McCain touts Bush healthcare plan

September 13, 2008 by hummingbirdminds

This comes from the DNC:

The Tulsa World reports that President Bush will conduct a business roundtable in Oklahoma City today to promote his failed plan for health savings accounts before heading off to a private closed door fundraiser for John McCain's campaign. [Tulsa World, 9/12/08: http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=20080910_16_A4_hHepla243517]

As part of his record of voting with President Bush more than 90 percent of the time, John McCain endorsed the Bush plan for health savings accounts even though the Wall Street Journal said was "dead-on-arrival in Congress in early 2007." This plan is a radical new scheme to tax health insurance benefits for the first time in history, provide more power to insurance companies, and give families a tax credit that covers only a fraction of average health insurance costs.

Can we just have the health care plan that John McCain has as a senator?

John McCain is 72 years old and a skin cancer survivor.  There is NO insurance plan that will cover him as a private citizen.  His only option outside of having oodles of Cindy's money is medicare.    Wondering about cancer patients I called Blue Cross Blue Shield in Arizona for a quote.  According to the person on the phone they don't cover people with cancer as a pre-existing condition until they've been cancer free for 10 years.  What do you do for those ten years?  Hope the cancer doesn't come back?

Medicare does cover cancer but it's the same medicare that McCain has voted to cut, and take apart.

A Day Late and a Dollar Short:

Unfair reference to Senator McCain’s plan to add trillions to the national debt through implementing flawed policies like making permanent the Bush tax cuts, creating additional tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest of Americans and continuing the war in Iraq. Unlike Barack Obama John McCain has not outlined a concrete way to pay for his plans, and instead has relied on gimmicks and tag lines which do not reflect the type of serious decision-making that the next president will need to make on our long-term fiscal situation.
