Health care a major issue in 2008 presidential election

Abstract

Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. Health care is emerging as the number one domestic issue in the 2008 presidential election. For that reason, Susan Foote, a health policy professor at the University of Minnesota, says voters need to pay attention and ask themselves some questions. <Clip: “What role does or should government…have access to health care.”>Foote says that Republicans and Democrats differ fundamentally on where to begin to address the health care needs of Americans. <Clip: “The McCain plan, which is consistent…but the goal is primarily universal access.”> With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
