Using the ancient medical adage -- 'First, do no harm,' The New England Journal of Medicine today points out numerous ways that the McCain health care plan will harm citizens' ability to have good health care at a reasonable cost.
"The choice facing health care professionals, like all Americans, is basic: Who deserves to be trusted with the stewardship of America's health care system? The McCain proposal violates the bedrock principle that major health policy reforms should first do no harm. It would risk the viability of employer-sponsored insurance and the welfare of chronically ill Americans in pell-mell pursuit of a radical vision of consumer-driven health care. Senator McCain's plan does not demonstrate the kind of judgment needed in a potential commander in chief of our health care system."
