Sen. John McCain, in Charlotte yesterday with Sens. Richard Burr and Mitch Turtle McConnell for an invitation-only GOP health care discussion, said Congress needs to slow down in its quest for an improved health care system. But of course he did. McCain is 73 years old he probably thinks everything should slow down: Congress, drivers, his heart rate, those spots that keep zooming in and out of his vision, you name it. Its ridiculous, but that seems to be the sum total of congressional Republicans insight into health care reform now: slow down.
No, senators, lets not slow down. In fact, lets speed this thing up. That way, perhaps not too many more people will die from lack of health insurance before a bill is enacted. Pres. Truman brought up national health insurance in 1948, and the GOPs reaction was, Whoa, slow down! That was more than 60 years ago, and its the same old story. Sixty years is long enough to slow down the drive to universal health care. McCain, McConnell and um, whos the guy from North Carolina again? oh yeah, Burr, those guys just need to get out of the way.
