One of the most important issues facing Americans is how to access affordable, high-quality health care. Millions of Americans are uninsured or underinsured because of skyrocketing medical costs.
We value healing, not health--in other words we focus more of fixing problems rather than preventing health problems in the first place. Much of what ails us collectively--heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, etc. -- is preventable with proper nutrition and exercise.
The two prominent political party's candidates for President have both proposed partial solutions to the problem, with the biggest obstacle being determining who pays. My point is not to pick a candidate for you, but to encourage you to be informed about the solutions being proposed. Here's a side-by-side comparison of McCain and Obama's healthcare proposals.
For the Obama campaign page on health-care proposal see www.barackobama.com and click on "Issues" then "Healthcare."
For the McCain campaign page on health-care proposal visit www.johnmccain.com/Informing and click "Issues" then "Health Care."
While you're deciding on which plan is best, don't forget to eat right and work toward getting (and staying) physically fit.
