McCain and Obama, Where Do They Stand On Healthcare?
Do you have Health Insurance? Are you one of the 47 million Americans, that have no insurance? As a Nurse, health care is something very close to my heart. I have been uninsured for many years, and know the stress and impact that can have on someones life. I know how ridiculously expensive Health Care has become. I have seen gouging, unkind acts, greed, and just plain cruelty in the Health Care Industry. So where do the candidates stand on Health Care? View the videos, and hear what they have to say. They both say health care costs, must come down. However I notice two very distinct differences between the two. McCain gives clear, and concise ways to bring costs down, Obama does not. McCain states that his plan will not raise taxes, nor be added to the already huge deficit. Obamas plan will most definately increase taxes, or as he has stated recently will be added to the already Trillions of dollars deficit. McCain will give, every single family in America, a tax refund, to help cover out of pocket expenses, or to help pay for their health insurance plan. Obama wants to mandate every single Business, both big and small, to offer and help pay for health insurance to their employees. This will only make it more difficult for small businesses to succeed, and prosper. This will cause more job loss, and even send more companies over seas where such requirements are not imposed. View the videos, and then you decide, who you want to be President. Time is running out, and so many people are undecided. Dont listen to the rhetoric and garbage, on the Campaign trails. See and learn where the candidates really stand, then make a knowledgeable decision that is best for you and your family.

Excellent considerations. We too were uninsured and spent the last 10 years paying off two hospital bills. We are small business owners and our family's health insurance premium(we have it now)is more than our car payment (a 2000 yr. auto)and just a little below our monthly house payment. It's crazy.
Yes it is, and something needs to be done.
yes, in terms of healthcare, i think ours here in US is more of a privilege than a right. have you seen the movie Sicko? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicko that was a sad eye opener
No I have not seen Sicko, yet, but it is on my long list of movies to see.
