McCain: Gov. Health Care Good For Me, Not For Thee

Although I was distracted by McCain's weird facial ticks and creepy smile/laugh, the actual substance of his answers is what's really alarming. Obviously he hasn't seen SICKO yet.


So McCain has enjoyed a lifetime of U.S. government provided health care, but he thinks that health care is Bad and you shouldn't get it. For all his trash talk about Canada and England, I think those countries are actually quite happy with their health care systems. You don't see folks going into bankruptcy over health care bills, you don't see people dying because insurance companies don't approve needed care. And let's not talk about France, which probably has the best health care system of all.

No, McCain thinks government health care is bad because the Vietnamese military didn't provide him the best health care when he was a prisoner of war. The monumental stupidity of such an assessment is mind-boggling. He is saying that all government-run health care is bad because the Vietnamese-run health care for American POWs was bad.

What next? He'll say that all foreign food is horrible because the slop fed to him by the Vietnamese was horrible? Or maybe he'll say that all Asians are vindictive evil people because the Vietnamese prison guards were vindictive and evil. It's a terribly illogical argument.

Anyway, as nyceve says here, don't expect any real healthcare reform if McCain is elected president.
