I do too. He missed a lot of these, sadly. So many people will buy into this because they cannot see beyond their noses.

McCain's $5,000 tax credit for health insurance sounds like a good alternative for those who know government bureaucracies could never provide competent healthcare. We'd ultimately pay a premium anyway to get quality care. Here's Michelle Malkin's take on the debate. She says McCain should ask Joe the Plumber to join him on the campaign trail: Debate wrap-up: Senator Government vs. Johnny Mac and Joe the Plumber By Michelle Malkin • October 15, 2008 No, there weren’t any knockout punches. But John McCain was still standing at the end of the night — doubts about his fortitude adequately quelled — and Barack Obama ought to be wiping the smirk he borrowed from Joe Biden off his face. Joe Wurzelbacher the Plumber was a heaven-sent gift for the McCain campaign, and for once, McCain didn’t flub the opportunity to rub the infamous “spread the wealth around” line in Obama’s smug face. Obama’s tin-ear response? Citing his billionaire “friend” Warren Buffett! Alas, Ayers and ACORN receded into the background. But McCain brought the education debate to the present and spotlighted Obama’s anti-school choice policies that render him woefully out of touch with increasing numbers of minority families. The best line of the night may have been unplanned (or maybe not)? In jabbing Obama’s spend-spend-spend plans, McCain called him “Senator Government.” “Senator Government.” It’s a fitting moniker for the Democrat candidate who spent the whole night talking about “investing” other people’s money. Perfect. McCain ought to call him that from now until Nov. 4. And someone from the McCain camp better have Joe’s phone number and arrange a joint appearance pronto. Joe made Senator Government squirm. Let’s see more. Better late than never.

This whole debate on health care insurance could possibly be addressed with one simple piece of legislation. Pass a law requiring insurance companies to not use a pre-existing condition in determining whether or not to insure a person. That would take away a lot of fear and allow a person to shop for the insurance based upon what they cover. Obama's government plan would take in more people and at the same time increase the size of the beauracracy. This is the cost that McCain/Palin need to focus on----the increased cost of a beauracracy to take over the work of the private sector. Each person hired by the government creates another position that requires salary and benefits to be paid by the government------ending with more taxes paid by someone ---know you get the picture. mj
