Straight Talk On John McCain

 AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS AFL-CIO

ACCORDING TO JOHN McCAIN:

INSURANCE AND MORTAGE INDUSTRIES

Should Get To Make Their Own Rules...

Senator McCain Wants Fewer Rules For Insurance Companies. Senator McCain will let insurance companies avoid state laws regulating the quality of health care plans, resulting in lower-quality coverage. His approach undermines employer-based health care and pushes workers into the private market to fight big insurance companies on their own. (Senator McCain Campaign Website, accessed 2/21/08; Health08.org, Forum, 10/31/07; The Commonwealth Fund, 1/08; Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 7/31/07.)

Senator McCain Opposed Safeguards On The Mortage Industry. The mortage crisis has resulted in record foreclosure filings, devastating families and communities around the country. Senator McCain helped contribute to the crisis by voting against a measure to discourage predatory lending practices. He also skipped the vote on the economic stimulus bill intended to help families get through the crisis. (S.Amdt. 38 to S.256, Vote #22, 3/3/05; H.R. 5140, Vote #8, 2/6/08; Associated Press, 2/6/08.)
