Why do most of us send our credit-card bills to South Dakota or Delaware? The answer to that seemingly arcane question illustrates the dangers of replacing state regulation with no regulation at all. It also offers a cautionary tale about a little-understood provision at the center of John McCain's health care plan. So bear with me for a little history.

    This is a bad idea. If you think that it's hard for the health care providers to get paid now, wait and see what this would do.

      What hypocrite McCain is planning to do is to end the tax credit given to employers who offer health care (medical, medicines and dental) to their employees. This will effectively end employer offered health care. Employees will be on their own to shop for this for self and their families.

      For those who have no idea of what it will cost, if you are one of the lucky one covered by your employer, just ask the HR Department what it will cost if you end up under COBRA.

      If McCain gets elected and fulfills his promise, you can safely add the cost under COBRA + 100%.

      Make sure, you are sitting down when they tell you the answer.
