One day I will put together an entire list of how out of touch John McCain is with the average American, but this rant for today will suffice.
Yesterday after leaving the Mayo Clinic to have a small spot removed from his face John McCain chose to give America a lecture on using sun screen and called for all Americans to see their dermatologist regularly. Wouldn't that be nice Sen. McCain, but there is one problem. Not all Americans have access to a dermatologist and not everyone can see one when they need to.
According to a recent study, "Overall acceptance rates were similar for patients with Medicare (85%) and private insurance (87%), but were much lower for those with Medicaid (32%)." Furthermore the study concluded that "Among patients whose insurance was accepted, mean wait times for patients with Medicare and private insurance were 37 days, but patients with Medicaid experienced significant queuing (50 days)."
So Senator McCain, when you are learning about the economy from Ms. Fiorina, perhaps you should also find a prominent republican physician like Sen. Frist to help you understand the real America that is struggling with not only gas prices but also the cost and delivery of medical services.
