By Health Care Info | April 4, 2010



During the historic 2008 presidential election campaign, much attention has been given to the personality of the candidate. Many know that John McCain survived a horrific ordeal as a POW in Vietnam. Many know that Obama by a single mother in Hawaii, who sometimes had to go to social order has been raised to support their children. And many are now aware of Sarah Palin’s pregnant teenage daughter and the death of Joe Biden’s wife in a car crash 30 years ago. However, if you ask many supporters of Obama or McCain, very few can tell you where their candidates are topics such as health care. That means that 45 million Americans without adequate health care. Both presidential candidates plan to guarantee health care for all Americans. ”We now face an opportunity and an obligation to the page on the failed policies of the past health care debates … My plan begins turning for all Americans,” Obama said in 2007. “If you already have health insurance, the only thing that is for you under this plan is to change the amount of money you spend on premiums. That is less. If you are one of the 45 million Americans who lack health insurance, you will have it after this plan is law. no one will be changed because of a preexisting condition or illness. “ Obama believes not enough money is spent on prevention and public health, citing the obesity epidemic in this country. According to his website, less than four cents of every dollar is spent on medical prevention. His health plan subsidies for working families, not for Medicaid and Medicare, and the participants of different jobs without changing plans can not be considered. McCain wants to put the patient in control of their health care plan by encouraging competition among insurers with a greater choice, lower costs and like Obama portability of insurance plans. The senator from Arizona will allow citizens to stay with their company, but the insurance every family a direct refundable tax credit to give the amount of $ 5,000 and $ 2,500 for individuals to offset the high cost of health care. He is also the promotion of health savings accounts that allow families to control, what options they would pay. Senator Obama’s plan would be a National Health Insurance Exchange that would act as a watchdog group by implementing rules and standards for insurance companies to provide guarantee fairness and accessibility. The GOP hopeful will attempt to promote greater competition within our drug market through a quicker development of generic drugs. The Democratic candidate plans to allow Americans to buy their medicines from other developed countries if the prices are lower outside the country. He will stop the use of generic drugs in Medicare and Medicaid and the big pharmaceutical companies generic ban on the market. Both candidates for technological progress to use in order to assist physicians in their daily work. In addition to reform frivolous lawsuits against doctors for both insurance companies avoided. And Obama favors mandatory health insurance for children, with which young Americans coverage under their parents insurance until the age of 25 years. Whether Democrat or Republican, young or old, rich or poor, issues such as health, life and death situation for many Americans. And unlike other publications shelf magazines over the next two months to cover the most important issues for all Americans is not the problems that have no impact on the provision of a better future for Americans to devote.
