Mr. McCain, a Republican from Arizona, said on the CBS news program “Face the Nation” that President Obama should sit down with Republican leaders and begin adopting some of their ideas for improving the nation’s health care system such as overhauling medical malpractice lawsuits, allowing residents of one state to buy health insurance from a company in another state, and granting tax credits for people who purchase health insurance on their own.

I see. So you're opposed to:

1. tort reform (medical malpractice)
2. cross-State purchasing of health insurance (like we do with life, property, auto)
3. allowing self-employed/self-insured people the same tax benefits as companies (deduction of insurance expenses)

I guess those offend you? Or is it that John McCain suggested this eminently sensible reforms?

I’m no fan of McCain, but it looks like he’s suggesting Obama-style bipartisanship here. In other words, agree with our point of view or go pound sand. As you point out, these are all conservative ideas. There’s no way any Democrat would actually do that, but it’s fun to try.
