Elizabeth Edwards says she and John McCain have one thing in common: "Neither one of us would be covered by his health policy." True enough. McCain's health care plan would let insurers continue to discriminate against preexisting conditions, and melanoma, which McCain has had, and breast cancer, which Edwards has, would be more than reason enough to deny coverage. Sure is lucky for John McCain then that he has government health insurance, where his premiums are community rated and insurers can't turn him down. Watching him tout "the best health care system in the world" and then propose reforms that have nothing to do with the government health care he's aways known is like watching a fat man eat a cake, praise the cake, loudly proclaim that everybody should try his cake, and then offer you some celery. In any case, nice to see that Elizabeth Edwards is still laying the smack down. We need her!
