McCain/Obama Compared on Health Care

Health care reform is likely to be one of the top issues for the next President and Congress.   Rising costs, declining quality, and millions without coverage are problems that can no longer be addressed by band aids, and business, labor, consumers and elected officials from both parties are saying “enough!”

So what are the presidential candidates talking about when they say they have a plan to fix our health care system?

Families USA, a is a national nonprofit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the achievement of high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans, and a voice for health care consumers for over 25 years has recently published a report that examines the key differences between the positions of Barack Obama and John McCain.   If health care matters to you and you want more information about what the candidates stand for, this may be helpful for you: Comparing the Candidates’ Positions on Health Care.

And we’d like to hear what YOU think.  Please, take a minute to let us know what health care means to you as a direct care worker; as a long-term care employer; as a consumer of long-term care services; or as an advocate or policymaker who cares about health reform.   You can post a comment or email me directly at cregan@phinational.org.
