Obama wants to expand health care access and lower costs. He wants to eliminate bureaucracy through IT spending, make families healthy and save money in the long-run.
... McCain: We need more community health centers, physical fitness programs, wellness and fitness, and a $5000 tax credit for health care. Joe the plumber is back.
... Obama says that the cost of the $5000 tax credit is that McCain will tax your health benefits, which are currently untaxed. And insurance companies will throw sick people off their insurance rolls.
... McCain is taking Joe the plumber's side, saying that Joe will have to buy health insurance that Obama mandates. 95% of people will receive more money, except for those people who want gold plated cadillac insurance plans for things like transplants. WTF?
Obama clearly won the health care part of the debate.
... Now on to Roe v Wade, could either of you nominate a SCOTUS justice who takes the other side of Roe v Wade? McCain says no on litmus tests. Now he's bragging about the Gang of 14. McCain voted for Breyer and Ginsburg, because he doesn't take ideology into account when voting. Then he throws 'strict Constitution' and 'legislating from the bench'.
... Obama won't impose a litmus test but he thinks Roe v Wade was rightly decided. Abortion is a moral issue. He looks for judges who know what ordinary people are going through, brings up Lily Ledbetter and equal pay.
Incidentally, the plumber's union was the first union to endorse Obama.
... McCain says that Obama voted against a ban on late term abortion, voted 'present' 139 times, aligned himself with the pro-abortion movement in America.
