- sullivanst, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4FTA: Princeton Economist [and this year's Nobel Prizewinner for Economics] Paul Krugman has looked at McCain’s health care plan and McCain’s campaign response to [Elizabeth] Edwards. His conclusion? It’s “nonsense on multiple levels” and “completely wrongheaded.” McCain’s health care plan, Krugman says, won’t cover more people and won’t cut costs.
- thepoliticalcat, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2sullivanst, not only that but after spending $1.3 TRILLION that we don't have in the treasury, it will ensure that fewer people have health care of any sort while making the health insurance companies wealthy and happy. Anyone who has less than $10 million to play with and votes for McCain is insane or really stupid.

"So, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) didn’t join Florida workers at yesterday’s roundtable in Jacksonville, Fla., and opted for a $2,300-a-plate fundraiser instead.
If he’d shown up, he could have learned a lot about the realities of America’s health care crisis. Instead, the workers had to take their message to him, standing outside his fundraiser and asking for a better plan to fix the broken health care system. This is the second AFL-CIO worker roundtable that McCain has skipped.
It’s particularly galling for McCain to ignore these Florida workers because it’s clear that the health care plan he’s proposed ignores the reality of our health care crisis. As The Boston Globe reports, McCain’s campaign is “scrambling” to figure out how to spin a disastrous plan that won’t cut costs, won’t cover more people and would raise taxes on employers and employees alike, pushing workers out of job-based plans and leaving them at the mercy of the private insurance market.
Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Sen. John Edwards, this week raised the issue that McCain’s plan won’t require insurers to cover those with pre-existing conditions, which means many of us will be left without coverage. Cancer survivors like Edwards, and yes, McCain, were he not in the Senate, would have no guarantees that they’d be able to get insurance. (McCain’s years in government mean he’s spent decades in Congress with government-funded, comprehensive health care coverage.)" - chosenson, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2McCain's wife is Big Business.
