The Issue: Healthcare

John McCain:

Health insurance is expensive and over 40 million people in the US don't have it. That is a very bad thing for Americans. Instead of having heath insurance given by their employers he would rely on giving tax credits to individual people and families to buy coverage of their choice from health insurance companies. Also, McCain says that they can buy health insurance from companies in different states. By this, he thinks it will help the economy, too.

Barack Obama:

Obama has many different ideas about health insurance plans. People with employer based tax credits can keep them. Small business owners would get tax credits to help them manage coverage for their employee's. Barack supports affordable health plans given by the government, too. All parents would have to maintain a health plan for their children.
