Schieffer asks the candidates if given the nation's economic situation, the candidates would rather now control costs rather than expand coverage.
Obama: Says it's the issue, as he travels the country, that continues to break his heart. Says his plan does both.
McCain: "It really is the escalating cost of health care that is inflicting pain on working families." I am convinced we need to do a lot of things. Put health care records online. Curb childhood obesity. Tax refund -- 5K -- to help people pay for their coverage. Says he wants to know how much Obama is going to fine citizens, like Joe, for not paying for coverage.
Obama: "I'm happy to talk to Joe if he's out there. Here's your fine. Zero."
