Regular readers know that we discuss health care related issues from time to time. Even though I believe that the winning the new world war is the first order of business for the president, I acknowledge that rising health-care costs are something almost as important for many people, including me. The dangers posed by a Democrat White House win in November are almost as stark in the health care "solutions" they present as they are in surrendering the war. Does anybody think a retreat from a socialistic health care system, once in place will be easy, or even doable at all? Once we nationalize some sizeable chunk of our economy, will other pieces be far behind?
This YouTube video shows Republican candidate John McCain discussing health care in America, how we should tackle the specific problem of chronic disease, options we should consider as we look to fund long-term problems, and market incentives to keep costs down. He even mentions walk-in care centers. Hopefully he means the type that we have long favored here at the ‘Grok.
Once again, Senator McCain demostrates that when you consider the actual facts of what the candidates represent, and the specifics of their offerings, there is a huge difference between the candidates. McCain calls for "outcome-based treatment" controlled by families–NOT the government. I like that!
