Americans all deserve good health care that they can afford! I don't understand how Republicans can be so selfish, where is your humanity? I don't want to see anyone struggling worrying about going to the doctor because they may not be able to afford it or have no health care!
That's the complete opposite of what he is saying here at
JohnMcCain.com - McCain-Palin 2008 (http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/issues/ - broken link)
MEDICAID AND MEDICARE: Reforming The Payment System To Cut Costs. We must reform the payment systems in Medicaid and Medicare to compensate providers for diagnosis, prevention and care coordination. Medicaid and Medicare should not pay for preventable medical errors or mismanagement.
Bringing costs under control is the only way to stop the erosion of affordable health insurance, save Medicare and Medicaid, protect private health benefits for retirees, and allow our companies to effectively compete around the world.
If McCain et al think that by elimiating payment for preventable medical errors or mismangement they can save a big bundle, they're wrong. Health care providers are not a bunch of bumbling idiots! "Preventable" error is sometimes in the eye of the beholder. The only other thing I've seen in McCain's plan that concretely speaks to decreasing costs is neotiating for lower drug prices, which I fully support. But everything else "new treatment modalities", etc, is just words, like Maverick.
That's true, but it IS a great way to save on healthcare. I wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't helpful to a lot of people.
Sorry, just trying to help
No that's okay.. I understand
I have shopped and shopped one of them. It was not exactly Ameriplan it was called a mini med plan. It is great for younger people that are healthy. Not so great for individuals that are older or have chronic illnesses (even though they are guaranteed issue). The lifetime and yearly max are REALLY low that one illness or surgery could very well leave you capping at the lifetime max.
It's pretty much equivelent to being uninsured.. but is certainly better than nothing.

lol, I think you might want to visit that site and read more, because you're a little off about the whole "equivelent to being uninsured" thing.
It was a typo..sorry.. I meant underinsured.
