Obama elaborates on his criticism of McCain's suggestion, buried in an actuarial industry publication, that health care be deregulated, like banking. As McCain's aides pointed out yesterday, McCain had been narrowly referring to abolishing a patchwork of state regulations, not national regulation. But those state health care regulations and mandates, though cumbersome, are also popular, and Obama today engages him on that front in a Charlotte, N.C., speech.
And here’s the really scary part. Now this “Great Deregulator” wants to turn his attention to health care.
He wrote in the current issue of a magazine — the current issue — that we need to open up health care to — quote — “more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking.”
That’s right, John McCain says he wants to do for health care what Washington has done for banking.
