My Friends, My Health Care Plan

In all the worrying this week over how we average Americans can dig down deep to bail out the rich CEOs on Wall Street, we almost forgot about health care reform. Not to worry! John McCain has the answer.

Here's what he wrote in the current issue of Contingencies magazine:

Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation. [emphasis added]

Sounds like a plan, all right. We can hardly wait to hear more at next week's presidential debate.
