However, John McCain feels differently. He only wants to lower the prices of healthcare by introducing cheaper drugs and cheaper care for chronic diseases. John McCain's focus is also viewed towards smokers and believes more places should be introduced for smokers to quit, however, I believe that should be the least of his worries and he should be focusing on the 47 million people in America without healthcare.

Political Issues -Which candidate best stands on the issue?
Healthcare is one of the most important issues in the Presidential Election. I believe if the country elects Barack Obama, healthcare will be issued to everyone. Currently there are 47 million people lacking health care and Obama has a huge plan to ease this problem. He wants all people 18 and under to have required health care. He also wants to issue Comprehensive Benefits which will cover all essential medical services, including maternity, preventive and mental health care. Financial aid will also be issued to those who did not receive it before, as well as simplified paperwork that makes it easier for the people. Barack Obama claims it will be an easy enrollment process and provide ready access to healthcare coverage. Barack says no person will be turned away because of pre-illnesses or conditions. He wants seventy five percent of the total health care dollars to be spent on patients with one or more chronic conditions, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.
