My roommate would actually save almost $700 with the Bore plan, while Bushlite would only save him about $225. The difference is that he has paid for his own health insurance for most of the year.
The Bore plan seems to help a lot of people who definitely need it (those paying for their own health care, and those caring for relatives), but Bushlite's seems to reach a lot more. Personally, I'd like to see a blend of the two of them, but I know that is not going to happen.
It is a bit ironic, though, that Bore keeps accusing Bushlite of only cutting taxes on the rich, yet Bushlite's plan is the one that actually gives a tax cut to the working poor (though admittedly very little).
