The Detroit Free Press - ELECTION 2008: The candidates' views on health care
The Detroit Free Press has published a summary of the candidates positions on Health Care and takes a position.
"OUR VIEW: The editorial board's position
The best, most efficient solution to rising health care costs and the swelling ranks of the uninsured is a government-sponsored, single payer system. But that is a long way off, at best, and it ultimately may represent too large a step away from Americans’ marketdriven instincts. In the breach, we have embraced VEBAs that remove health costs from employers’ bottom lines and may achieve further cost savings; programs such as SCHIP, which expands Medicaid eligibility for poor children; and experiments with universal health care programs in states such as Massachusetts and California."
