We should not be worried about John McCain’s recommendation to tax benefits. With Congress being predominiately democrats, they are going to have their own agenda for healthcare reform. What I am worried about is the Obama platform of health care for all. While we certainly need to revamp the healthcare system, a universal system (like Canada) would tax our current healthcare system since we would have a shortage of doctors, nurses and hospitals to accommodate an an increase of 46 million to the healthcare system. I can see a waiting list of six months for heart surgery or 18 months for a hip replacement. It happens. Talk to our neighbors up in Canada and they will tell you. It would also provide a huge tax increase during a time when many people are losing their jobs. And we all know how efficiently a government run system would work. Just look at Social Security, Medicare and the VA. We need to revamp but we need to make sure that Washington does it prudently without causing additional hardships for the citizens of this great country.
