Issues abound about health
care quality in the US. A
recent report about unequal
quality of care for blacks in
nursing homes adds an
unfortunate dimension to the
health care debate. While
many believe universal health
care is the answer including
'Sicko' director Michael
Moore, presidential candidates
Senator Hillary Clinton and
Senator Barack Obama;
presidential candidate Mayor
Rudy Giuliani and conservative
opinion leaders like Bill
O'Reilly disagree. United
States taxpayers are eager to
see how Congress, President
Bush, and presidential
hopefuls will address health
care reform in the future.
Other health care proposals
include a joint
employer/government subsidized
system like John Edwards', a
market-based system like Mitt
Romney's, a prevention focused
plan like Mike Huckabee, and
an alternative health care
affordability plan to be
revealed by John McCain.
While presidential candidates,
congress, political pundits,
and opinion leaders have an
important voice in the health
care debate, the consumer
voice is the most powerful
when raised with knowledge and
informed advocacy. Both the
government mandated and
market-based plans require
sound consumer knowledge to
ensure quality of care. Pope
