Wake up and read McCains bill to improve healthcare in Mexico

Here's a tidbit of the story....might I suggest you take a seat before you read it because you're going to fall down with disbelief....and guess what? MSM isn't saying a word about it...nope...notta....not a peep!


Unbelievable as it may seem, the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005 contained a provision giving insurance companies the right to help devise a plan for extending US health care to Mexico (Sec. 1004. BINATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE AND HEALTH INSURANCE).

Even more unbelievable, the senator who sponsored the bill is not on the verge of being thrown out of office for this odious piece of legislation. No, the senator who introduced the bill, Senator John McCain of Arizona, is on the verge of locking up the Republican nomination to be our next president.

Damn! How come you didn’t know that before you voted for John McCain on Tuesday, you ask?

You’ve been watching the all-day-every-day TV news coverage of the primaries.

You’ve been reading your local newspaper’s daily coverage of the races for the parties’ nominations.

You are an above-average-informed voter.

You know that

* large majorities of young people and black people support Barack Obama,
* a majority of white women over the age of 40 support Hillary Clinton,
* a majority of Christian evangelicals support Mike Huckabee,
* John McCain’s Republican supporters are moderates,
* Barack Obama has doubled his support among southern white males since South Carolina,
* Mitt Romney has financed much of his own campaign,
* Iowa is lily-white,
* Fox News cable television didn’t have enough room in its studio to include Republican candidate Ron Paul in a debate between the Republican candidates it televised,
* Republicans hope Hillary wins,
* McCain is the only Republican who can win in November, and everyone, even Democrats, respects his history as a POW,
* Rudy Giuliani’s strategy to skip the first few primaries and focus on Florida was a bad one,
* Oprah Winfrey supports Barack Obama, and not just because he’s African-American,
* Arnold Schwarzenegger supports John McCain, but his wife supports Barack Obama,
* Robert DeNiro supports Barack Obama because Obama makes him "believe,"
* Ron Paul raised a record amount of money one day a couple of months ago,
* large majorities of Latinos support Hillary Clinton,
* Mitt Romney unhiply riffed on "Who Let the Dogs Out," and
* the top vote-getting position for an American presidential candidate this year is to be for "change."

But you didn’t know that the only clear front-runner in the race to be our next president proposed, in the last session of congress, a bi-national health care system to be devised by insurance companies. To be devised by insurance companies, for crying out loud.
