John McCain or Barack Obama: who is more suitable to be the next US president? These two have been competing and doing their best out of themselves to get the trust of the people. Of course, they have a very different personality from each other. They have different views for a better world for the future.
McCain has an attitude of a captain. Being experienced at war, he has become a trustworthy leader. He’s always alert and ready for all of the problems that he must face for that has been always the flow of his life. After he retired from the Navy as a captain, he entered politics. McCain at times has had a media reputation as a "maverick" for having disagreed with his party.
Barack put law school and corporate life on hold after college and moved to Chicago in 1985, where he became a community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment. The group had some success, but Barack had come to realize that in order to truly improve the lives of people in that community and other communities, it would take not just a change at the local level, but a change in our laws and in our politics.
Health care is one of the priorities of these two candidates. Well, basically, it’s one of the greatest poblems in the whole world.
“...Government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid should lead the way in health care reforms that improve quality and lower costs. Medicare reimbursement now rewards institutions and clinicians who provide more and more complex services. We need to change the way providers are paid to focus their attention more on chronic disease and managing their treatment. …” John McCain said concerning health care problems.
These are some plans of Obama for the Health problems:
• Making available a new national health program that will allow individuals and small businesses to buy
affordable health care similar to that available to federal employees. No one will be turned away or
charged more due to illness, and everyone who needs it will receive a subsidy for their premiums.
• Making available a National Health Insurance Exchange to reform the private insurance market. Any
American could enroll in participating private plans, which would have to provide comprehensive
benefits, issue every applicant a policy, and charge fair and stable premiums.
• Ensuring all of the 9 million currently uninsured children have affordable, high-quality health coverage
Concerning security jobs, they also have different views on how to solve it.
John McCain Believes We Should Have A Single, Seamless Approach To Job Transition Assistance. The UI system must be more effective in helping those who have lost a job. John McCain will modernize and transform our current programs by consolidating redundant federal programs, strengthening community colleges and technical training and giving displaced workers more choices to find their way back to productive and prosperous lives.
Strengthen workers' rights -- Barack Obama believes that the right of workers to join together in unions is a fundamental human right. As President, he would support workers' rights by banning the permanent replacement of striking workers, increasing funding for the protection of workers' health and safety on the job, punishing corporations who violate workers' rights, and ensuring workers' freedom to organize by passing the Employee Free Choice Act.
And last but not the least, they’ve also taken part on how to solve terrorism.
McCain advocates high tech solutions to increase military capabilities, such as missile defense and other advanced weapons systems, an increase in the size of the U.S. armed forces, and doctrinal change to confront 21st century warfare. "A new mix of military forces, including civil affairs, special operations, and highly mobile forces …"
This is what Obama thinks:
By refusing to end the war in Iraq, President Bush is giving the terrorists what they really want, and what the Congress voted to give them in 2002: a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences...
When I am President, we will wage the war that has to be won, with a comprehensive strategy with five elements: getting out of Iraq and on to the right battlefield in Afghanistan and Pakistan; developing the capabilities and partnerships we need to take out the terrorists and the world's most deadly weapons; engaging the world to dry up support for terror and extremism; restoring our values; and securing a more resilient homeland.
