Would You Be Covered??

Would you be covered under John McCain’s health care plan? I wouldn’t.

 

Regardless of who wins the Democratic nomination, that person will be running against John McCain. What is his position regarding women’s rights to choose?–Basically, his position is to do everything possible to stop a woman from having reproductive choices. And when it comes to McCain’s healthcare plan, anyone with a preexisting medical condition should be very concerned.

I was watching ABC’s Sunday program, This Week with George Stephanopoulos

John McCain was being interviewed, first on the economy, then on his healthcare plan, and then on Barack Obama’s patriotism. I thought I would take some time to address McCain’s plan (or lack of) for healthcare.

Unlike Clintons and Obamas plans, McCain doesn’t seem to think it’s important to insure everyone have quality and affordable healthcare. It actually seems like his plan is to see how happy he can make the health insurance industry.
Over 40 million Americans do not have health insurance, and under the McCain plan, neither will people with preexisting conditions. So, who won’t be covered? Anyone with a preexisting condition such as…

Asthma

Diabetes

Any Type of Cancer

Heart/Blood Pressure Problems

All Chronic Illnesses
But don’t worry. McCain says, he will “talk” to each state and “try” to have them cover some people with preexisting conditions. Well…That makes me feel a lot better…NOT. This is nothing more than straight-talking double-talk. What he should be saying is…If you thought things were bad with health care now, just wait till I am in office. I think someone needs to point out to the McCain campaign, that calling something “straight-talk” doesn’t actually make it straight-talk. Although, in his defense, he is just doing exactly what the Bush administration has become an expert in. Giving something a “feel good” name, that doesn’t reflect the truth in any way. Let me give you some examples…

 

 Support The Troops

Foreclosure Prevention Bill

No Child Left Behind

Just to name a few.
Bottom line. …Things aren’t always as they seem…Especially when it come to straight-talk.This is from The New York Times…

As Senator John McCain spends this week talking about health care and health insurance coverage, the Service Employees International Union has begun broadcasting an ad against his plans in Ohio and Washington, D.C.

The S.E.I.U.’s ad buy coincides with a new bus road tour it began this week, starting in Cleveland, to promote and push for better health insurance coverage.
