Clinton's health plan offers a choice between govt and private plans
If you want to save our health care system from collapes, take the time to understand the differences between Clinton and Obama's plans. They are very, very different.

If Obama's campaign is giving you wrong information about Clinton's plan, you have to ask yourself why he is willing to destroy a chance for health care reform just to score points in the primary.

If Obama wants to look better than Clinton on health care reform, he should improve his own plan to either match hers or offer one better. Otherwise he should just STFU on the issue.

3. Agreed....I'm undecided - there are things I dislike about Obama and Clinton but...
...I like Clinton's healthcare plan better. It is closer to the one Edwards had - and it's the only kind of plan that will work, I think.

Obamas - in my opinion - will not work. He's using the right-wing boogeyman talking point of "mandates are evil" to support his plan and to criticize all the others. He's not doing anyone - besides HIMself - any favors with this. His plan is bunk, IMO.

On other issues, I prefer Obama. On this one, I prefer Clinton.

Both of them suck for different reasons.

On healthcare though, Clinton and Edwards have the workable plans. Obama doesn't.

4. I think it is pretty obvious that Obama is not really serious about
universal health care. It is not his passion. His plan telegraphs that he is just going through the motions.

I see you are an Edward's supporter. Seems to me if John and Elizabeth see universal health care of primary concern in this country (and I believe they do) they would support Hillary over Obama.
