Donald Johnson over at THCB provides a succinct answer. First, Obama offers a hair of the dog that bit us:
Obama wants more government-sponsored health insurance schemes, like the VA health care system, Medicare and the unaffordable Medicaid scheme that’s bankrupting the states and the Feds.
His plan compounds that dumb idea by sticking with the hopelessly inefficient employer-based insurance system:
Obama wants to keep employers involved in the insurance markets, even though they limit consumer choice, increase costs for consumers and make their workers buy expensive policies they don’t want nor need.
Finally, Obama’s plan will give big corporations big tax breaks while giving individuals the shaft:
Obama wants the tax laws to favor large employers who pay part of their workers’ health care bills while discriminating against individuals who have to use after-tax dollars to buy health insurance.
This is the “change we need”?
