...sure, Bush inherited a huge gap in Medicaid enrollment from his Democratic predecessor. When Bush took over in 1995, Medicaid officials failed to reach about 30% of eligible children, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan Washington group. The percentage grew as Texas families, forced off cash assistance by new welfare laws, were not told that their children still qualified for Medicaid.

That was one of the first and most often made observations by TIME's Board of Economists when asked to weigh the presidential candidates' competing programs in the national balance. David Wyss, the nonpartisan chief economist of Standard & Poor, prices Bush's and Gore's tax and spending plans at around $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years.
