Chamber Hosts Health Care Reform Debate

 

Representatives from the three presidential campaigns traded barbs as they offered differing visions of the future of the U.S. health care system at the annual meeting of the U.S. Chamber's Council on Small Business.

 

Dr. Nicole Lurie, Dr. Gail Wilensky, and Gene B. Sperling, representing the campaigns of Sen. Barack Obama (D), Sen. John McCain (R), and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D), respectively, took questions from U.S. Chamber members and debated which candidate had the best plan for moving the United States toward a health care system of higher quality, lower costs, and greater access for all Americans.

 

The April 16 webcast event attracted more than 400 online participants and a live audience of 150 at the Chamber's Washington, D.C., headquarters. The panel discussion kicked off the Chamber's America's Small Business Summit, April 16-18.
