Is THAT change we can believe in?
Grandpa Simpson

"Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation." -- John McCain, in an article for Contingencies (Sep/Oct 2008).

If the erstwhile media-friendly candidate were actually taking questions from reporters these days, it would be nice to hear if he still feels that deregulating another profession is still a grand idea, given its recent results in the banking industry.

Come to think of it, it would be interesting to learn why, until last week, he was still so gung-ho on financial deregulation, given his personal history with its results.
