I don't think you understand the proposal if you think this. Those that would benefit the most are those that are self-employed or have limited health care through their employer, such as small businesses, or companies like Walmart that give limited health care benefits. The tax credit for these people would offset the tax paid on their health care benefits. While for people that get top-level health care plans, that would not be the case, and they would end up paying tax. These are generally people in the higher tax brackets. The main problem is, as others have stated, people that have high-cost plans due to age or disability would be effected, and also that there would be still no regulation on the actual cost of the health care plans, which is a big part of the problem. While this proposal would do a world of good for people like me, I have a hard time seeing it as truly feasible. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:225600 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
