McCain is the real health care reformer:
With only a month to go the presidential election race things are starting to intensify. One issue in particular is health care. Both candidates have different policies and views when it comes to health care reform. Senator Obama is pressing this issue hard in swing states. Senator Obama uses advertising to show that he thinks McCain’s plan is not what we need.
McCain recognizes that a large part of the problem is that the tax code favors employer funded health insurance. McCain’s new system is built on tax breaks that allow employees to buy health insurance with pretax dollars. McCain wants to give self employed and individuals a tax break for buying their own insurances. There are benefits and problems with both parties plans, but this issue could play a key role in who becomes the next President.

I think universal health care is the only answer. McCain's policy wants to give each American $5000 to spend on any health care plan they wish. What if a particular families health care plan costs over $5000? The McCain plan does not account for that. Ultimately, universal health care is the best alternative. I can see pros and cons for both policies; however universal health care will benefit us the most in the long run. Several other countries have implemented universal health care plans like Canada for example. If Canada can accomplish this, we can and should as well.
