Obama: http://www.heritage.org/Research/HealthCare/bg2197.cfm
McCain: http://www.heritage.org/Research/HealthCare/bg2198.cfm
Here are three things to know about the candidates’ health care plans:
1) McCain wants to give individuals and families control over health care decisions. Obama wants the government to control health care decisions.
2) McCain wants to expand health care options. Obama wants to limit health care options.
3) Both candidates want to improve quality and lower the cost of health care, but they have different ideas on how to get there.

I also have a …
I also have a preexisting health issue. I refuse to make my fellow Americans pay more taxes because I believe that my “privilege” is a right. I’m forever thankful to my fellow citizens for their kindness. Instead of punishing(taxing)the rest of the population for our misfortune, we should reward them. We should ask that we’re allowed to work without loosing our health benefits. If we were able to work, if only part-time without loosing our benefits, it would most likely prove more constructive.
Bullshit …. you …
Bullshit …. you have no idea what your talking about because you haven’t been to either country … I have … I have family in England and have been to Canada many many times because I live right by the Canadian border… they LOVE there health care…
LOL … were not …
LOL … were not stupid sweet heart …. if you have a pre existing condition your ED in this country … I was born with a congenital heart defect and I cant get insurance from a private company … with health care about profit I’m a losing proposition for private health care … it’s time for universal health care and NO MORE PROFITABLE BASED managed care… it’s leaving to many Americans behind with no hope
Exactly John C. …
Exactly John C. Goodname of the NCPA wrote an article, Why the United States Does not Need Universal Healthcare. It is in the book Health Care: Opposing Viewpoints. He systematically debunks myths about universal healthcare and explains that nobody could make it work (at least well or as it was intended). The only solution European countries had to solve their healthcare crisis was turn to the private sector! In particular they looked to the American private sector for help!
McCain’s plan is …
McCain’s plan is hoping that corporate health insurance providers are *MOTIVATED* to pay out for expensive incidents regardless of cost or ability of the individual to pay. He’s hoping that there is some market based equation in which that somehow happens.
Obama’s plan limits options in the sense of providing this necessary equation outside of business interests. (I.e., removing options that don’t work anyways.)
The heritage foundation hasn’t gotten any better since I last checked in on you.
I do know this much …
I do know this much – “national”, “universal”, whatever you choose to label it health care has been proven by other countries to be a DISASTER. Canada promised a “utopian” health care system and is now trying to dismantle it. You wait and you wait and you wait for “quality” care, which has evaporated due to the number of medical personnel fleeing Canada for the U.S. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN BY OTHER COUNTRIES NOT TO WORK!
Obama is simply …
Obama is simply a Socialist….therefore he wants socialized medicine.

Obama, constitutional lawyer, will figure a way to wayside our constitution by committing the greatest fraud in this election. He will try to get elected by NOT disclosing his real birth & medical records.
Obama, muslim commie liar
OBAMA’S TROUBLING …
OBAMA’S TROUBLING INTERNET FUND RAISING
Obama’s internet campaign started out innocently enough with basic e-mail networking, campaigns and from supporters who visited any of the Obama campaign web sites..they were able to collate the number of contributions that were coming in seemingly from individuals the funds were from a few credit card accounts and bank electronic funds transfers. they were able to trace were from Saudi Arabia , Iran , and other Middle Eastern countries.
Care to support …
Care to support that statement? We have “socialized” fire departments, and they seem to work fine.
You know, every …
You know, every Obama supporter regurgitates the same BS talking points that they put out, but never seem to provide an original idea. Please, if you can, explain why taxing our plans would be a bad thing? I’ll bet you have no idea what difference it would make. If insurance price get cut big time, and there’s more competition how who a small tax effect in any way the quality of the service you get? Socialized medicine is the real danger. I’d rather have no insurance than socialism.
good point, I think …
good point, I think this video is fine at poking out the inadequacies of obama’s plan, but not a fair job picking on McCain’s, I wish there was a third libertarian option. I bet you’d like it better too. Taxing our plans however, isn’t the answer.
Honestly, the only …
Honestly, the only thing that will help the Healthcare industry (HI) is a complete de-regulation of the HI. The government should not force insurance companies to provide services that aren’t demanded.
If all I want is catostropic care, perscriptions, and basic doctors visits, that’s all I should have to pay for. My plan shouldn’t have to include accupuncture etc.
I can choose to have minimum coverage with Car insurance, why not with HI? Likewise, if I want full coverage I can choose that
I work for the DCMA …
I work for the DCMA in information services, it’s a federal contracting defense organization. The point is, McCain seems to think his terrible plan (note: even Carl Rove thinks he’s stretching it with this one) is a good idea? Even Obama’s health care program is better. McCain isn’t proposing an end to welfare or S.S. People who can’t afford healthcare will still feed off our taxes to get care through their states or the government, at least obama’s lowers the premiums and ends that corruption
By the way: McCain …
By the way: McCain will tax the health care plan you have.
I really dont know what makes the Heritage Foundation lie by omission again and again. Is it because they wish to stay an influential lobbyist group under a republican rule and fear to loose their influence and power under a democrat President?
As a result of …
As a result of McCains health care plan less people will have helth care. You have preconditions? Your on your own under McCain. Take the few thousand dollars McCain gave you and find a nice place to die, because you wont find a health insurance that wants your money.
Her own body? …
Her own body? Their is a baby coexisting within her with its own body… she is living for two people.
Deregulation got us …
Deregulation got us out of the mess Jimmy Carter made, it’s the corrupt leaders in charge of unholy federal government/private sector alliances like Feddie Mac and Fannie Mae that helped get us here. It’s the government getting involved in the housing industry. It’s people like Barak Obama who with ACORN sued CitiBank to give loans to people who couldn’t pay it back.
No company would EVER of their free will, give money to people who couldn’t pay it back.
Um… he also works …
Um… he also works for the federal government. You don’t. If you want the same care they have in the Federal Government, I suggest you work for it. Moreover, you should be able to provide your own healthcare for yourself. There’s no reason I should be paying for your healthcare.
funny, john mccain …
funny, john mccain has lived under socialized military his entire career, serving in the military, he was given full care through the federal government, and moving over to the senate he kept it. I wonder why the care he has is too good for me?
Don’t try and …
Don’t try and hijack this thread into your own pet issue. I’m not interested in giving long explanations of anything. Besides, your objection is irrelevant in that they want all abortion to be illegal, whether it is late term or any term.
But I ask you, is this video saying McCain is an advocate of “health freedom”? Yes, clearly.
Are McCain and Palin against the freedom for a woman to decide what she wants to do with her own body? Yes, clearly.
Advocate the truth of that.
If you don’t have …
If you don’t have freedom to live, you don’t have any freedoms at all. I challenge you to give any logical explanation of why a late term abortion is not a violation of an individual’s right to life. A living unborn human being is an individual whether you want to admit it or not. And giving states the freedom to protect life in a way that citizens agree on is how a free country operates. And don’t give me anti-religious rants, because I’m an atheist.
Actually, I’m not …
Actually, I’m not going to vote and I’m not an Obama supporter. I don’t watch TV much less CNN.
I did notice though, that at the same time that people are claiming McCain will give them more “health care freedom,” he and Palin are in favor of making sure that you don’t have any freedom to do what you want with your own reproductive health. Repealing Roe vs. Wade is an anti-freedom measure. So, this video is truly 1984 doublespeak here.
I’m sure you prefer …
I’m sure you prefer CNN or some other Obama propaganda provider. No doubt you aren’t offended by that propaganda, but as soon as you see some conservative propaganda you your diaper and throw a baby fit. Get over yourself.
