Thread Name: BS: The liberal media bias...
Subject: RE: BS: The liberal nedia bias...
Dick, was "nedia" a deliberate misspelling? I figured it might be since they are all so needy!:-) I'd like to hear some explanations, too.

McCain's article in the American Actuary something or other which talks about what he'd do for health care, may be read HERE. Bottom of the first page, first column, continued at the top of the second column, he's got some "interesting" things to say about opening up health care insurance, the way "we have done over the last decade in banking." Some of that has been quoted in the media, today.

Can someone answer for me why in the aitch any of these guys think giving families a tax break of five thousand is going to help them "buy their own health insurance?" Most families I know don't HAVE a spare five thousand to spend on anything but basics. A tax break of any kind is just going to mean money for gas, food, maybe some clothes for the kids,maybe some long needed repairs of some kind, but it's not going to be enough to get health insurance, esp. if a person has to fork out from their paycheck and wait for the tax credit in the spring. It just boggles my mind how they think this is a solution. We need socialised medicine NOT socialised Wall Street!


Barack Obama's article on health care may be read HERE. It's much easier to read, imo, and makes more sense. At least he addresses the fact that some people will not be able to buy insurance without subsidies.

Sorry, Dick, I didn't mean to go off, but there was the liberal media going off on McCan't again and his unhealth plan!
