Great article in yesterday's New York Times on McCain's plan to tax employer provided health benefits.  The title says it all:  "Business Cool Toward McCain's Health Coverage Plan."  At our town hall meeting in Rochester, NY, last week, Brian O'Shaughnessy, the CEO of Revere Copper Products, pointed out the challenges of our current system:  employers pay for their own employees' health care, and US taxpayers help to fund national health plans in Germany and Canada every time we purchase a good from those nations. The candidates are right to focus on health care.  Too many uninsured, too much cost, not enough coverage.  Health care also affects the competitiveness of American manufacturing.  Is it a good idea to tax health benefits provided by employers?  Here's hoping the candidates will have an opportunity to explain their views on all of this at tonight's debate.
