Live blogging the breakout session from the Earn the Vote discussion at BlogHer. The group broke into different groups to discuss healthcare, environment, Iraq, and ecomonics. The goal is to come up with the top three questions that candidates need to address on each issue.
Top 3 Healthcare Questions
- How do you intend to ration care? How are we going to allocate resources?
- How do you intend to make sure that everyone get health insurance?
- How do we get birth-control universally covered in health insurance?
Additional healthcare questions asked by the small group
- How do we allocate fairly?
- When will we achieve mental health parity?
- Insurance dictating to the doctors the choice of treatment?
- How will we make better health policies without partisan politicization?
- Getting the science into healthcare and the politics out of it?
- Getting the candidates to actually reveal a healthcare plan instead of a dancing around specifics in the debates.
- What about long-term care and disability?
- What is family-friendly healthcare policy? What is good for children? What is good for families? Let's build policies around that?
