The other reasons being he lacks even the basic understanding of economics, healthcare, etc., and by securing his nomination early he doesn't have to. We've already had one president too many who doesn't have a clue about policy. No matter our differences, let's be damn sure we don't do it again any time soon. -AF <a href="http://sullyisfraud.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Andrew Sully Is A Fraud</a> I’ve said it before and I say it again: One of the top reasons John McCain hasn’t given details on most of his policies is they are being created by lobbyists and neocons or neocon lobbyists.

If you will not mandate the the insurance companies, how will people with past conditions or with current conditions find affordable health care? The key word is Affordable Mr. McCain! Also Mr. McCain, How can you say people will be able to make there own decision on health care, when a policy holder must get permission for treatment prior to treatment? And when a life is on the line, and treatment is turned down, will the policy holders be able to sue the insurance companies? This is a shame....plane and simple. HR676 BILL IN CONGRESS. READ IT, CALL YOUR REP. SEN. PRES. AND DEMAND THE BILL BE INTRODUCED. IT'S THE ONLY SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM FOR THIS COUNTRY. Oh, one last question... Mr. McCain, if we have the best accsess to health care as you state, why do we have 40million uninsured? While other industrialized nations cover all of there citizens? One question will destroy McShames health care plan;

The health care industry would love nothing more than the status quo. Anyone who talks about changing health care and includes insurance companies simply doesn't get it. Health care should not be a "for profit" business. Everyone needs health care (or will, at some point) and it should be universally available. People who say they don't want to pay a tax for people to have health care don't realize they already are paying it - only it's called an insurance premium.
