The policy journal Health Affairs has released profiles on both the Republican and Democratic health care plans. The bad news: both fall short of universal coverage. The worse news: one falls short of increasing coverage at all, and i'll bet you can guess which one.
Yep. The McCain health plan would increase the number of uninsured by 5 million within 5 years. The Obama plan would decrease the number of uninsured by 18 million in 1 year and 34 million in 10 years, an improvement but still short of the 45 million total uninsured.
