Whooa, that's bad

NYT's Bob Herbert discusses the McCain health care plan. Turns out McCain actually wants to tax employer-provided health insurance. The result, according to an independent analysis by scholars at Columbia, Harvard, Michigan, and Perdue:


The McCain plan will force millions of Americans into the weakest segment of the private insurance system — the nongroup market — where cost-sharing is high, covered services are limited and people will lose access to benefits they have now.


The net result will be to “almost certainly will be to increase family costs for medical care.”

Damn! I knew his campaign was dishonorable, but apparently that's nothing compared to what he would do if actually elected!
