The future of health care in the United States — access, cost, and quality — is a critical issue in the 2008 presidential election. On September 12, senior health policy advisors — David Cutler of Harvard University for Democrat Barack Obama and Gail Wilensky of Project HOPE for Republican John McCain — discussed their candidates' positions on health care reform in a symposium cosponsored by the Journal and the Harvard School of Public Health. The debate was moderated by Arnold Epstein, of the Journal and the Department of Health Policy and Management at HSPH, and featured questions from a distinguished panel of experts: Karen Davis of the Commonwealth Fund, Jon Kingsdale of the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority, and Thomas Lee of Partners HealthCare and the Journal.
A video of the symposium, along with comments from readers, can be seen at www.nejm.org.
