John McCain wants better and cheaper coverage for more Americans. So do Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. But their strategies for achieving those goals are fundamentally different.

If Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton wins, more people would get their insurance from the government -- with many workers offered the equivalent of Medicare and employers facing new coverage mandates.
