Bush Might Have Won the Campaign, But Gore Should Win the Election This has been the strangest of American election campaigns; the most exciting in 40 years in terms of the closeness of the contest, yet one in which both major candidates have utterly failed to capture the national imagination. The lead in the polls has changed hands half a dozen times since September and, even at this late stage, ...
He wants to make the health care plan better for those who have one and provide a health care plan for those who do not. Within four years he wants to make health care available for every child. He spoke of tax credit for individual health plans and an encouragement to businesses to give health care twenty-five percent credit. Bush: Bush is oppose to a national health care system.
He stated that in the eight years that Clinton and Gore served nothing was done about medicare or social security. Bush also believes that Gore s plans for healthcare cannot be carried out with our country s budget and Bush believes Gore is a big spender. Bush stated how he provided health care for everyone in Texas and how a national health care plan would fail. My Opinion: I feel as though both candidates were pushing to get all of the issues in within this last debate and that made them not have much backup for all of their statements. I think this was just a playground argument between the two candidates. They both were trying to say they were the better candidate but they truly did not give us a reason why.
Both candidates seemed to have some optimistic ideas for America but I just don t see how some of their bills and plans would ever work. Although the debate did not show a good turnout for me I still feel as though Gore has more intelligence on his behalf and has exactly what America needs to expand us technologically.
