Candidates offer rival health care plans in campaign
Bush pushes tax credits up to 2000 for families earning 30000 to buy private insurance and 500 million in grants for community health projects while Gore seeks broader government coverage. Experts say both proposals move health care onto the political agenda but warn many working poor would still struggle to afford care. Critics say tax credits may cover only a fraction of costs, leaving many uninsured.
