Ms. Sibelius is a liar.

Now to health care: Gov. Sebelius is right. McCain will throw everyone off their employer sponsored health care plan and tax their health care benefits for the first time in history. He says it as well, it is a fact.

With health care cossts skyrocketing, he’ll tax your health care benefits and then claim to give you a tax credit, but you won’t actually see the tax credit. It will go directly to the insurance company. So you have to purchase your health care first and then claim the credit on your tax return which is then sent to the insurance company.

Millions will be dropped from their current plans and left to their own on the open market, which means if you have a pre-existing condition, you won’t be able to get coverage or it will be so expensive that no tax credit will cover the cost of the insurance.

The insurance companies will still be able to exclude certain conditions such as diabetes and those who had employer coverage will be left without.

Also McCain claims that his tax credit will increase with the CPI. Too bad that health insurance increases go up at way more than the CPI. This doesn’t get more people on health insurance. It will throw more people off over time than those it will cover.

Whistler, you seem to always imply that McCain and the GOP aren’t doing enough. Remember, it’s hard to play football when the refs are part of the opposing team.

I’m not much of a football fan, but rather a hockey fan.

When the other team hooks and holds the refs won’t call it unless you keep moving your feet and try to go through it.

So yeah, if the only ones talking about it is some radio and blogger guys who’s really going to care even though the majority of people are aware of the bias.

So call the other guys on it. At this point it ain’t going to hurt.

The Commonwealth fund found that 20% of working adults looking for health insurance coverage were charged more for preexisting health conditions or outright rejected for health reasons.

Throwing citizens who have coverage into the individual market will not cover more people nor will it save those individuals any money.

Bad policy on McCain’s part so I can see why he wants to start his smear campaign. I wouldn’t want to talk about his health care plan or the economy if I were him either.

Lefties lie; it’s all they have.

Correcting the record is vital, but the Republicans in Washington don’t seem to care.

Perhaps if you stuck to topics of which you have some small working knowledge: over-priced labor contracts, under-paid day laborer pickets, and of course feather-bedding. Obviously mortgage finance, economics, and the functioning of markets is NOT exactly your strong suit.

Now to health care: Gov. Sebelius is right. McCain will throw everyone off their employer sponsored health care plan and tax their health care benefits for the first time in history. He says it as well, it is a fact.

Except that’s NOT in his plan that you linked to. He never mentions the mortgage or bank industries. So you’re lying Puzzle. Not that lying is anything new to you.

In fact the page you link to says that people will get a tax break even if THEIR EMPLOYER covers them.

Indeed, McCain plans to further regulate the market by using medicaid and medicare as a stick to beat doctors into charging lower prices. And using the government to force health insurance companies to continue to provide care to people who change jobs.

Or in short, not a single f-in thing you said is true.
