Obama & McCain proxies duke it out over health care at Harvard School of Public Health

David Cutler and Gail Wilensky spoke about health care reform on behalf of Obama and McCain, respectively, at a Harvard School of Public Health forum last week here in Boston.  Martha Bebinger at WBUR's Commonhealth summarizes the discussion of the two health reform plans.  Each candidate has, as they say, his own weltanschauung, which informs this portion of the debate as well as others.  Here's hoping the campaign coverage at large can return swiftly to focusing on the issues.

Update 9/28/08:  More on the candidates' health care platforms at Health Affairs: Obama, McCain and a roundtable.
