...poked fun at McCain??s experiences in the Vietnam War (“couldn’t we pick a POW who doesn’t want to shut down Guantanamo?”) and quipped that the Arizona senator is running for President because he wants to improve his New York Times obituary.

He thinks that by increasing competition among health insurance companies, prices can be driven down. While faith in the cogs of the free market is laudable, an issue as pressing as insuring the millions of uninsured Americans—and fixing our broken healthcare system—may require a bit more of a kick-start...
