A related NEJM editorial discusses the wellness care proposals of presumptive presidential nominees Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and questions whether any "meaningful health care reform" will withdraw shape in the following administration. The editorial also calls for a "concentrated effort by all the major stakeholders in our health attention system, as represented by the panelists," to impart about reform (NEJM [2], 8/21).
"The Partisan Divide -- The McCain and Obama Plans for U.S. Health Care Reform," NEJM: In an NEJM perspective, Jonathan Oberlander, an associate prof of social medicine and health policy and establishment at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, examines the health plans of presidential candidates McCain and Obama.

He adds that the plans "are best viewed as sketches rather than finished portraits, with many important inside information yet to be revealed." He concludes, "The candidates' opposing visions of wellness care reform reflect fundamentally different assumptions about the virtues and vices of markets and government. With the debate over how to reform U.S. health care far from settled, whoever wins the presidency can anticipate fierce opponent to whatever attempt at comprehensive regenerate" (Oberlander, NEJM, 8/22).
