Health Care
CWA asked all presidential candidates the following question in the CWA candidate questionnaire:
Please tell us how you would fund universal health care so that it would make U.S. jobs more competitive and not disadvantage those employers who currently provide health care benefits to their employees.
Democrats
Hillary Clinton
 |
On Health Care: I’m going to provide universal health care -- quality, affordable coverage for every American. We can do it by spending our health care dollars more wisely.
|
Barack Obama
 |
On Health Care: Every American has the right to affordable, comprehensive and portable health coverage. My plan will guarantee coverage through partnerships among employers, private health plans, the federal government and states.

Mike Gravel

On Health Care: Despite repeated attempts, Ronald Paul did not respond to the CWA questionnaire with his position on health care.

Republicans
John McCain
 |
On Health Care: Despite repeated attempts, John McCain did not respond to the CWA questionnaire with his position on health care. However, Sen. McCain has routinely ignored the issue of America's health care crisis throughout his campaign. His plan will force working families out into the private market to fend for themselves, and will chip away at employer-based health care. In addition, Sen. McCain has voted to slash funding for Medicare.

Mike Huckabee
 |
On Health Care: Despite repeated attempts, Mike Huckabee did not respond to the CWA questionnaire with his position on health care.
|
Ron Paul
 |
On Health Care: Despite repeated attempts, Ronald Paul did not respond to the CWA questionnaire with his position on health care.
