I'm no expert, certainly, but my layperson's perusal of Obama's plan hardly meets with that "definition" of "Universal" health care. If I read it right, his plan would actually increase competition by allowing everyone the choice of their employer's coverage, or the equivalent of federal employee's coverage. If your employer's offered coverage is too expensive for too little coverage, and the fed plan is better, pick the fed plan. The idea is to drive down those prices by increasing availability and options. Will it work? I don't know. It sounds like a good start, at least. The tax deduction and tax credit plans I've seen from other candidates don't exactly sound better, except that they play on the claim to reduce taxes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:253722 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
