Obama on the right track?
Reading in the news that Obama has a very proactive approach to healthcare leaving McCain behind.
On top of all of this, Obama plans on offering a national insurance program that’s similar to what our U.S. congressmen get today. This option would be primarily for those who cannot afford insurance.
Research suggests that Obama’s health care plan would cover 34 million uninsured people.
However, this is not the only incentive to support Obama’s plan. If the cost of health care goes down and the incentives for employee insurance programs go up, we will see a rise in the employment rate, as many potential jobs are currently priced out due to required health care costs.
People currently uninsured will be able to take care of illnesses early, and not require the government to pay for higher costs down the line.
Now, let’s contrast this with McCain’s plan.
McCain wants to lend U.S. families a $5,000 health care tax credit or individuals a $2,500 tax credit. The cost is that the previous health care benefits for small businesses will be phased out.
I think Obama will be a better pick as President, but he should be come up with some fresh ideas of his own in regards to fixing this credit crisis. At the moment he just looks like he’s treading water and doesn’t really understand how to deal with it. Hopefully he’ll come up with something brilliant soon.
