Because it is a tax credit for individual taxpayers, it allows you to buy individual insurance in the open market. McCain's people think that will spur the growth of the individual insurance market and bring about better rates in that area. Obama quoted the US Chamber of Commerce in the debate, where they said that McCain's plan would spell the end of employer-sponsored coverage. That might be true, but it would be true because of massive growth of options in the individual insurance market. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:273422 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
