If Healthcare is one of your main concerns:
VOTE FOR HILLARY

She is the one who is willing to fight.

Obama is ready to throw the whole idea under the bus with his right wing talking points. If he is willing to do that to pick up a few votes, do you think he has the fortitude to really make change in this area? If anything it tells me all there is to know about him and Healthcare.

1. MassDemm I like her Healthcare plan the best
So I'm wondering if Obama is the nominee and goes on to win in november would he open to working with Hillary on a solid healthcare plan or would he be closed to any suggestions or changes to his plan? Just curious.

3. If he isn't willing to take on the issue in the very friendly primary, then I think you have your
answer.

5. Obama "work with Hillary" - she's at the table just below the ins co's and GOP bi-partisans-but only
if Michelle Obama thinks about it and agrees.

10. Hillary's plan is a close cousin of Edwards plan - both lead to single payer

4. I agree - but I have given up - Obama folks on DU are like the election "reform" that rejected the
only audit bill that had a chance of passage -

pointless to worry about what one can't change.

But I do enjoy the irony that the "change and vision" choice, Obama, is most certainly going to stop real change.

At least Barney Frank, my congressman, is smart and a real progressive (and has endorsed Hillary).

9. It's not so surprising really...
when you take into accout how few seem to grasp the concepts of single-payer and shared risk.

8. Obama has basically conceded the point on mandates, his plan
is to wait until the system gets fucked up worse to do them and to try and back charge people who didn't join up in the first place.

I think this is just a stellar idea. NOT.
