I don’t know about you, but as the tone of presidential campaign begins to deteriorate - as it inevitably does, despite early pleas to take the high road - I am finding it more and more difficult to figure out what the candidates’ positions actually are. This election cycle, the state of the health care system in the U.S. is quite the hot topic, and the candidates are busily trying to tear down their opponents’ plans as they tout their own.
Want an unbiased run-down of how our candidates propose to fix our health care system? Click here for a great resource.
The Henry J. Kaiser Foundation gleaned all the data they could from candidates’ websites and speeches, as well as information from debates and news items, and created this handy site that allows you to compare each candidate’s health care proposal (or promises of a proposal) side-by-side with all of the other candidates.
The rest of the site is also chock full of information on the continuing political debate and policy issues surrounding our broken system.
Check it out!
