IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor's Business Daily -- McCain To Rescue Of ObamaCare?: "Health Care: 'First, do no harm' is never the maxim of Washington politicians. With a public uprising killing ObamaCare, Sen. John McCain wants 'to sit down with the president' and resuscitate it."
At a town hall in Sun City, Ariz., on Tuesday, the defeated Republican presidential nominee displayed a chart featuring some good health care reform ideas. They included tort reform to reduce the $200 billion a year added to health costs thanks to medical malpractice awards; a sizable tax credit to pay for insurance; and allowing Americans to cross state lines to purchase the health insurance of their choice.
There seems to be a disconnect in McCain's head, however, between getting good reforms and what he knows the Democrats will do as the majority. McCain described himself as "very worried" about and "unalterably opposed" to using budget reconciliation rules to ram through reform. Such a ploy would take away Republican senators' right to filibuster.
