Good resources for information on the Presidential candidates' proposals for health care reform from KaiserNetwork ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Resources for Voters on Election Health Issues Health care trails only the economy among domestic issues that voters want the presidential candidates to talk about and is also a dimension of the public’s economic concerns, according to the September Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: Election 2008. With Wednesday's presidential debate focused on domestic policy, health care is sure to be one of the issues addressed by the candidates. Health08.org (http://www.health08.org), a hub of information about health and the election, provides valuable resources for evaluating the candidates’ health reform plans and assessing their positions on heath care issues, including: * Election issue briefs providing facts and background information on important health care issues, as well as broad policy options and questions to help evaluate the candidates’ proposals (http://www.kff.org/kaiserpolls/h08_electionbriefs.cfm). Briefs on the uninsured, Medicare and women’s health are available now. Later this week, briefs on health care costs and minority health will be published. * Side-by-side comparisons of the candidates’ health reform plans (http://www.health08.org/sidebyside.cfm) as well as their positions on a range of health issues (http://www.health08.org/healthissues_sidebyside.cfm). * Video from the campaign trail including clips of the candidates speaking about various aspects of health reform and the health-related excerpts from the first two presidential debates and the vice presidential debate (http://www.health08.org/videos.cfm). * Results from monthly polls tracking changes in the saliency of health as a political issue and policy priority and the public's priorities for a health reform plan (http://www.kff.org/kaiserpolls/elections2008.cfm).
