WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican Senator John McCain said on Tuesday night he believed an overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system was possible this year after President Barack Obama called for such a timetable.

In his speech to a joint session of the U.S. Congress, Obama said that due to rising costs, revamping the healthcare system "must not wait, and it will not wait another year."

McCain, who is a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, said in an interview after the speech that he felt an accord was reachable this year.

"I do think it's possible, because I think that the inflation associated with healthcare is so severe, as the president correctly stated, it's affecting all of our economy," said McCain, who lost to Obama in last November's presidential election.

"Certainly a lot of us are eager to work with the president on that issue," he said.

Hey McCain & Obamasiah, here’s one way you might consider overhauling the Health Care system in the U.S. - STOP GIVING OUR HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS FOR SERVICES TO ILLEGAL ALIENS.

"I do think it's possible, because I think that the inflation associated with healthcare is so severe, as the president correctly stated, it's affecting all of our economy," said McCain

As bad as Obama is, I'm at least a bit pleased that the fool McCain wasn't elected.

If McCain thinks health care is expensive and unfair now, wait until it's free and the government is deciding who gets what treatments.

Everyone could afford good health care before the Gubmint got into it with medicare. Now many health specialists are little more than pill dispensers, and they charge a fortune. If you want to see a once noble profession go totally down the tubes, just sign on with universal health care. Anyone close to social security age will be denied care, or Dr. Korkoran will be called in.

The American people had better get on their knees before the Almighty. Turn off the tv and pick up your Bibles, people, or Satan will raally be having a hayday!

Certainly a lot of us are eager to work with the president on that issue

What the @#$#@ hell is wrong with this moron?
