The web site, Women for John McCain is reporting the details of his proposed health care plan. This is particularly relevant in light of the unanimous call among Democrats for Universal Health Care at their convention this week.

Women for John McCain...

The Dallas Morning News today reports details of the McCain health care plan, boldly undercutting the Obama campaign’s proposal of “health insurance for every American”.

Mr. Goodman, who helped craft Sen. John McCain’s health care policy, said anyone with access to an emergency room effectively has insurance, albeit the government acts as the payer of last resort. (Hospital emergency rooms by law cannot turn away a patient in need of immediate care.)

“So I have a solution. And it will cost not one thin dime,” Mr. Goodman said. “The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American – even illegal aliens – as uninsured…”

“So, there you have it. Voila! Problem solved.”

Of course, McCain's plan does not account for the fact that you can be, and will be, billed for those services. And in addition, your wages can be attached to pay those bills and you can't declare bankruptcy to dismiss those bills. But that's just me looking at the dark side.
