U.S. Senate candidates Tina Smith and Jason Lewis debate

John Kerry and George W. Bush debate for the last time on Wednesday, and the topic is domestic policy. One of the biggest issues in that arena this year is the soaring cost of health care. Both of the candidates have plans for dealing with the problem, and they're quite different. Bush is emphasizing tax-free personal health savings accounts and medical malpractice reform. Kerry is offering to subsidize employer-based health insurance for the cost of catastrophic care and to give individuals access to the same health care plan available to many government employees.

Where do the presidential candidates stand on health care?
