McCain Offers Medical Plan for the Wealthy - Satire...kinda
http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i21424

Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain said this weekend that he is working on a health care reform proposal that will ensure quality medical care for the rich and powerful.

"We must ensure that the wealthiest Americans have access to quality medical care", McCain said in a statement. "The good health of the wealthy is essential to a vibrant and healthy economy!"

McCain pointed out that many CEO's and Top Level Managers at most Fortune 500 companies suffer from hypertension, diabetes, arthritis or poor eyesight. In addition, many retired CEO's are forced to abandon their golf games because of heart disease, liver trouble or kidney disease.

"I have heard that many wealthy Americans are falling prey to alcohol abuse, poor diets, lack of exercise and aging", McCain continued. "We must have a health care policy that ensures top quality medical care, access to free health clubs and, when needed, round-the-clock nursing care."

Republican members of Congress praised McCain's proposal. San Diego Congressman Duncan Hunter said, "It's about time someone gave a damn about the rich in this country.
