Costs or the uninsured

March 11, 2008

Dueling Democrat and Republican visions. Read how McCain’s plan focuses on cost, which I think should be the preferred target.

Good article, except it starts out with the tired old 47 million uninsured canard.

Also, McCain’s plan might work for my family, which asks questions like “Do we really need that test? Is there a generic for that?” but a whole lot of people are going to “invest” in that plasma TV and WII, and hit the ER for their ear infections and flu symptoms.

I’m also quite skeptical that employers will hand over all that cash in lieu of paying for the benefit.
