Brad DeLong has a bunch of them. I'd slim the list down to three for each candidate. For McCain: • McCain's health care plan will increase taxes on employer-based insurance, and kick 20 million people off the rolls. • McCain's plan will throw you into the individual market, where the same plan your employer offered will cost $2,000 more, and you can be refused care because you were sick 10 years ago. • McCain's plan will shift costs onto the sick. For Obama: • Obama's plan will cover tens of millions of Americans and reform the insurance industry such that everyone gets a fair deal and no one can be discriminated against because they were once sick or unlucky. • It will create a group market that businesses can buy their employees into so that a small business that paints homes doesn't have to run a tiny insurance company on the side and an entrepreneur can pursue his idea without having to learn about health coverage regulations. • It will cover all children. And Christ almighty, isn't it time we did at least that?
