The health care plan advocated by presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is hazardous to your health.
- October 14, 2008 - 11:12amThe phenomenal financial crash of the past few weeks has hammered home what should be common sense: A free market needs reasonable rules that safeguard the public interest. So why would we accept the conservative argument that we should use that recipe for disaster to reform an already failing health-care system?

Long before anyone had been nominated or elected, the voters of 2008 had gotten one message across loud and clear: Fix our dysfunctional health care system! For obvious reasons (and big reasons that aren't so obvious), the leaders of 2009 must heed that call.

This year Americans want to talk about health care – and most of us want to talk about covering the uninsured and reducing the costs of health care – but often what we get from the media is just cynical double talk. Case in point: a column by Robert Samuelson in the September 10 Washington Post and this week’s Newsweek.

Sen. John McCain's health care plan is a dangerous fraud. It will dismantle the employer-provided system that now covers about 158 million Americans and will force millions of workers to fend for themselves in a market controlled by unregulated and predatory insurance companies. His plan would drive health care costs upward, not downward.

Mandates were also a central issue in last night's Democratic Party debate, with Sen. Hillary Clinton backing them and Sen. Barack Obama opposed. It was one of the few points of contention in an otherwise cordial faceoff.
For the record: I'm opposed to mandates for two reasons. First and foremost, they're bad politics.
