Obama and Health-Care Equity
For someone running as the tribune of “change,”Barack Obama showed again in last night’s debate that he sure is comfortable with the status quo on health care. He continued his recent assaults on John McCain’s health reform even though it is precisely the kind of plan that someone of Mr. Obama’s professed convictions ought to support.
The attacks include swing-state TV spots and Joe Biden’s multiple distortions, though the most over-the-top come from the candidate himself. Over the weekend, Mr. Obama called the McCain plan “radical,” “out of line with our basic values” and, in case he wasn’t clear, “catastrophic for your health care.” Since Mr. McCain offered only a once-over-lightly defense of his plan, allow us to give it a try.
