Senator McCain,
If I were a federal employee in Pennsylvania I could obtain health insurance coverage for my family via the government for under $100 a month*. If the government didn't contribute, and I was responsible for the entire cost, I could still obtain coverage for under $300 a month. As it stands, because of preexisting conditions, and as a small business owner, to cover my family with simply catastrophic coverage and a high deductable would cost me over $1000 a month.
My question Mr. McCain is why are you opposed to letting people purchase health care through a governmental program just as you yourself do, since doing so would immediately save me over $700 a month, which I could use to reinvest in my company and in my family, and in our country?
