Below are video clips of sound bites featuring presidential nominees Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) offering their thoughts on a number of health reform topics, drawn from health08.org's extensive library of video from the campaign trail. The clips illustrate key differences between the candidates in four areas that could set the stage for the next health reform debate:
- What the primary goal of health reform should be;
- How to organize the health insurance system;
-What the basic purpose of health insurance should be; and
- What degree of regulation should be applied to the health insurance industry.
