An editorial in today’s New York Times does a good job of explaining the pros and cons of the competing universal healthcare proposals from Obama and McCain. The Times concludes: “Mr. Obama’s plan is the better one because it would cover far more of the uninsured, spread risks and costs more equitably and result in more comprehensive coverage for most Americans. We fear Mr. McCain’s plan would jeopardize employer-based coverage without providing an adequate substitute. At a time when so many employers are reducing or dropping coverage, that is not a risk that the country can afford to take.”
