How does each major presidential candidate intend to address America's health insurance system?

What are the Democratic and Republican programs?

As far as I know: Obama wants subsidized health-care for those who cannot afford it (not quite the extreme socialist plan hillary had to push for ultimately universal healthcare)...and McCain seems to have a less comprehensive/less generous plan of the same variety. I know he wants to provide credits for underinsured/uninsured families but I'm not sure how far beyond that he plans to help.

Health insurance costs are out of control so Obama will round us all up and deliver us to the insurance providers (instead of cutting the providers out of the loop). If you though haliburtion profited when Bush was in the white house, that will be nothing compaired to this.

McCain is just going to ignore the issue, which might actually be better than the alternative. (I'm still not voting for either)

Obama: get more government involved (take a look at Veteran's Hospitals to see how well that will work). Open the borders and provide free health care to anyone coming over.

McCain: status quo. Amnesty for illegals. His voting record also indicates an open border stance.

Ron Paul: get government out of health care and let doctors and patients determine the best course of care. When we had this, everyone was covered for health care, patient and doctor satisfaction were highest and cure rates were better.

No subsidies or birthright citizenship for illegals. (In my area 90% of the births at our biggest hospital are to illegals so this all figures into health care costs).

If you believe the poor wouldn't receive care, take a look at places like the Shriner's Hospitals and compare the sort of care the poor receive there to the VA Hospitals. One is a non-profit dedicated to caring for everyone. The other is a government run program.

Regardless of what their proposals are to address the health care issues we face, it is important to arrive at a unified solution that will cover all Americans. How can we as a nation continue at our current growing rate of 50 million uninsured Americans to neglect so many people and bankrupt individuals and hospitals alike with our current policies? A national plan is long overdue.

McCain's health care is the same one we have no difference but to give credit to families (that can't buy it any way)

Obama's is to put a cap on what insurance companies can make and make the insurance companies have a plan for the uninsurable.

McCain's plan : do nothing about the system but give tax breaks to prolong the broken system

Obama's :Expand coverage for millions of Americans who don't have insurance and move more towards universal coverage

I know one of them will send you to either Iran or Iraq to fight.
If you die there, one less health care problem.
They will rather spend the billion buying bombs and killing than spend it on you.

mccain no plan like his old buddy bush and other republicans they dont care

barack plan is to provide a plan to insure all uninsured americans
