Top Stories from Health & Wellness on AlterNet
November 3rd, 2008

___________________________________________________________
>From the editors:
Tomorrow's the big day -- a chance for millions of voters to make a statement
about the issues that matter the most to them, like health care. A combination
of income inequality and lack of universal health care has left America with
declining life expectancies, out-of-control obesity and, generally, abysmal
world health rankings. Providing universal health care is arguably the most
crucial step a more progressive administration can take to heal the country,
writes Sara Robinson in this week's top Health & Wellness story. That's because
having coverage for all would do more than just improve health; it would make a
statement about the good government can do and show that it makes little sense
for people to just go it alone when, in fact, we can do so much more if we work
together. If we're lucky, that hope will become reality sooner than we think.
And if you still have some last-minute unanswered questions about how the
candidates differ on health care, check out our handy voter guide below.
Thanks for reading and see you at the polls!
