McCain's health care "plan"

[medeak]

listened to his entire 1 hour long speech on XM POTUS channel while traveling yesterday.

recruit famous athletes to visit schools to motivate kids to exercise

run anti smoking ads

for those with chronic disease or pre-existing conditions "leave it to the state governers and legislatures to work something out for them"

Even my republican husband was appalled...oh..and he laughs at the $5000 tax credit for insurance.

Can't wait for debate time!

1. Anyone who votes for him and subsequently dies from inadequate health coverage

deserves a Darwin prize.

2. The man is sick.

From his plan

"John McCain Will Encourage And Expand The Benefits Of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) For Families. When families are informed about medical choices, they are more capable of making their own decisions and often decide against unnecessary options. Health Savings Accounts take an important step in the direction of putting families in charge of what they pay for."

Yeah John, unecessary options like regular checkups or costly tests to find out about disease.

Yeah that an reforms on Medicare payments to health care providers and tort "reform".

You piece of garbage.

3. oh and McCain on Medicare and Social Security:

"I will reach across the aisle to come to a solution"

so that's his plan? Let the dems work it out?

Let the States work everything out? Hell...medicaid in my state is broke..how the hell are we supposed to come up with care for chronic disease?

4. He truly is a "leader" in the mold of Bush
