Can Someone Translate This Into Simple Words? 10 Points For Best Answer!?

With health costs on the rise and more Americans than ever uninsured, health care is among the top domestic concerns of voters. Senators John McCain and Barack Obama have responded by making health reform proposals central to their platforms for the presidency.
The candidates share common ground that is worth noting. Most importantly, Senators McCain and Obama both recognize that controlling health care costs is paramount, and their plans tackle these costs in similar ways. They both promote increased access to information on the cost and quality of care, evidence-based medicine, health information technology and electronic prescribing, and medical malpractice reform. In addition, both proposals stress the importance of disease prevention and management.
Beyond these similarities, however, are fundamental and profound differences between the two candidates’ proposals. These differences concern how health care should be organized and paid for in the United States. Senator McCain’s plan eliminates the current tax breaks for employer-based coverage and shifts people into the individual insurance market without consumer protections. Senator Obama’s plan creates new insurance choices that will help hard-working middle income families obtain and pay for coverage and sets rules to make sure that insurers play fair. The distinctions between their plans are clear, and the following questions reflect 10 areas in which Senators McCain and Obama differ most dramatically.

    Heal care is a pressing issue in today’s politics. McCain’s plan was actually feasible. Obama’s plan was, and still is, not.

    Many people can’t afford health care. JM and BO consider changes to health care important.
    They both want to keep gov. costs of health care down in similar ways. They want to increase people’s access to good medicine.
    They disagree on how to fund their health care plans. JM wants people to insure themselves rather than their employers insuring them. He does not want to regulate health insurance very much.
    BO wants to raise access to health insurance for poorer people and regulate insurance more.

    This doesn’t seem to be a “language” question… looks more like homework perhaps?
    But put very very simply: may people are concerned about health care and Obama and McCain have different opinions on how to address this issue.

    basically, health care is important and both McCain and Obama have opinions on healthcare. they have the same idea but want to execute them in different ways.
