McCain is certainly out of touch on health care. I find most Americans are out of touch with reality as well with respect to health care. Too many think health care is something that the government should be paying for or that their employer should cover so that they dont have to make any changes in their lifestyle. Do you have cable TV? Cell phones, dinner out quite a bit? My older son graduated college and we went over this quite carefully. Whats the difference between health insurance and a medical plan. I For $55 a month he has a $5,000 deductible and a $1,000,000 maximum coverage. He still cant appreciate that he has to pay for any visit more or less until he has over $5K in expenses. But what about a care wreck? Fall off of a bicycle? Appendicitis. So now when the government steps in with universal health care you get the same problem, people dont even expect to have to pay the first few grand a year for basic coverage. If you give zero deductible you wont get an appointment for a year, no doubt. People need to learn that smoking and being fat is going to lower your standard of living. I vote for a big "sin tax" on cigarettes, fast food and snack foods.
