Which president is the best pick for healthcare 

WASHINGTON -- If John McCain becomes president, Americans would be steered toward buying individual health insurance policies, and job-related coverage eventually could decline. If Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton wins, more people would get their insurance from the government -- with many workers offered the equivalent of Medicare and employers facing new coverage mandates.

In the past, voters sometimes have complained that there was little difference between Republicans and Democrats. That's far from true in the 2008 campaign, at least where healthcare is concerned. On this issue, which many voters rank near the top of their concerns, the two parties offer clear choices.

I think McCain has the most common sense approach to healthcare. He also has the least funding from pharma lobbyists of any of the 3 candidates.

I don't get the plan that Hillary proposes, you shouldn't force someone to buy health coverage if they don't want it or can't afford it. To be fined for not taking health coverage when you can't afford it is like beating a dead horse, she is hurting those that she claims she wants to help.
