"McCain Health-Care Article Fuels New Clash Over Economy." ... "An article [by McCain] about health care published in an obscure journal led to a new skirmish Saturday between the campaigns of [2008 Election Presidential Candidates] Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain over who should be trusted with the ailing economy." ... "The article was published in Contingencies magazine, which is produced under the auspices of the American Academy of Actuaries. In it, McCain touted his plans for increasing competition in health care as one way to expand coverage and reduce costs." ... "McCain wrote, "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."" ... "Obama, appearing at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Fla. [Florida], mocked his rival for sounding out of touch at a time when Washington is moving rapidly to re-regulate the financial industry to curb the excesses that put the system into near-paralysis in the past week." ... ""So let me get this straight -- he wants to run health care like they've been running Wall Street," Obama told the audience. "Well, Senator, I know some folks on Main Street who aren't going to think that's such a good idea."" ... "With millions of Americans worrying about their retirement security as federal officials rushed to stabilize the shaky financial system, Obama also seized on McCain's support for partial privatization of Social Security. He said McCain was prepared to gamble with people's life savings." ... ""If my opponent had his way, the millions of Floridians who rely on it would've had their Social Security tied up in the stock market this week," he said. "Millions would've watched as the market tumbled and their nest egg disappeared before their eyes. Millions of families would've been scrambling to figure out how to give their mothers and fathers, their grandmothers and grandfathers, the secure retirement that every American deserves.""
