New Interactive Side-by-Side Comparisons of Presidential Candidate Health Care Proposals
As part of its ongoing effort to inform debate about health care issues in the 2008 presidential election, Kaiser created an interactive online tool to compare the health care proposals of presidential candidates. The tool summarizes positions in four overall categories including access to health care coverage, cost containment, improving the quality of care, and financing. Users can customize side-by-side comparisons by selecting as many as four candidates for comparison that can then be formatted into a printer-friendly format. Documents comparing all the Democratic candidates and all the Republican candidates are also available. Information will be updated regularly as the campaign unfolds. The new tool is part of the health08.org, a website operated by Kaiser providing analysis of health policy issues, regular public opinion surveys, and news and video coverage from the campaign trai
