The "Health Care 2008: Presidential Candidate Forums" will allow each Presidential candidate to discuss in detail his or her vision about health reform and the uninsured with a panel of leading health journalists from "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer," ABC News, National Public Radio, and The Wall Street Journal. The Forums are being organized by Families USA and the Federation of American Hospitals, produced by MacNeil-Lehrer Productions and hosted by the Kaiser Family Foundation in its Barbara Jordan Conference Center. The Foundation's health news and information site, kaisernetwork.org, will provide a live webcast of each forum. Shortly after the live webcast, an archived webcast, transcript and podcast will be available.

Viewers are welcome to submit questions for the presidential candidates. Questions will be presented to the panel of journalists for consideration. http://www.health08.org/presidentialforums/question.cfm
