I have been reading the Health Care plans of the candidates and I have written pretty detailed posts about Obama’s & Clinton’s. Last week Rudy Giuliani started talking about his so I wanted to note why I haven’t done the same for the Republican former mayor as I have for the two Democratic Senators.

Frankly the Giuliani plan had almost no details other than he wouldn’t give you Universal Health Care, wouldn’t figure out what to do with the uninsured BUT would provide tax incentives for individuals to deduct the cost of private plans with the idea that Americans seeking private insurance would take the burden off of employers.

The problem is he provided no information on how he would fund such a system.

Now I have been and will continue to be critical of the enormous price tags that will result from the Edwards & Obama plans but as Media Matters points out some reporting has gone after the Dem plans as big government spending machines but have ignored the price tag and the lack of explanation of a Giuliani plan. The Democrats on the other hand have indicated they would roll back the Bush tax plans as one way of paying for theirs. The problem is they also have other plans on how to spend that money and the numbers don’t entirely add up.

In short there is little substance to the Giuliani plan which is why I haven’t written more.
