Thanks for the link, very informative. I didn't know McCain's health care plan is targeted to the middle class and low income people and may reduce the tax benefits of rich people until I read this blog. Now it looks to me Obama's attacks on McCain's health care plan are disingenuous.
Too bad it takes a chart to explain McCain's health plan. And for most American voters reading a chart is above their heads, thanks to our wonderful public school systems.
