How Super Tuesday will Effect Future Health Plans

Millions of Americans anxiously awaited the results of Super Tuesday. Many of them tuned in mainly because they are interested in knowing how the health insurance industry will change when the new president takes over. While it is still difficult to say who will win each party's nomination, it is becoming a bit clearer to some.

On the Democratic front, most experts agree that Super Tuesday did not do much for clearing things up. Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama put on a good show, and are running virtually neck and neck. If you are a big fan of Clinton's universal health plan coverage, you have reason to be worried. The longer that Obama stays in the race, the better things will begin to look for him. Of course, you may not like the fact that Obama is not sold on the idea of universal health care.

If you are a Republican, you are probably more interested in John McCain, Mike Huckabee, and Mitt Romney. Unlike the Democratic race, it appears that McCain is the clear favorite for the nomination. He dominated Super Tuesday, and is hoping to lock things up over the next few weeks. Romney fell off last night due in large part to a strong showing my Huckabee. In fact, it appears at this point that Huckabee is now number two in the race. There is a large influx of people who feel that Huckabee will be McCain's running mate.

McCain's health plan is focused more on tax credits for families and individuals. This is almost the complete opposite of what the Democrats are hoping to achieve should Clinton or Obama win the presidency.

Super Tuesday did not eliminate any candidates, but it definitely separated them in the Republican race. By the end of February, it will be a bit easier to see which two candidates will be dueling it out for the right to lead the country for the next four years.
