This brief is of tremendous value to folks out in the field trying to make sense of the issues and data. It advances and informs advocacy and policy development. Thank you for being a valuable national resource. I would simply like to commend PHI and Carol Regan in particular for her excellent policy analysis.

Privitization of health care with limited regulations is what has led us to our national health care being more correctly defined as sick care, with millions of Americans suffering, both financially and physically. Which effects our work force and our ability to be a strong country from the inside. The reviews do favor Obama but that may be because according to the guidelines that were reviewed his plan actually addresses the problems currently keeping our system from growing. Read the websites, get the facts and even though there are no easy answers, its time we started working on solutions.

I read this hoping to see a fair and balanced comparison. Your article does not give an accurate overview of Senator McCains plan and your preference for Senator Obamas plan is clear and does not address who would pay for a national health insurance exchange. The government is already faced with a hugh budget deficit and the reality is that the federal government can not afford the cost of a federally subsidised national health plan. Healthcare reform is a complex issue with no easy answers. I was disappointed your clearly biased depiction of the candidates approach to health care reform.
