“Apparently”, John Goodman, a McCain adviser who helped write the candidate’s health care plan, has had the solution for the health care crisis in this country all this time: we need to get better numbers on who is insured and who is not.
“So I have a solution [to the health care crisis]. And it will cost not one thin dime,” John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, told the Dallas Morning News in an interview published Thursday.
“The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American – even illegal aliens – as uninsured. Instead, the bureau should categorize people according to the likely source of payment should they need care. So, there you have it. Voila! Problem solved.”
“So instead of producing worthless statistics that people fling around in vacuous editorials and pointless debates, the Census Bureau should produce meaningful numbers, identifying all of the sources of funds people will draw on if they need medical care,” said Goodman, who helped write McCain’s health care plan.
You’ve got to wonder if this man has ever stopped from going to the emergency room for himself or his children, because he would not be able to afford to pay for it afterward. What a shame for someone who is advising a public “servant” to think like this. What a tragedy. Very out of touch with the sufferings of the people they are supposedly trying to serve.
