McCain-icare Part D

Rejecting calls for universal healthcare from his Democratic counterparts, John McCain released his free market healthcare alternative earlier this evening.

Mirroring Medicare Part D, McCain’s plan relies more upon individual customization of coverage while reducing government regulation.

McCain’s plan encourages individuals to move away from their employers coverage by offering tax rebates of up to $5,000. The Arizona senator believes that, left to their own devices, families will be able to better customize their coverage to suit their individual needs. McCain’s stance promises to be a hot button topic during the general election this fall, if the Democrats ever select a nominee.  In this case, it is at least a legitimate issue for McCain to wrangle with as opposed to the shallow cat calls about McCain's own age like he needs to invest in the best anti wrinkle cream campaign money can buy.
