It was a common theme at the 7th Annual Employee Benefit Adviser Summit in Phoenix this week that no matter who wins the presidential election in November, changes are forthcoming for benefit plans and administration. According to political activist and commentator Meghan McCain, should President Barack Obama keep his job, changes will be coming for the Republican Party as well.
Speaking in her hometown on the 11th anniversary of Sept. 11, McCain voiced support for the war in Afghanistan and urged health care reform unlike that currently underway. Citing the media flap over female contraception coverage and the furor over gay marriage as specific examples, McCain lamented the lack of civility in public discourse and said that in some ways the GOP doomed itself in 2008 when her father, Sen. John McCain, made an unsuccessful bid at the Oval Office.
