Making Sense of the Candidates’ Health Care Plans

HealthCare.com is a health provider search service. To promote their service – and as a public service – they have produced a pretty good analysis of the two presidential candidates’ health care plans.

It has a nicely done side-by-side summary comparison of what the two candidates have put out there on health care. You can also watch videos of the two candidates speaking on the topic and go through a short questionnaire to help you figure out your preferences. At the end of the process, you can vote!

I particularly like the “Yeah, but” section, going back to poke holes in the candidates’ statements, which tend to be “broad, crowd-pleasing, grandiose policy statements” rather than hard-headed plans.

We’ve taken a look at the recent legislating done by Senators Obama and McCain (Biden too), and, frankly, none of them have done much in the health care area. Take a look at all the different health-care-related legislation in the current Congress here. And the secret answer – you heard it here first! – is that health care isn’t even something the federal government should be involved in!

All in all, HealthCare.com has done a creditable job of getting information about the candidates health plans out there to the public.
