Here's this week's news from the CWA Health
Care Campaign:
McCain would
cut Medicare to pay for health tax
credits John McCain would make
“major reductions to Medicare and Medicaid” to
save enough money to finance tax credits for
people who buy health insurance, the Wall
Street Journal reported – meaning up to $1.3
trillion in cuts to the health programs.
Analysis
finds Obama plan has “greater
potential” Barack Obama’s health
plan has “greater potential to move the health
care system toward high performance” than John
McCain’s proposals, according to a new analysis
by the non-partisan Commonwealth Fund, a
foundation that studies health issues.
The faces of
the uninsured We often talk about
the uninsured in big numbers – 46 million in
the country lacking health coverage, up nearly
10 million in the past eight years. The huge
numbers can make us numb to the individual
suffering. Two recent works of reporting look
at the uninsured one excruciating case at a
time.
