8/18/2008: McCain's Health Insurance Plan: More Radical Than Democrats'? (The Dallas Morning News)
Excerpt: "Democratic health care proposals may have gotten more attention during the primaries, but Republican John McCain's plan just might be more revolutionary. The GOP nominee-to-be wants to tax workers on the value of the insurance they receive from employers. At the same time, everyone would be offered a federal tax credit to help them pay for insurance – whether a company plan or one purchased on their own. Buyers could subtract up to $5,000 from their federal tax tab come April 15. Or they could simply sign over the credit to an insurer in order to purchase coverage."
