As part of its ongoing effort to inform debate about healthcare issues in the 2008 presidential election, the Kaiser Family Foundation has released an interactive online tool to compare the healthcare proposals of presidential candidates. The tool, 2008 Presidential Candidate Health Care Proposals: Side-by-Side Summary, summarizes positions in four overall categories: access to healthcare coverage, cost containment, improving the quality of care, and financing.
The online tool allows users to customize side-by-side comparisons by selecting as many as four candidates for comparison that can then be formatted into a printer-friendly format. Users will also be able to print out documents comparing all the Democratic candidates and all the Republican candidates.
