McCain & Obama on Healthcare Reform

The New England Journal of Medicine published an article in August comparing the McCain and Obama plans for U.S. healthcare reform. This is valuable information from a trusted source for health science and nursing students--and all of the rest of us.

Here is the first paragraph of that article. "In the face of escalating costs, uneven quality of care, and the growth of the uninsured population, there is broad agreement that the U.S. health care system requires reform. However, Democrats and Republicans remain sharply divided over how to reform it, as evidenced by the health care plans offered by the parties' presidential candidates. The ambitious reform agendas of Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Barack Obama (D-IL) would take the U.S. health care system in very different directions."
