McCain Diagnosis

It is really too bad that Senator John McCain has been diagnosed with glioblastoma, which is pretty much a death sentence.  What is not being widely reported is the fact that McCain is being treated at the Mayo Clinic, the most exclusive and renown medical facility in the country, this is particularly interesting in view of the national debate taking place over the health care available to most Americans.  U.S. Senators and Congressmen are under their own health care system, as are most Federal employees, it is a system which gives them great freedom in selecting their health care providers, as well as the level of care they receive, and includes a very substantial government paid subsidy.  The vast majority of American will never see the inside of the Mayo Clinic, but members of Congress and their staff's have that option if they so desire, complements of the tax payers.
