The candidates also debated the president's health care program, which some Americans call "Obamacare." Mr. Romney said it would hurt the economy and cost jobs.
The president said that when he took office, problems in the nation's health care system were just as urgent as the jobless rate. He said health costs drove government spending and troubled businesses and families.
In closing, Mr. Obama said he wants to build on the strengths of his first four years in the White House. Mr. Romney said re-electing the president would hurt the middle class. He promised to replace the country's new health care program and to create millions of new jobs.
The two candidates are to meet again October 16th.罗姆尼也宣称他不会降低高收入人群的应纳税额，但奥巴马却认为罗姆尼的税制改革计划起不到什么作用。
两位候选人还就被部分美国民众称为“奥巴马医改”的医保法案进行了辩论，罗姆尼称该法案将会对经济状况造成不利影响并冲击就业。
而奥巴马则称他上任时，美国的医保体系问题与失业问题同样亟待解决。医疗费用不仅大量消耗政府开支，对企业和家庭也是个沉重的负担。
辩论的最后，奥巴马称他希望能巩固自己四年里在白宫执政的良好政绩，而罗姆尼称再次让奥巴马当选总统的话将损害中产阶级利益。他承诺将着手改良美国最新的医保法案，并创造数百万个新的就业岗位。
两名候选人将在10月16日再次会面进行激辩。
