Presidential Debate
October 2, 2007 | General, Healthcare Debate
The Democratic Presidential Candidates participated in the first online only debate. They weighed in on such issues as Iraq, education and healthcare.
Yahoo! News asked users who they would vote for after seeing the online debate. Only a fraction of those who watched debate footage voted — more than a million people watched debate clips, but only 15%, or about 160,000 people, voted. That’s not so different from the low-turnout rates we usually see in actual elections.
How do you feel about the candidates view on the state of healthcare and their plan to resolve the issue of the uninsured?

Hopefully, we’ll have the opportunity to see the Republican mashup debate soon.

In regards to the Presidential Debate and Consumer driven healthcare, is there a site somewhere that anyone can provide a link to, that has opinions and views for each the Presidential Candidates that has their campaign highlights on Consumer Driven Healthcare?
I’m very curious to see the differences in the Presidential Candidates views on this subject and would like a balanced outlook on each of the candidates views and their past voting history on this topic. (sounds like a lot of work to me, but I bet this would be informative site) so I was wondering if anyone has seen something that would be a good read?

New Leadership on Health Care - A Presidential Forum was co-sponsored by the Center for American Progress Action Fund and Service Employees International Union. The forum was the first of its kind in the 2008 campaign. Karen Tumulty, National Political Correspondent for TIME, moderated the forum and asked the presidential candidates questions about the issue, giving them a platform to discuss how they will address our nation’s health care crisis.

The New York Times also published articles of both parties views on the issue:
