How is this about McCain? How is this about a lack of healthcare?

This article is not about healthcare. At all.

But, I'll play along.

I'm GLAD it's not passing on a federal level, and I'm GLAD states are saying, "no thanks" to unfunded mandates.

Government is going to tell private businesses how they can be run?

Screw that. Take that socialist nonsense somewhere else.

If those workers don't like the benefits package their employer offers, they can brush up their resume.

Americans who gripe about health care becoming unaffordable to many can take some solace in this. As they may be aware, the National Health Service (NHS) of the United Kingdom provides free health care to all British citizens. Sounds like a pretty good deal? Well, not so much if you’re waiting for elective surgery, or have a non-emergency medical condition.

If you’re a British citizen in need of dental care, having your teeth pulled can be painful in more ways than one. Falling numbers of state dentists in England has led to some people taking extreme measures, including extracting their own teeth. Others have used superglue to stick crowns back on, rather than paying a bomb for private treatment. One person spoke of carrying out 14 separate extractions on himself with pliers.

A lack of publicly-funded dentists means that growing numbers go private. In a study carried out by members of England's Patient and Public Involvement Forums, 78% of private patients said they were there because they could not find a National Health Service (NHS) dentist, and only 15% because of better treatment.

This sort of reminds me of those old cartoons, where a guy tied a string around a rotten tooth and the other end to a door, which he asked his pal to jerk open – except that I don’t think the former would find it funny.

Ah more law to cripple small business. If this passes, you'll see a lot more go under. Suddenly 10 employees get 7 days each. So 70 days, or 560 hours of pay to people who didn't work. So that's $4060. And that is not including all the fees business owners pay in order to pay people.

How is this about McCain?

I think he was all aroused by this.

Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, supports the legislation.

Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, opposes employer mandates, particularly when the economy is slowing, his campaign said. It did not address the pending federal legislation.

I think he was all aroused by this.

Exactly.

And, as usual, has nothing to back up his contention.

Sorry Howard, I'm a small business owner.

And aside from paying my taxes (which I do faithfully) the Feds can stay the hell out of my office.

More and more garbage, more and more failure.

You know, you always say you worry about us rural people who apparently don't get the news you do, at least according to you. I have to tell you though, I worry about you and the news you get and how you come up with anything you have to say about it.
