host, we are mostly on the same page regarding healthcare but I think you are wrong to characterize Bush's proposal this way. This is not so much a healthcare proposal as a tax fairness issue. This would put those who have to buy their own insurance on the same playing field as those who get the benefit provided to them as far as taxes are concerned.
Sure he mucked it up by putting in a $15K cap for insurance before taxes kick in but at least both sides get the same deductions. From what I understand it is intended to be revenue neutral.
