Online guides to candidates' health policy positions

Here are a couple of online guides to presidential candidates' positions on health care reform.

The Kaiser Family Foundation offers Health08.org.

The Association of Health Care Journalists has posed journalists' questions to candidates. At this point only three have responded, but all responses are posted online.

WebMD has a "Health Matters in the 2008 Election" section.

This is not a complete list - just a few that caught my eye with features many people may find helpful.

Could you help me, explaining why this is part of your election part and why voters depend on these sites?

In The Netherlands this would not happen this easy/quick...

Many thanks,

I can't say that voters depend on these sites.

But I hope they do.

If voters depended on some traditional media, they would not have sufficient information to be informed voters.
