Few election issues hit closer to home than healthcare... And while new and improved health care plans have been touted for years, not much real progress has been made. President Bush promises to modernize the healthcare system. Senator Kerry wants to expand the current system. In New Hampshire, Republicans and Democrats are divided over how best to offer more coverage while at the same time, lower costs. We'll look at the issue of healthcare, who's saying what and not saying what and how this issue might play out in this year's elections. Laura's guests are Jon Greenberg, Executive Editor for NHPR; Ed Howard, Executive Vice-President of the Alliance for Healthcare Reform , a non-partisan think tank in Washington, D.C.; and Andy Smith, professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire and director of the UNH Survey Center.
