Since class last week, I've been trying to dig deeper into different proposed health care plans. I found in the NY Times a side-by-side glimpse at the top 3 Democratic Presidential Candidates proposed plans. (I am still looking to find this article again to give everyone a link. I did find this article that gives briefs quotes on each candidates thoughts and views.)All three were fairly similar. Obama proposed a governmental agency as a "watchdog" to oversee private insurance companies.
At first thought, I was interested in this very idea of establishing a department to hold insurance and pharmaceutical companies accountable for the high rates. Answering one of my questions... Why can't Americans afford healthcare? As we discussed this idea, it was asked if the article elaborated on Obama's plan. It did not! In fact I have not found another candidates in depth views of their plan in any NY Times I have picked up. It is possible I have overlooked it but it seems Clinton has their spotlight!
I am currently researching each candidates health care plans and let me tell you... it's not an easy task but hell what else do I gotta do. More blogs to come on HEALTH CARE.
