Where's the gutless media on this story? Why isn't it looped 24/7? Guess they don't want to harm their buddy-buddy McCain. They love those BBQ's.

This @sswhole want us to select our own health plans and then give us a $1500/$5000 credit that will go directly to the health insurance company! He is serious! There are no provisions for the health insurance company to approve someone with a pre-existing condition, which most human beings have. I don't want to see a post from someone saying they don't have a pre-existing condition, because if you had half a brain, you would know that an insurance company can classify "acne" as a pre-existing condition.

For those Hillary supporters who say they will vote for this idiot if she is not the nominee, will get exactly what they deserve, NOTHING!

I am still amazed that we are amazed by Washington cronyism and corporate shilling.

There is absolutely no room between a doctor and a patient for an organization that is required, by law, to make a profit.

In a real world with intelligent, thinking professional journalists, the MSM would be all over McCain and his dozens of lobbyist buddies.

see if this guy is elected the american public is the dumbest bunch of people in this damn world

McCain introduced at health care event by health care lobbyist.

And check out McCain"s wonderful plan- he wants to do away with employer sponsored health care, which covers 60% of Americans now, & force us to buy health insurance from private companies.
