2008 Presidential Campaign

The AAFP continues to work to put health care and place family medicine issues in front of presidential candidates. The AAFP has launched an initiative to help members become informed about and active in the 2008 Presidential Campaign. Here you will find helpful and timely materials so that you can bring a family medicine perspective to health policy in the campaigns at state and local campaign events.

As a recent Kaiser Health Tracking Poll found, health care is a top domestic issue in the 2008 election. Thus, the Kaiser Family Foundation has created a new resource - health08.org - to provide analysis of health policy issues, regular public opinion surveys, and news and video coverage from the campaign trail.
