O.K., Peregrine, I’ll bite. Let’s eliminate Medicaid, which pays for over 50% of nursing home expenses (to qualify you have to be broke). That’s why the seniors will have to consider assisted suicide. The program is insolvent anyway. But at least their taxes will go down. Oh, right, they don’t have any income. No one wants to pay $90,000 per for a nursing home. What’s McCain’s solution for this problem?
Obama’s Health plan Model is already collapsing and this was only State wide…do you really think that Americans will continue to pay Private Health Insurance when the Government is subsidizing coverage available to all that ask?
PS: By the way Dtridel, your post before your last one, not nice.
Just trying to call attention to the social problem many are struggling with now and most will, eventually. What are we going to do with all these people with limited means (in a nursing home, modest life savings are eaten up in a year or two) and no insurance?

Keep dreaming, Mach – I’m arranging a business trip so I can vote at home instead of by mail-in ballot, after what the Bushies did in 2000…

Every vote counts. Even yours. That is no joking matter.

If McCain gets elected those seniors better hope they die soon.

Oh yeah, Ricko - in a perfect world, Greg Palast would be in the chair that, say, David Brooks currently incubates.
