Health care shouldn't be linked to employment

Jeff Jacoby writes succinctly on why healthcare should not depend on being employed; He explains McCain's $5,000 refundable tax credit better than McCain has during his entire campaign--which says a lot about McCain's inability to communicate his platform effectively. In essence, much of the problems we have with our healthcare system stems from the federal government tweaking the tax code to favor one group over another. The result over the last 60 years has been a lesson in unintended consequences.
