McCain campaign quote proves Obama's better on health care?

Obama-Biden Senior Adviser Anita Dunn says that McCain Senior Adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin's admission that the presumed health care plan a person has at has at their job is better than any plan they could
receive with the McCain tax credit, is a "huge October surprise." Dunn said that the McCain campaign "was coming clean" in a teleconference today.

Dunn continued, saying that the Obama campaign's assertions that McCain's health care plan is "inadequate" have been proven "accurate" with Holtz-Eakin's admission. She echoed her surprise at the McCain campaign quote, and said that the Mc Cain campaign has had a "loose relationship with the truth."

Neera Tanden, Obama-Biden Domestic Policy Director, said that 20 million people will lose their employment health care under McCain's plan. She stated that putting people in an individual-based health care was inadequate because "people pay more for less." She added that the statistics and Holtz-Eakin's quote "reinforce that Senator Obama's plan has been right all along." She said that Obama's system is employer-based instead of individual-based like McCain's plan.

Tanden claimed that while Obama's plan is expensive, every cent of the plan is "fully paid for."
