Issues and Elections: Health Care

With under two weeks to go before voters go to the polls, our Issues and Elections series returns with a look at health care. As the cost of health care continues to grow at a breakneck pace, many voters worry that a major health crisis could leave them bankrupt. Both Barack Obama and John McCain have put forth plans to control costs and expand health insurance coverage, but the two plans take very different approaches to improving America’s health care system. We’ll find out where the candidates stand, break down their plans, and imagine what the future of health care would look like under a McCain or an Obama presidency.
