	<abstract><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.usnews.com/features/news/politics/candidates-mccain.html">John McCain</a> wants the health care industry to be more like the banking industry.</p>

<p>This from a McCain <a href="http://www.contingencies.org/septoct08/mccain.pdf">article</a> in <em><a href="http://www.contingencies.org/">Contingencies</a></em>, the magazine of the American Academy of Actuaries:</p>

<blockquote>
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.</blockquote>
