The Lancet: May 16, 2008

from Listen to The Lancet · host The Lancet

John McCain entered typical Democratic turf last month by announcing plans to reform health care in the USA if he is elected as the country's next president. His blueprint is one that may prove popular with employers, but will it impress voters? The thrust of McCain's plan is to replace employment-based health insurance schemes with tax credits—so individuals will have to 'shop around' for health cover. Todd Zwillich reports from Washington DC, and discusses McCain's proposals in this week's podcast.
