As it's reported at the Kaiser Daily Report, Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) said that he would seek to increase federal funds for cancer research by as much as three times the current level of $6 billion as part of an effort to eliminate deaths from the disease in 10 years.
And former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) said that the U.S. health care system should focus more on preventive care and healthy lifestyles. And the best way to achieve this? Well, that would be more affordable health insurance.
Good medical coverage provides the kind of checkups and facet-to-face guidance with doctors that prevent diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. These 3 sicknesses account for the premature deaths of millions of Americans, and are often entirely preventable.
When it came to affordable health insurance both candidates agreed on one thing, that "health insurance proposals offered by Democratic presidential candidates would prove less effective than proposals to improve the affordability of and access to private coverage." Whether or not that's true remains to be seen, but so long as there is change on the horizon, there's hope that affordable medical coverage is on the way to the 47 million uninsured people in this country.
