The President does not have the power to revoke a pardon - once a pardon has cleared a person's record, revoking it would impose a punishment by imperial decree. To sentence a person twice for the same act violates the concept of double-jeopardy. Everybody got that? Good.

John McCain's proposal is to tax employer provided healthcare benefits, and use that money to give a $5,000 credit to families who buy their own insurance. It's supposedly revenue-neutral, meaning the government pays nothing out of pocket to run the program.
