Here is a local news report on Sen. John McCain's speech in Tampa, Florida, April 29, 2008, which set forth his plan to give American families a $5000 tax credit to help them purchase health insurance of their choosing.

There is no way I can afford McCain's plan. Single-payer is the answer!

You notice that McBush won't suggest anything that might decrease the profits of his campaign contributors.

What McCain is doing is helping corporate America so they can unload having any benefits packages for you.

Right now you are not taxed on your contribution to your healthcare plan. Once this nut gets into office you will be. It is taken out of your salary before you are taxed.

You are going to get screwed big time if you allow the Republicans to gain the White House again.

If the American people vote McCain - Palin into office they deserve every bit of god damn misery they get.

My policy for my wife and I runs $18,000 a year. Do you really think that John McCain providing a $5,000 tax exemption is going to do us any good?

John McCain is like most Republicans. They just can not get their asses out of the 50's.

They can not deal with reality, and they can not face facts.

You can pull 700 billion out of your asses for Wall Street and 10 billion a month for Iraq, but never enough for healthcare or education for your own people

The insurance companies own you.

Stop being silly! We'll get the cash from the money tree in the back yard of the White House.

You and your facts. Jeez...

Yes! Go HOME, John!

Instead of meeting with disability rights activists to explain why he refuses to co-sponsor the Community Choice Act of 2007, Senator McCain's staff allowed more than 20 activists to be arrested in front of his Senate office.

McCain's cynical proposal to cash people out of their employee paid health care is monstrous!

Will millions facing home foreclosures and evictions (due in part to a long process begun in 1989 when McCain was involved with the Keating Five and the Savings and Loan collapse), chances are that many will neglect re-investing that money in their insurance and try to pay-off their mounting debts.

"Here's your money. You're on your own!"

Let's see. We are rebating $2500 to every taxpayer? If we figure (conservatively) there are 200 million taxpayers in the country, that works out to 500 BILLION Dollars!!! Will we borrow that from the Chinese like we are borrowing the billions for the war? What a fraud!
