ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and Democratic rival Joe Biden sparred over healthcare policy during their debate Thursday night in St. Louis.
Palin, Alaska's governor, said GOP presidential nominee John McCain is "proposing a $5,000 tax credit for families so that they can get out there and they can purchase their own healthcare coverage. And that's a smart thing to do. That's budget neutral."
