Dear Senator McCain, Thanks for the Material — Please Keep it Coming

As Joe Sudbay points out, Barack Obama es en fuego:

Obama’s roll is due in large part to the material being provided by John McCain.  Over the last few days, McCain seems to have added wicked bad timing to his repertoire of Bush devotion, anger, economic ignorance and unadulterated bullshit.

Take it away, Paul Krugman:

OK, a correspondent directs me to John McCain’s article, Better Health Care at Lower Cost for Every American, in the Sept./Oct. issue of Contingencies, the magazine of the American Academy of Actuaries. You might want to be seated before reading this.

Here’s what McCain has to say about the wonders of market-based health reform:

Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.

So McCain, who now poses as the scourge of Wall Street, was praising financial deregulation like 10 seconds ago – and promising that if we marketize health care, it will perform as well as the financial industry!
