Seeing as I forgot to pay my COBRA this month and will likely be without health care for god knows how long, not to mention having spent four of the past years without it, now seems like a good time to look at McCain's new bullshit health care plan.
So hmmm...lets see here. In complete opposition to his Democratic opponents universal health care plans, McCain is offering pretty much the same thing as President Bush did and his flopped in Congress. Smart.
In the plan pharmaceutical company's will not be subject to regulation and therefore be able to charge gramsie and popsie any amount they want for their arthritis medicine. A shift would also be made so that instead of getting coverage via an employer, it will shift to an individual based model which will supposedly allow you the hassle of finding cheaper health care. Insurance companies will want your business and lower their cost. Huh? Why doe this not seem likely?
Included is also a $5,000 family tax credit. But really, I can't think of one reason why this would be considered a good idea. Anyone?
