True or False?
There've been a lot of charges and counter changes flying between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on health care. His plan would allegedly leave out 15 million people; hers is more expensive. He put out a misleading flyer; she's misrepresenting his plan.
The issues came up again in Tuesday's debate between the two in Cleveland, Ohio. If you're feeling confused about them and want to try and sort out fact from fiction, here are a few places you can start.
The St. Petersburg Times web site has a feature called PolitiFact that dissects statements made by the candidates, including health care. Another site, factcheck.org, examined a flyer put out by Obama that criticized Clinton's health care plan.
And if you're interested in mandates, you can read our Q&A on the subject, along with a detailed look at the candidate's plans.
The good news for voters is that health care issues have been getting serious attention in the debates. That's definitely a step in the right direction.
