AMA Plan Falls Short of a Solution
The American Medical Association (AMA) recently released a proposal aimed at solving the health insurance crisis present in the country today. With more and more people remaining ininsured, premiums skyrocketing, and coverages being drastically reduced, there has been a cry for reform which as yet remains unanswered according to Morgan Moran, an insurance specialist and advocate for insurance for all Americans.

Obamaâ??s plan will reduce a typical familyâ??s premium by up to $2,500 by

Give me the $5,000
What would a tax credit do for someone who makes $15 an hour and can’t pay their premium? Tax credits are for people that are wealthy…
I hear what you are saying about give me $5,000 Bud L. Do you think you would still be asking for $5,000 if you couldn’t obtain health coverage due to a history of Cancer? I would think not.
McCain’s approach is just going to allow people to use the cash tax break to go spend it on TVs and other things. People will not be disiplined enough to put it back into their health insurance costs. Kind of like the stimulis check we received from Bush.
