8 Reasons to Oppose John McCain #7

Bullet points:

• John McCain does not believe that health insurance is a right deserved by all Americans. He calls it a "responsibility".
  
• John McCain's health care plan would tax employer provided health care benefits, eroding the employer-based health care system through which most Americans receive their insurance.
• John McCain would not require insurance companies to insure those with pre-existing conditions.
• John McCain supported President Bush's veto of the expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
• McCain said, "Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation." Yes, John McCain wants to make our health insurance industry more like our banking industry.
  
• John McCain's plan does nothing to get us towards the goal of universal health insurance.
