Voila! Uninsured problem solved by not counting them

John McCain's health adviser John Goodman in the Dallas Morning News on solving the problem of the uninsured:Jcgoodman

"So I have a solution. And it will cost not one thin dime," Mr. Goodman said. "The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American – even illegal aliens – as uninsured. Instead, the bureau should categorize people according to the likely source of payment should they need care.

"So, there you have it. Voila! Problem solved."

Impressive. McCain could work for the insurance industry.

But then I suppose he already is, along, I expect, with most of Congress and even most members of state legislatures, going by my experiences in this area.
