Bill Bradley in U.S. News and World Report


On Health Care: Alter tax code to make health insurance more affordable

Changing the tax code [for health reform is] part of Bradley’s proposal. Employers get tax breaks, totaling $100 billion a year, when they purchase health insurance for their workers. But individuals who buy insurance on their own get little help. That’s one reason insurance is often unaffordable.

On Principles & Values: Emphasizes positions on left

Not all of Bradley’s positions are to the left, but he has emphasized those that are. He has proposed a far-reaching new health insurance plan, favors allowing open gays in the military, and, in his search for racial reconciliation, appeared at a meeting convened by the racial demagogue Al Sharpton. Bradley seems to be starting off with common premises and trying to advance a consensus. But Bradley’s consensus may be too far left for voters.
