thinkprogress.org — The Wonk Room has long argued that Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) plan to eliminate the current employer tax exemption for health benefits and provide all Americans with a $2,500 tax credit ($5,000 for families) would lead some employers to drop health coverage.

The real issue to be concerned about here is that McCain's plan would make it so employee provided health care benefits would be TAXED.

What am I supposed to do with a $5,000 tax credit? That certainly won't buy health insurance for my whole family. I pay almost that much a year now for health care and I HAVE INSURANCE.Hello, 9/11? I need help right now.Okay, sir, we'll send you a tax credit. Have a nice day.

The funding of the illegal war in Iraq would certainly have paid for a lot of it.
