In addition to mis-categorizing health care as a “right,” BRCK BM made another serious gaffe in last night’s debate:
In fact, just today business organizations like the United States Chamber of Commerce, which generally are pretty supportive of Republicans, said that this would lead to the unraveling of the employer-based health care system. That, I don’t think, is the kind of change that we need.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce seems to think that it is:
A government-run or single-payer health care system with government mandates is the wrong answer to our health care problems. The U.S. Chamber believes that employers drive innovation in health benefits, thereby making market-driven health reforms the best approach to reducing costs, while promoting efficiency, wellness, and quality of care.

McCain’s plan steers away from mandates and instead offers a $5,000 tax credit for families and a $2,500 credit for individuals who purchase insurance. He is more focused than the Democratic candidates on reining in escalating costs…
McCain shouldn’t have mentioned Warren Buffett; Obama shouldn’t have mentioned the U.S. Chamber.

The Chamber of Commerce only cares about Money, they do not care about America. They are Wall Street.
