Health care is a major issue in the current presidential campaign. Candidates Barack Obama and John McCain have laid out very different visions, and each believes his plan is best for our nation's citizenry.

Dr. E. Richard Brown is a professor at the UCLA School of Public Health and the founder and director of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. He received his PhD in sociology of education from the University of California, Berkeley.

Dr. Brown has studied and written extensively about a broad range of issues and policies that affect the access of disadvantaged populations to health care. His recent research focuses on health insurance coverage, the lack of coverage, and the effects of public policies, managed care, and market conditions on access to health services, particularly for disadvantaged populations, ethnic minorities, and immigrants. Dr. Brown and the Center's studies of health insurance coverage, uninsurance, and eligibility for public programs have been used by California's governors, legislators, and advocates in crafting health insurance legislation and programs.

Because its common sense,and remember, its not free, its paid through taxes,income taxes,thus everyone is covered for anything and everyhting.Thats why all these european countries,do better as far healthcare goes. If you pay into one system,everyone benefits from it.Without co pay,without ANY out of pocket expenses,free to see any physician,any hospital,no such thing as "in or out " network.Remember in europe,Dr's get bonuses,if they cure a patient,or get them off a medication.Here, vise versa

Toronto- the corporations are (have) taken over our country.... they dont give a damn about "we the people' being healthy,,,, they'd rather milk us dry...

i'm not surprise that your in fairly good health... you all get "preventative care' right?

the only 'preventative' (or preemptive) we give out is death.

Please, this is such a simple minded whitewash of the plan. Apparently, judging by the idiotic comments here, there are people who seriously think putting a trillion dollar bureaucracy between healthcare providers and patients will IMPROVE healthcare. Amazing how the government controlled educational system has completely stunted peoples' ability to think rationally.

Despite what the Right Wing has claimed about the Affordable Care Act, being a "Government Takeover of Health Care". Its not even close to that, what it does is build on the private Health Insurance system. And assists people who can't afford Health Insurance get it.
