Senator John Mccain has stated that in order to improve the country’s health care system, that taxes would have to be increased.
He made such a statement today during an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, after previously stating that he would never raise taxes to improve health care.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So they would see their taxes go up potentially.
MCCAIN: It depends on, on, on what plan they have. But that’s usually the wealthiest people. Ordinary working Americans have the kind of – or an overwhelming majority have the health insurance plans that this tax credit, refundable tax credit, will actually put more money in their pockets for the purchase of health care than what they had before.
McCain also spoke on the bail out program of 700 billion dollars being proposed by President Bush to help pull the country out of pending economic doom:
STEPHANOPOULOS: So Speaker Pelosi hopes to post the details of this deal on the Internet around noon today. Is this something you can be for?
MCCAIN: Again, I’d like to see the details, but hopefully yes. And the outlines that I have read of it, that this is something that all of us will swallow hard and go forward with. The option of doing nothing is simply not an acceptable option.
STEPHANOPOULOS: It looks like Senator Obama is also going to support the deal. He put out a statement this morning, but he said it’s also time now for Washington to show that it gets the urgency of the crisis on Main Street, as well, says Congress has to pass a stimulus plan for the middle class, which extends unemployment benefits, adds infrastructure funding, and sends money to the states to shore up their budgets. Are you for that, as well?
MCCAIN: I am for keeping taxes low. I am for whatever steps we think we need to be taking right now.
