    Today NESRI, along with the National Health Law Program, releases a
human rights assessment of the presidential nominees' health care plans
entitled, *Human Right to Health Care: Nominees' Plans Lag Behind Public
Demands*.  The nominees' plans currently rely on market competition to solve
the current health care crisis, without addressing how markets could be
incentivized to put health protection ahead of profits.  The assessment
compares the plans and suggests some basic steps the nominees could take
towards meeting human rights standards.
