McCain vs. Obama: Looking at the candidates’ health plans specific to cancer
If you live in the United States you cannot turn on the TV, radio or computer without seeing an ad, article or comedy sketch about one of the 2008 presidential candidates.
Record numbers have flocked to register in what many believe to be one of the most important elections in a generation.
Senators McCain and Obama have spent over 395 million dollars combined on campaign ads that state their take on the issues that are most important to Americans. While economy is most certainly the frontrunner, a September 19- 21 CNN poll shows that healthcare is the second highest priority for voters.
So, while McCain and Obama make their “last stands” in key battleground states, we will take one last look at the candidates’ healthcare plans as they relate to cancer.
Please refer to www.johnmccain.com/healthcare and www.barackobama.com/issues/healthcare for more details.
