John Kerry's economic plan centres on increasing healthcare spending
and cutting the overall budget deficit - but it won't be easy, says

Senator John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate, has offered
his most detailed plans yet to halve the US budget deficit while
increasing spending on healthcare and education.
Healthcare is a major ingredient of Mr Kerry's programme. He wants to
extend health coverage to tens of millions of uninsured Americans
while reducing premiums for the insured - a proposal that will cost
$650bn (£357bn) over 10 years. He also wants to spend more than $200bn
on education.
