McCain’s Health Care Proposals

McCain’s Health Care Proposals

Making a Bad Problem Worse

As part of an extensive campaign to educate voters, SEIU released a review of John McCain's disastrous health care proposals in May.

As the research shows, McCain's ideas for health care would actually make obtaining coverage more difficult for the average working family and cause health care costs to increase for millions of hardworking Americans.

The McCain plan would:

• Discourage employers from providing coverage and leave workers to fend for themselves in the individual market – resulting in more than 48 million uninsured Americans.
• Jeopardize quality care standards by allowing companies to bypass patient protections passed in other states.
• Do nothing to control escalating health care costs but instead shift more costs onto families.

People who need coverage most – seniors and people with pre-existing conditions – would find it even more difficult to get coverage under McCain’s proposal.
