These questions came from people who have serious healthcare problems or have people close to them who do: What are you prepared to do to fight Alzheimer's? How would you address chronic disease? What would you do to make low-cost or free preventive medicine available? How will you include the disabled in your health plan?
Barack Obama: "My mother, when she was between jobs, contracted cancer," and she spent the last days of her life trying to figure out how to pay for care. "We've got to have a president who's willing to fight" the healthcare industry to make sure they don't have "veto power."
John Edwards: Obama's plan "just doesn't cover everybody." He complained the politicians have talked about health care too long without standing up to insurance companies and drug companies.
Hillary Clinton: She said it is "a national disgrace" that people like those in the videos still struggle to get the care they need. Clinton said everyone should be covered.
