Compare McCain and Obama’s Views On Key Health Care Issues

Health care is a huge issue in this upcoming election. The Kaiser Family Foundation has created a website that “provides analysis of policy issues, regular public opinion surveys, daily news updates, video of speeches and debates from the campaign trail, original interviews and resources for journalists covering the election.” The site, health08.org, specifically focuses on health care policy issues. A notable feature on the site is a great tool that allows you to see a side-by-side comparison of each candidates’ position on health care. You can choose an overall summary or customize your own comparison, choosing issues like mental health parity, prescription drugs and women’s health. The comparisons are based on information compiled from the candidates’ websites, speeches and campaign debates, with links at the bottom of the comparison to view sources. It’s definitely worth a look.
