CDP Chair Torres to Senator McCain: People with Pre-Existing Conditions Deserve Better

California Democratic Party chair Art Torres isn't impressed with John McCain's health care proposal. Here's the statement:

"One day after a new Field Poll showed that nearly six in ten California voters are 'very concerned' about not being able to afford health care, John McCain has presented a health care 'plan' that amounts to nothing more than a third Bush term.
 
The fact of the matter is McCain’s plan is all style and no substance. The McCain proposal lacks any specifics on how he plans to help more people get health insurance, or how he will bring down costs and improve quality.
 
And the plan wouldn’t do anything to help Senator McCain’s and my fellow cancer survivors and others with pre-existing conditions find health insurance.
 
Before John McCain publicly fantasizes again about winning California in November, he ought to listen to the millions of Californians who are very worried about their health care. Californians simply won’t accept four more years of the Bush approach to health care reform."
