Health Care and the 2004 Elections
** Update: For information on health care and the 2008 election, visit www.health08.org. **
Health care issues continue to be important for many Americans and a vital part of the policy debates in Washington and around the country. During an election season, candidates propose and debate their solutions for the pressing policy issues facing their constituents. The 2004 election season is no different and the Kaiser Family Foundation is issuing informational materials on some of the health policy issues that are of concern to the American public.
Over the next few weeks several background issue briefs and presidential candidate comparisons will be made available. For more detailed information, the Foundation has many other resources that are available via links on this page or on other parts of our website.
