Veep Debate Fact Check

Friday, October 03, 2008
 
For the record, Obama's plan does NOT mandate health coverage, as Gov. Palin suggested last night. That was the big "difference'' between his plan and the Clinton plan.

Also, McCain's plan would leave an additional 20 million uninsured, not 5 million as Gwen Ifill had suggested. Biden later corrected this point. It's significant because -- in context -- it would result in a 150% increase in the uninsured.

That's all I can remember, at this very moment, that annoyed me (on health care specifically)....I guess ....other than the fact that Palin didn't answer the question about why the McCain health care plan would increase taxes on the middle class.

Here's a side-by-side of the two plans, by the way.
