Texas once again led the nation with the highest percentage of residents without health insurance, a U.S. Census Bureau report showed Tuesday, although the same study also reports a slight dip last year in the percentage without coverage across the nation. ... But the numbers are misleading, said John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a right-leaning Dallas-based think tank. Mr. Goodman, who helped craft Sen. John McCain's health care policy, said anyone with access to an emergency room effectively has insurance, albeit the government acts as the payer of last resort. (Hospital emergency rooms by law cannot turn away a patient in need of immediate care.) "So I have a solution. And it will cost not one thin dime," Mr. Goodman said. "The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American - even illegal aliens - as uninsured. Instead, the bureau should categorize people according to the likely source of payment should they need care. More on John McCain ...

Meeting with reporters today to talk mainly about economic policy, McCain Adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin had this to say about the announcement by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter Bristol is pregnant: "Sen. McCain has complete confidence in her as a running mate and as a future vice president of the United States."   Holtz-Eakin said Palin was "completely vetted" by the campaign before she was chosen as McCain's running mate. He declined to speculate about what if any political impact the announcement might have. The selection of Palin has energized many conservatives in the party, and spurred McCain's fundraising. The campaign said it made the announcement about the pregnancy to head off Internet rumors that Bristol was actually the mother of Gov. Palin's youngest child, who was born in April.   "It's a matter of speculation, particularly for me, to guess what the impact would be in the public's (mind)," said Holtz-Eakin, responding to a reporter's question. "I think the key that remains true today and was true from the moment she joined the ticket is that Gov. Palin is someone that the American people are going to get to know over the next 60 some days. As they get to know her, they will understand why Sen. McCain has so much confidence in her as a running mate and as a vice president."    This was the statement released by Gov. Palin and her husband Todd Monday:   "We have been blessed with five wonderf ...

Here's a little tidbit from the GOP convention we forgot to blog last night. From Rudy Giuliani's speech : "Tough times require strong leadership, and this is no time for on the job training." ...and here's top McCain Adviser Charlie Black on Sarah Palin last week : "She's going to learn national security at the foot of the master for the next four years, and most doctors think that he'll be around at least that long." To be clear, this is more than just a fun little gotcha. It's another sign of how absurd and untenable McCain's argument that our commander in chief requires national security preparedness now looks in light of his choice of Palin as back-up president. Either the president needs decades of experience to be effective or he doesn't. Choosing Palin as Veep candidate is effectively an admission by McCain that the latter is the case -- or, worse, it means McCain put someone within reach of the presidency that he believes isn't up to the job. There's just no other way to look at it. ...
