VP Debate (10-2) Post #20

After watching the debate between the two vice presidents I didn’t really feel that one side was better than the other. They were both equally argumentative and had good points, opinions, and reasons. When watching the debate I was listening for their comments on healthcare. While talking about Wall Street running wild senator Biden brought up McCain’s healthcare reform saying that he wants to deregulate it and let the free market move. Governor Palin comes back with information about the largest tax increase that Obama and Biden supported. During the debate Governor Palin is asked if she wants to defend Senator McCain’s healthcare plan and she says yes. She says that he has a “good plan and it is detailed.” He’s proposing a $5000 tax credit for families so they can purchase their own coverage. She says Obama’s plan to mandate coverage and have a universal government run program will cost money and is only satisfying if you like how the government has been run lately. McCain also wants to erase the lines between states so that way if a better plan is offered somewhere else you could cross state lines for it. Affordability and accessibility are the keys to healthcare reform.
