Presidential Candidates on Key Health Care Issues: New Side-by-Side Comparison and Video Clips

• A new, interactive tool allows users to compare the candidates proposals and positions on a range of health care issues -- biomedical research, care coordination and prevention, health information technology, HIV/AIDS, long-term care, Medicaid and SCHIP, medical malpractice, Medicare, mental health parity, prescription drugs, racial and ethnic disparities, transparency and comparative effectiveness, veterans’ health and women's health – issues not necessarily addressed in the candidates' health care reform proposals. These comparisons are based on information compiled from the candidates’ Web sites and speeches and campaign debates. A separate side-by-side comparison of the candidates’ health reform proposals is also available on health08.org.
• The site now features a new compilation of video clips of the candidates speaking about various aspects of health reform including expanding coverage, employer-sponsored coverage, costs of coverage, the government's role in health care, the insurance market, preventive care and tax subsidies for health insurance. The clips are drawn from health08.org's extensive webcast library.
