For those that think McCain's health care plan is better I ask you, Why?
The only people it really does anything for are those that pay high deductible HSA accounts, not a bad deal, but it does nothing for those that have employee paid insurance or good private insurance.
But taken a step beyond that, and one thing that was brought up in the 2nd debate and nobody really seems to talk about is what it would allow the insurance companies to do. Every year in our state we fight a bill that tries to get pushed thru that allows insurance companies to bypass state mandates, and set up shop in states with very lax insurance laws, but sell insurance to other states with tougher laws under the home state rules.
Our state has good laws that protect consumers and providers. If people think they have a hard time getting things covered under their insurance now, just wait. You'll possibly have cheaper insurance under McCains plan, and maybe more people will have it, but on thing is for sure, the amount of things covered will go down. I can almost promise that. paying for HC insurance that covers nothing is not an answer either, but think of the money the ins companies could make when they don't have to cover squat, but still get to take your premium payments every year.
So for those that think McCain's plan is better I'd really like to know why? Just becaues people don't use the word "socialized" and "universal" when talking about it? Because the nuts and bolts of the plan are junk and worse for the American people.
