One size fits all seems to work for the elected officials. Why can't the american public have the same fine health care?

Like I've said before...it is so easy to portray yourself as a self sufficient man when you get 250,000 a year from the taxpayers in salary and pensions, plus cheap great healthcare most of us don't have, plus a congressional pension and to top it off a filthy rich wife with a free jet...man we should all be 'making it on our own' like john mcbush is...uh huh

Nothing like being a hypocrite, huh John?

Try fixing the VA system first, then maybe you can tackle national health care.

Xenophobia, homophobia and religious intolerance is apparently the campaign platform some have chosen to run on now.

McCain should explain why his "spiritual adviser", Parsley has said "The fact is that America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion [Islam] destroyed, and I believe September 11, 2001, was a generational call to arms that we can no longer ignore."

McCain should explain why he has defended comments by Hagee who has said the Catholic church is 'The Great prostitute,' the 'apostate church,' the 'anti-Christ' and a 'false cult system'. Hagee has said Katrina was God's punishment of America for the sin of homosexuality.

First McCain should explain himself before he starts questioning somebody else's faith.

Clinton needs to explain her comments about Wright since here own paster says she is wrong about Wright. Perhaps she should now "walk out" of her own church.

Clinton needs to explain why her husband invited Wright to the white house during the height of the Monica L scandal to a "prayer" breakfast.

What a fool!...my friends. His rhetoric is suited to the 1940's, not to 21st century America that has little respect globally, a constantly growing rich-poor gap, a foreign policy based on fear, etc, etc.

This is the same John McCain who continually whines about "earmarks" here in the U.S. but has said nothing, nothing about the following:

Investigators: U.S. government has falsely described projects as complete.
2:53 a.m. PT, Mon., April. 28, 2008
WASHINGTON - Millions of dollars of lucrative Iraq reconstruction contracts were never finished because of excessive delays, poor performance or other factors, including failed projects that are being falsely described by the U.S. government as complete, federal investigators say.
The audit released Sunday by Stuart Bowen Jr., the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, provides the latest snapshot of an uneven reconstruction effort that has cost U.S. taxpayers more than $100 billion.

Instead McCain wants to continue Bush's War indefinitely while extending Bush's Tax Cuts to the wealthy - with no plan whatsoever on how to pay for the war. Bush and McCain both decry "earmarks" as the reason government spending is out of control. But it's THEIR war that is out of control . Conservatives should be outraged by this continuing scandal. Their labeling of Democarats as the "tax and spend" party is 30 years out of date. The Republicans, under GW Bush and John McCain love to perpetuate the lie, but they are the real spenders, without oversight and without accountability. No money for health care, infrastructure, education, New Orleans etc, but more than 100 billion for the money pit known as Bush's Iraq. John McCain wants to attach his name to the same failed company.

McCain complains that health care is too expensive yet he only offers more of the same privatized medical ripoff. As with the economy McCain has shown he does not understand health care.

Go Obama!

Let's talk about McCain's spiritual advisers next! Oh, I forgot, the media is owned by big business and they want to get rid of Obama right? And Americans will listen to this and believe everything they hear like usual. . .

He'll get a pass....the media will be obsessing over Wright up until about, say, Thursday.

My solution to the healthcare cost crisis, my friends, is to let the rich do what they've already done, and will always do---screw over the consumer, my friends, so what I'm proposing, my friends, is the sameoldsameold Let-the-rich-have-it solutions, my friends, while I let the people who are REALLY "my friends" fly me around to my campaign stops for free! Sound fair to you...my friends?

What a cheap hypocrite Old John is - attacking the notion of government run healthcare when he and his fathers before him have been using it all their lives. (Surprizing that he's still alive, isn't it?) Then to attack Obama for his link with Rev. Wright while he takes support from the likes of Hagee. And for a rousing finish, pushes for campaign finance reform, yet jets all over the country on wifey-poo's company jet, and answers a reporter's question regarding that fact with a typical Bush brush-off that it's perfectly legal, period, end of story.

But he didn't say ANYTHING about how he does plan to fix the health care system. The only thing he did was shoot down the only viable option for improvement.

At the close of his comments on health care, McCain turned to his wife, Cindy, and said, "I wet myself again, dear...please change my Depends?" Afterwards, McCain ran to a patch of dirt and began to dig a fox hole, when he mistook a Chinese food deliveryman as Viet Cong.

Unfortunately mcbush is pretty much getting a free pass from the press, at least as long as the ego contest between Clinton and Obama drags on. Fortunately anyone paying attention can see that mcbush is a total fraud and has absolutely nothing to offer.

Campaign of Contradictions...yes..this describes McCains positions and actions. Thanks for pointing those out Brian, Cedar Hill.

Some of the ideas to have a uniform electronic information system for medical records isn't new. It would be helpful to have a uniform system that cuts down on paperwork and mistakes. Beyond that, I don't think that McCain really knows what to talk about. Health savings accounts only work for those that are wealthy and have a good idea of what is medically nececcary. For the rest of us without a medical background, this isn't enough. McCain's plan and understanding are insufficient to say the least.

I agree with Selina from Delaware.
To add All of us Americans need to have the same healthcare as our congress members and we should get it at the same price too. Will McCain agree to that?

His wife has a plane. The Clintons have 2 multi-million dollar mansions-one has its own name and staff. And Sen. Obama and arugula are ELITIST.
