How are You Feeling? The Campaigns on Health Care

How are you feeling? Do you check your health care insurance before you call your doctor, just to make sure you can afford the visit? Medical bills are the single biggest reason for personal bankruptcy in this country. So – how would the two presidential candidates change our messed-up health care system? Patt debates the merits of both plans with health care advisers to John McCain and Barack Obama. The discussion was taped last night at the California Endowment in front of a live audience.

Third Time the Charm? The Candidates Hope So.

Barack Obama and John McCain will both try to project the image of a strong leader in bad economic times as they meet tonight for their third and final presidential debate. Their face-off comes as Obama widens his lead in typically Democratic states, while McCain searches for a way to gain ground as he defends traditionally Republican states with less than three weeks left in the race.
