"So I have a solution. And it will cost not one thin dime. The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American - even illegal aliens - as uninsured. Instead, the bureau should categorize people according to the likely source of payment should they need care."So, there you have it. Voila! Problem solved."
- John Goodman, President of the National Center for Policy Analysis, aka the assholes who wrote McCain's health care plan
So, we "solve" the uninsured problem by saying they aren't uninsured? That's like when the South "ended slavery" by instituting sharecropping.
I was thinking of this troll and his sad, pathetic candidate McCain when listening to Fresh Air the other day. Terry was talking to a political scientist who was comparing the Obama and McCain health care proposals, and wrote it up in the New England Journal of Medicine (read here if interested).
Basically, other than to mock in the face of poor and, yes, uninsured, I do not see one good reason to back McCain's so-called plan.
