I've found the ads on health care and insurance by Obama to be disturbing if they are true, so, I went looking for what each candidate had to say on their websites.
In the interest of transparency, I'll tell you that I think I am more qualified to make decisions on where to spend my money than the government is, therefore, one of the lenses I look through is, "Who is allocating and spending my money, me or someone else?" Personally, I think it is a question we all should ask. Lots of proposed government programs sound really good, until I realize that each requires funding to be successful. Then I start personalizing. How is this going to effect me and each individual citizen? Does the benefit offset the cost? Given the cost, is there another way to accomplish something similar, or even, something better? Can the government successfully implement and run such a program?
On that note, here are the candidate's links for their ideas about health care:
