10/10/2008: Tax Credits Would Move People Out of Group Plans and Into Individual Policies Where the Benefits Aren't As Good (Jane Bryant Quinn, Newsweek, via Physicians for a National Health Program)
Excerpt: "If you think that 'The Market' -- whatever market -- always works for the best, you'll love John McCain's version of health insurance reform. It uses the tax code to shove you toward individual policies (more 'choice!') and away from comprehensive, employer supported plans. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center puts the cost of his proposed subsidies at $1.3 trillion over 10 years."
