McCain Doesn't Require Health Care

So I was reviewing the political campaigns and read an article today on McCain who is the republican hopeful. All around I am for universal health care! After reading this article though I kind of understood where he was coming from. In the article he stated that he would not force people to have insurance, just like he wouldn't force owning a house, or getting an education. He instead would just make it more affordable for people who want it to get it. You know I never though that someone wouldn't want health care but apparently their are people out their who don't. My boss for examples feel it is a frivolous waste of money she rarely gets sick and when she does she rather just pay the bill, and she would hate having to pay higher taxes and be forced to have it. Which was McCain's point he thought it would be not in the best light to raise taxes in order to mandate health insurance. He also stated that he would like doctors to get paid by how much time they spend to treat patients rather than how many tests they order! You know after reading his view and ideas it made me wonder a little bit. I am still all for universal health care but I also think cheaper health care and not raising taxes sounds beneficial also!! I wonder how others feel about this area? Brittany
