Head to head on health care

I sometimes have a hard time keeping my mouth shut. I admit it. But I'll do my best to talk politics without adding my own (obsessive, extreme and obnoxious) opinions. And I won't even tell you whose name I ironed across the back of underwear for my friends, mom, boyfriend...and yes, maybe on a shirt for my dog.

But, no matter whose side you're on, a good fight is a good fight. Especially when the result could make our country -- and people -- healthier ("could" being the operative word here).

McCain's and Obama's plans are pretty much night and day, and, of course neither are perfect. John won't get more people insured; Barack won't save any money. But some good things could definitely happen.

Lots of organizations have put together great materials comparing the candidates' health care plans -- check 'em out if you're embarrassed you're a little behind on the politics (or want to learn more):

Health08.org
(don't miss them chatting it up on YouTube)

HealthCare.com

WebMD

Have you seen any other good sites like these?

And yeah, I'll open that can of worms: What do you think about the plans?
