In case you haven’t been following the candidates, there are still three standing. All three have completely different standing when in comes to the healthcare system. The three candidates have each developed a different plan that can appeal to 3 different types of individuals. 

            For instance if you are a complete liberal, love government regulations, and want to use your hard earned dollars to pay for others, than Hillary Clinton is your candidate. She has proposed a health insurance system that would create a government law that mandates that every single American citizen obtain health insurance. If you refuse, rather than just taking the risk of living without health insurance, you will also receive a fine of some sort. The system creates a huge benefit for health insurance companies. Their client base will grow drastically as a mandate would force individuals to purchase health insurance. Although the mandates would also restrict the health insurance companies from denying any person of coverage. I would assume this would have a common effect of other states that guarantee health insurance to all citizens. Such as New Jersey, New Jersey health insurance premiums are sky high compared to other states. 

            The Obama plan is somewhat less drastic than Hillary’s. His plan would only mandate that all children obtain health insurance. The mandates imposed by both democratic candidates would help to decrease the 47 million people living without health insurance but this would not necessarily create a more affordable version of healthcare. 

            The final version, a right winged version; will lift government regulations by allowing individuals and businesses to purchase health insurance across state lines. This will give those living with New Jersey Health Insurance an opportunity to buy a much more affordable Connecticut Health Insurance without living in the state of Connecticut. This plan will open up the market to a wider base of consumer, which in turn can create a frenzy of competition. States with low insurance rates will be fighting to grow their client base by covering citizens from other states. By limiting government regulations, John McCain hopes to create a free market creating more competition between health insurance carriers.
