I brought up McCain because McCain has proposed individual healthcare for those the insurance companies want to cover, which wouldn't be the person who lays out his tale of woe, and government run healthcare for people like him when the insurance companies refused to cover him.
What I find intriging is your view that the US is too large to provide healthcare for everyone. Is that because you think there is a limit on the number of insurance companies?
Or do you think that if insurance companies were required to offer at least one policy that provided a basic minimum of care to everyone who applied with no denial for any reason at all, and the only basis for competition between companies was their level of service and their policy price, all insurance companies would stop offering coverage?

Where are the uninsured going to get the money to pay for the basic plan?
Where is the money going to come from to pay for Universal Health care.
Simple, your taxes and my taxes.
We have people like fedup who don't pay taxes and others who don't pay taxes.
The basic plan would only cover so many points.
McCain has been off the "regular" Tricare for life program for a long time and he's oblivious to it's deficiencies.
