John McCain's healthplan is on the news and on the radio.  ABC Nightly News totally forgot to present an important fact which is sort of difficult to explain.  The net result will result in an increased death rate for Americans.

The critical part of the McCain plan involves the money people use to pay for insurance or health care.  Right now the money you earn and spend on your employer provided health insurance is paid in pre-tax dollars.  You can also set aside money to pay for expenses not covered by insurance.  These pre-tax dollars are specified by Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, and are usually called a "Flex Plan" or "Flexible Benefits."  Under the McCain plan, these earnings will no longer be tax free.  Obama tried to explain this in the debate, but it is a difficult concept to explain clearly and quickly.

John McCain also wants to deregulate the healthcare (really just the insurance) industry.  I guess I really don't need to say any more than that.

McCain: What hump?

Your turn!
