Well, John McCain brought forth his healthcare plan today. And if you are...well, that is...hey, no problem. A tax credit. An open market. [Would that be like the unregulated airline industry?...that's workin' well these days. Not.]
People choose, says McCain, instead of employers or...booga, boogah...the gummint. We, the people are the government, though, if we can just wrench it back from the neocon Republican extremists.
But if you're not well, hey, have they got a deal for you.
Oh, wait, what's that you say? There is no deal for the chronically ill, those with pre-existing medical conditions?
Shhhh, wait, have you heard the latest about Obama's pastor?
McCain offers the usual Republican panacea...the unseen hand of the marketplace. Hyperbole about state-philosophized GAP programs that may or may not emerge. Oh, and go walking 30 minutes a day so ya don't get sick.
That's our Johnny. Always a quick fix that ends up not passing the smell test. Kinda like that campaign finance reform bill--unKeating-Feingold, remember?--he's end-running these days. Or is it end-flying, thanks to his wife's corporate jet.
