Forbes puts it well in their article this week: it isn't national security that's keeping Americans awake at night these days, it's "a sick child or an elderly relative with an urgent health problem;" it's a lack of affordable health insurance.

And the candidates know it. Whether it's Clinton's universal plan, Obama's mandate for children, or McCain's tax incentives, today's presidential hopefuls know that affordable health insurance is of utmost importance to American citizens. The concern is this: will any of them follow through?

There are critics on all sides to suggest that even if they do, the new insurance ideas will fail. They say that Clinton's plan will be too expensive, that Obama's plan doesn't do enough, and that McCain's plan amounts to price control and won't incentivize enough people.

But whether we try one of them, or all of them, millions of people are waiting for an affordable health insurance plan that they can rely on to protect themselves and their loved ones. In November the people will choose the candidate that they believe will best represent their needs to the health care system. With all of the attention it's been receiving in the media and around the country, something will have to be done.

And that's the best health insurance news we've heard in a very long time.
