Talk about straight talk. Campaigns don’t usually admit that they are proposing to replace an existing program with one that’s way worse, but John McCain’s top economic adviser seems to have done so on health care.
Explaining to CNN Money why young, healthy workers wouldn’t simply abandon employer plans and pocket McCain’s proposed $5,000 tax credit, Holtz-Eakin said, “Why would they leave? … What they are getting from their employer is way better than what they could get with the credit.”
Team Obama will hammer this point in a conference call this afternoon. We expect an will ad soon follow.
