Barack Obama Pummels McCain On Healthcare

  Senator McCain doesn't like to talk about this plan all that much. But this morning, we were offered a stunning bit of straight talk – an October surprise – from his top economic advisor, who actually said that the health insurance people currently get from their employer is – and I quote – "way better" than the health care they would get if John McCain becomes President.   Barack Obama  in Harrisonburg, Virginia on 10/28/2008    Speech Excerpts

  This was said after McCain's senior economic policy advisor ( Douglas Holtz-Eakin ) admitted that John's healthcare plan does little to help people in need.

Younger, healthier workers likely wouldn't abandon their company-sponsored plans, said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, McCain's senior economic policy adviser.

"Why would they leave?" said Holtz-Eakin. "What they are getting from their employer is way better than what they could get with the credit."        CNN

   So once again, by accident I'm sure, the McCain campaign admits that they have nothing when it comes to America's healthcare options unless you are one of the healthcare insurance providers.
