Republican or Democrat? Christian or Mormon? Black or White? Man or Woman? HMO’s or Universal Healthcare? Paper, Scissors, or Rock? How does the burden of healthcare, universal or not, place in the 2008 Presidential campaign.
Clinton outlines her American Health Choices Plan which will: offer new coverage choices for the insured and uninsured, lower premiums and increased security, promote shared responsibility, and ensure affordable health coverage for all through a fiscally responsible plan that honors our priorities. According to the Boston Globe, during a presidential spar between ’08 Presidential Candidates, “…she was open to stringent measures to bring about universal healthcare, including withholding money from people's paychecks.”
The first step of a plan for Massachusetts crafted under former Gov. Mitt Romney, involves getting all of those who are eligible for Medicaid to sign up with a goal to ease the burden on state-funded emergency rooms by giving the poor more access to preventative care.
Obama’s plan declares to be quality, affordable and portable coverage for all with a plan to cover uninsured Americans similar to the plan available to members of Congress. Participants in the new public plan and the National Health Insurance Exchange will be able to move from job to job without changing or jeopardizing their health care coverage.
"I'm eligible for veterans' care, because of having served in the military, and I'm most proud of that," McCain said in an interview. "I have the Senate health-insurance program, and I'm also part of my wife's supplementary insurance that she has." McCain does believe that insurance reforms should increase the variety and affordability of insurance coverage available to American families by fostering competition and innovation.
The plans are well-detailed but have yet to be initiated. With so many issues at hand, Americans will hopefully be voting more wisely than with leisurely method of paper, scissors, rock.
