After seven years of the political drama known as "Obamacare," you might think voters would be tired of big ideas for revamping health care. If so, the presidential candidates seem to have missed the memo. The 2016 hopefuls in both parties are offering a full spectrum of options, from a system wholly run by the federal government to dialing back Washington's lead role. Much is promised by the candidates, but each approach has pitfalls. (Alonso-Zaldivar, 10/2)

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders supports allowing some of the nation's undocumented immigrants to obtain health-care coverage under the Affordable Care Act, he told Democratic lawmakers on Thursday. The Vermont senator, who is running a competitive race against Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, made the comments during a 45-minute meeting with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, according to attendees.

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is pledging to vastly expand the country’s use of a costly drug that can reverse the effects of a heroin overdose. “I want it to be in more places than law enforcement. It needs to be on college campuses, it needs to be in workplaces, it needs to be in community centers,” she told a packed crowd at an event in Boston. (Ferris, 10/1)

It’s the thought that counts. As the 2016 campaign has launched into high gear over the past few months, so has another season: that of prank giving. Planned Parenthood – which provides women’s health services, including abortions — has received over a thousand individual donations in the names of politicians who oppose abortion and have been calling for the defunding of the organization. Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), former Hewlett Packard executive Carly Fiorina, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee are among some of the most popular honorees, according to Planned Parenthood. Mr. Cruz is far and away the most popular donor, at 442 donations to Ms. Fiorina’s 83, Mr. Huckabee’s 77 and Mr. Bush’s 70, the group says. (Court, 10/1)
