McCain vs Obama on Healthcare
A great story on NPR's Day to Day comparing the two candidates on their healthcare policies. Neither appears great, but McCain's is definitely worse. At least Obama's might be a step in the right direction, but lacking a ton of detail not to mention any method to pay for it. Sounds a lot like welfare, and I'm not sure how they'd keep companies from just stopping offering group policies. McCain's on the other hand just sounds ridiculous and would accomplish almost nothing. A tax credit of an insufficient level to do any good, and at the same time taxing benefits from employer-sponsored programs? At least he's dealing with the financial aspect a bit more, but uselessly.
At least according to this Trudy Lieberman person.
