The Center for American Progress is announcing a new report Wednesday that finds "McCain Health Plan Will Raise Taxes, Take Away Missouri Families' Health Care." Verbatim:

ST. LOUIS, MO – With ordinary Americans increasingly struggling under the combined impact of the banking and health care crises, the Center for American Progress Action Fund is preparing to release a report detailing how the McCain health care plan would increase the burden on middle-class families in Missouri. The report, which will be released Wednesday at a joint press conference held by Change to Win, and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), will detail the number of Missourians expected to lose employer-sponsored health insurance under John McCain's health care plan. It also details the tax hike middle class families would experience over four years under John McCain's health care plan. Center for American Progress Action Fund Senior Fellow Peter Harbage will join former U.S. Senator Jean Carnahan to discuss what the McCain health plan means for Missouri.
