Mr. McCain has been gracious enough to abandon some of his vagueness concerning health insurance/care in an interview with reporter Andy Post.

To place the true perspective, we might note that any serious problem that befalls nearly 50 million Americans (almost 1 of every 5 of us) is also a serious problem for our nation as a whole. One person not having health insurance when facing ill health is a serious problem. When almost 50 million Americans are left without health insurance it should become a top priority.

Mr. Post takes a few ‘editorial’ liberties here by stating that Mr. McCain’s health insurance/care policies are similar to Mr. Obama’s. When Journalism 101 explains that ‘not all readers’ judgments are your own’, they are suggesting that a vast majority of the audience may strongly disagree with that statement. They may feel that ‘implementing the ability for ‘all Americans to have adequate health insurance’ is in stark opposition to a mere Band-Aid, which purports that it is not the President’s direct responsibility to seriously attend to 45.7 million Americans who are destitute of health insurance.
