McCain’s Healthcare Plan
Sean Hackbarth at the American Mind takes a look at McCain’s healthcare plan.
Like President Bush did with education in 2000 McCain is taking on an issue that isn’t in the Republican playbook. Health care can’t be ignored. Costs continue to rise with Americans worried about their employer continuing coverage or fearful of running head first into financial catastrophe. The last Republican to seriously take on health care was Newt Gingrich promoting health savings accounts (HSA). Yet HSAs have been slow to be part of the American health care landscape. McCain doesn’t want to be seen as “out of touch” on an important issue in voters’ minds. For conservatives Bush’s No Child Left Behind ended up being a mixed bag. McCain’s plan might also be mixed but is the best plan at stopping a government takeover of health care.
He also has links to a lot of other coverage.
