McCain Opposes Health Insurance Mandate

Sen. McCain said he does not support outlawing the “cherry-picking” that some health plans do to make certain they insure mostly healthy people. Outlawing cherry-picking “would be mandating what the free enterprise system does and that would be obviously something that I would not approve of.” Instead, he favored broadening the high-risk pools that states use to provide coverage for some of their uninsured residents.

'We should be paying … the doctor a certain set amount of money … related to overall care and results.' SEN. MCCAIN
