Over the course of the discussion on healthcare, Barack laid out the details of his plan:
As I travel around the country, this is the issue that will break your heart over and over again. ... So here is what my plan does. If you have health insurance, then you don't have to do anything. If you've got health insurance through your employer, you can keep your health insurance, keep your choice of doctor, keep your plan. The only thing we are going to try to do is lower costs so that those cost savings are passed on to you. ... If you don't have health insurance, then what we are going to do is to provide you the option of buying into the same kind of federal pool that both Senator McCain and I enjoy as federal employees, which will give you high quality care, choice of doctors at lower cost.
