John McCain wants to tax your employer-provided health care benefits. He wants to replace those benefits with an insufficient tax credit–$2500 for individuals and $5000 for families (the average cost per family is for health insurance is $12000).
. . .Obama campaign has let things go this far without pointing out that McCain–who opposes the energy bill because it would increase taxes on oil companies–is actually proposing a tax increase on health care benefits for American workers. But that is precisely what the Senator from Arizona is doing.

Obama made the tax increase on health care point in his acceptance speech and I have heard it made by his campaign at other times. Joe must have missed the moments.
Still, I agree that it is a strong point worth pushing more strongly.
