McCain’s Health Plan - Go to the Emergency Room
Well - when you surround yourself with advisors like this…

A health care policy advisor for the McCain campaign told a newspaper reporter that nobody in the United States is technically uninsured, because everyone has access to hospital emergency rooms.
“So I have a solution [to the health care crisis]. And it will cost not one thin dime,” John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, told the Dallas Morning News in an interview published Thursday.
“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.”
Um - we wrote about an emergency room visit already. Might want to reread it and imagine it used as health Insurance.
How out of touch can one be?
Pretty amazing stuff. Now the McCain people are trying to say he’s not an adviser.
Yeah - and all those lobbyists are “unofficial”
