Please provide to All Candidates & to ask them if they agree with this and response
Part 4.
Unemployment Insurance is included Pre-Paid by your employer to cover wages the amount unknown to write about if I knew more.
But they should always go back two and it should go by your last employer who paid for the your benefit. Even if you walk in on the last day of two years and want to claim for the previous two years.

Cobra Insurance is Insurance after you leave employment For a period of time usually cost to much to afford, that is why it needs to be pre-paid Ins to cover this that cover all above for a period of time.
You pay your portion for coverage of Cobra.

Part 5.
Cost of Coverage
The cost for this has not been determined yet. I don%u2019t know yet starting at $30,000.00, I am thinking which might be on the high side at least I hope is a follows, remember this is for everything and no co- pay for any of it and it increases with every thousand earned %u201Cworking on the figures:
30,000.00 a year income:
A single person no children: $1,440.00 a year
Married Couple no children: $2,880.00 a year
Married with one children: $3,000.00 a year
Married with two children: $3,120.00 a year
Married with three children: $3,240.00 a year
And if you have more than nine children the max amount that you pay is: Married with nine children: $3,960.00 a year
Like I said these figures might be high but if they are they can be reduced or adjusted down and it is to cover all but taxes.

Part 7.
$100,000.00 a year income:
A single person no children: $3,120.00 a year
Married Couple no children: $6,240.00 a year
Married with one children: $8,040.00 a year

Married with three children: $11,640.00 a year
And if you have more than nine children the max amount that you pay is: Married
with nine children: $22,440.00 a year

My other plans would offset cost of this, wage increases and staples reductions.
You may need surgery costing $100,000.00 at any given time - your covered
You may lose a love one who a wage earner due accident - your family is covered for a $1 million dollars.
You may lose your job - your covered
You may get permanently injured and can no longer work SSI, SSD, SS - your covered.
You can count on funds being the when you retire and/or if you need living assistance.

Part 8.
But the only way to insure that these figures are not to high is to do a input out put of funds within this program. An make adjustments as needed.

I haven%u2019t come up with a good plan for Part-time workers as to how they pay for coverage, but I am thinking that they would be under the $30,000.00 income level. They must be covered too.

The above would replace Medicaid, Medicare, veterans medical and other Insurances.
This would cover you 24/7 medically, financially pay for bills when you can%u2019t dues Accidental or medical documentation or between jobs and of course in death to your love one from a accident.
I thought I sent this to John McCain & Sarah Palin but I was wrong after looking for the plan that I previous wrote I could not find it. Some where I got it written better.
Insurance companies can be reform to handle medical claims, Accidental claims and set up a claim seeker on behave of the public.

If this is what CBS intended, then it did not complete the promise . . . "more than sound bites."
If there is nothing else to say to these two men on THEIR lies, both personally and by their campaign staff, then the issue might as well have stayed closed.
This was terribly disappointing, as usual.

[factsearcher]

First of all, Katie is just asking the questions...the candidates are the ones giving the idiotic answers.
They both said they don''t lie and cant find a situation (from the top of their heads) where they lie to the american people.
Now, how are they going to explain how they are lying in our faces when either of them win the presidency and will raise taxes across the board.
With this economy and the bailout situation... theres no other way but raising taxes to come up with money for the american society to exist.

[mbourn2]

Wow, Katie, did you play softball when you were a kid? Because you throw a mean 9-foot arc. Thanks for a useless, easy question that illuminates nothing and makes both candidates seems the same. How ''''bout a follow-up to McCain: "Then why do you think it''''s okay to lie to the American public in a campaign ad?"

She would not ask that because she would not want to have to ask Obama the same thing. Neither side has been all that candid in recent weeks. See FactCheck.org.

Obama: I don''t think it''s appropriate to lie to the American people.

Obama does lie. Go to http://theobamafile.com/ and click on lies.

How can he say: I don''t think it''s appropriate to lie. And I think that one of the things I want to change about the culture of Washington is, not just the "big lie," but also the "soft lie." The fudging, the manipulation, the spin. Shame on him for lying!

At first I was for Obama, but now I will vote for McCain. My mind changed after watching his choreographed speeches, finding out that he is inexperienced, and does not have a clue that the United States of America is worth fighting for. Country First! God Bless the USA!!

Wow Katie....
Such insight... now I really look forward to your interview with Sarah Palin. Be sure to ask her what her favorite color is.

[rose1la]

I don''t understand, McCain lies throughout his entire campaign, but expects us to believe he''ll only tell the truth as president? And his statement, "you could draw a scenario where Americans were facing a threat to our very existence and you had to not have them panic" leaves too much open to his interpretation (remember the non-existent WMD in Iraq). Besides, if we''re facing a threat to our existence I''M SURE I''D WANT TO KNOW THAT.

And it''s BILLY CLINTON''s baby

SHURCH4TRUTH: Are you kidding me! You libs are so crazy with your hatred of right leaning LIBERTARIANs and CONSERVATIVES you''d lie about anything...just to make you look good. READ if you have a brain to understand ANYTHING..It''s Barney Frank''s baby.

[ioweign]

Ooops...He Lied. Again.

Newsweek and New York Times report that John McCain has been caught lying about his campaign manager''s lobbying on behalf of Fannie Mae.

McCain said that Rick Davis had long ago severed ties with Fannie Mae. Not true. His lobbying firm has received $15,000 per month each month until...last month.

[recession1]

YES INDEED THERE HAVE BEEN MOMENTS WHERE BIDEN AND OBAMA DID NOT AGREE. YOU''RE CORRECT ON THAT ISSUE. MY P0INT IS THAT IF THE VP HAD TO TAKE OVER OFFICE FOR EITHR PARTY, I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO AT LEAST HAS HIS OWN MIND/OPINIONS THEN A PRESIDENT WHO IS JUST A SHADOW OF HER "TOP OF THE TICKET" PARTNER!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!

[docpeter1953]

After the Clinton Administration and the Democrats in Congress... They no longer needed to prove to a bank that they had the ability to pay back those mortgages.
The blame ultimately should go to the Clintons.

WRONG!

Blame the greedy lenders who knew or should have known that the buyer was not capable of paying for their home at even the subprime rate, much less when the ARM kidked in, but then loaned tne $$ anyway. The subprime lender knew he was going to off load that loan in a package to someone else, without their complete knowledge about the loan, then it would become some elses problem...collapse of the investment banking system.

Did the govt cause this? Some of it by dereg the investment banking industry. This industry didn''t take the time to look over all the loans in the package before they bought and sold it. Like signing a contract and not reading the fine print.

Did the subprime lenders cause this? Definately. It would be fair to say they were not totally honest and truthful (they lied) about what they were selling, just going after the $$.

Who made all the $? Sumprime lenders?

[spk51]

Fenner and all the republicans:
One question. How do you explain Palin''s
statement that she visited Iraq and Ireland? According to McCain''s campaign people, Palin went to a border crossing between Kuwait/Iraq and traveled inside Iraq about a mile. Then on her way home the plane stopped to refuel in Ireland.
Were these LIES or just a confused mind?
Not a good thing either way!!!!
I could go on and on but, you get my point?
McCain/Palin = LIARS
