“With less than a month to go, presidential candidate Barack Obama wants to deliver a knock-out punch by hitting John McCain on healthcare. On Saturday Mr. Obama called his rival’s healthcare proposal ‘radical’ and, in swing states, he is now blasting it in TV ads. … It’s good politics for Mr. Obama. But it’s bad policy. Mr. McCain’s proposal — to give every American the tax credit businesses get for buying health insurance — is the right prescription for what ails our healthcare system. The foundation of that system — employer provided health insurance — is crumbling. … Today, 59% of Americans get their health insurance through the workplace. Twenty years ago, three-quarters of us did. With costs skyrocketing … the current path we are on is not sustainable.” [editor’s note: Which is precisely why we keep saying that this is the ONLY thing McClown gets right in this campaign - SAT] (10/07/08)
