McCain's Health Plan Abandons Unhealthy
While Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is traveling the country criticizing Democrat universal health proposals, his private sector solution leaves those individuals with preexisting health problems in Limbo.

"I will work tirelessly to address the problem," McCain said, a few days ago during a speech at a cancer research center. "But I won't create another entitlement program that Washington will let get out of control. Nor will I saddle states with another unfunded mandate."

8. Patience, my friend.
Once we get lined out, McSame and the rest of the Republicans are toast. I'm talking about a GOP election defeat of Biblical proportions.

3. Well that's the whole problem isn't it?
Insurance companies only want people who pay premiums and not those who use benefits.

Yes, I know, using the words "insurance companies" and "benefits" in the same sentence defies logic and gets me an "F" in grammar. But at least I used the spell check!

5. The stingy old bastard is abandoning everyone who isn't
upper middle class and healthy! Face it, this is the GOP's next push, to separate health insurance from employment so the poor corporations will be able to reward their top executives much more lavishly than they do now.

No one with an income below six figures as well as no one with a chronic condition need apply.

I think we need to defund HIS mandate. Since he's a rich man, he certainly doesn't need healthcare from either Congress or the VA.

6. Government/Taxpayers been paying McCains health bill all his life
John McCain had/will have health care paid by "We the People," from cradle to grave. He hasn't a clue and he really doesn't give a damn about those dying from lack of medical care and those losing their homes. He has free medical care and he and Cindy have 8-homes.

9. Better to let sick people die than to create another "entitlement" program - John McCain
