the healthcare crisis. A Yahoo article describes what jobs will be affected based on which candidate wins. McCains plan stands to increase medical insurance jobs. 25% of our healthcare dollar already goes to billing and paperwork for insurance, can we really afford to waste more healthcare money on things that aren't actually healthcare?


"Insurance. McCain wants to reform the existing tax code to allow workers to choose their health-care insurance providers outside of what their employers offer. Challenger states, "This move will likely mean more competition in the insurance industry, creating hundreds of opportunities for sales people, claims adjusters, underwriters, examiners, investigators, management analysts, and administrators."

You're right, it is a piece of the article. The point is still the same. More jobs in billing and paperwork aren't going to make it more affordable to get health insurance or healthcare. Sorry I didn't address every topic in the article but it doesn't make this topic less important.
