Difference between Obama's and Clinton's Health Plans?
Just wondering if anyone could point out the major differences between the two plans. I read the outlines of both plans, but they both seem pretty similar.

In order to have an effective resolution to your question, both parties- whether some people believe it or not - is that money has to come from somewhere, and most likely will be tapped from social security, pension plans, etc. There is no difference, just fancy words and mind you, this is neutrality.

Yeah, I mean Clinton preaches unniversal healthcare, but it's not really unniversal. It would just open up a single payer system with a mandate on healthcare. Where as Obama's has a mandate only for children. Both these plans are jokes. Both candidates don't offer any real solution to healthcare, because they're plans do not call to socialize healthcare. So really there's no difference between the 2.

Hillary wants universal healthcare, and Obama wants to lower the costs for healthcare.
They are very similar. However, even though Hillary's plan seems better on the surface, I would say that Obama's makes more sense because it would allow the people that actually want healthcare and can't afford it able to afford it. Hillary's doesn't make much sense because the only people who want it and don't have it are the people who can't afford it.

They are pretty similar. The main difference is that Hillary has already tried and failed to do this once. Obama has a much better chance of getting it done because he does not provoke as much of a backlash as Clinton does.

They should be, he used Hillary's plan as a basis for his own plan, that's a fact that is already commonly known.

Hillary's health care plan covers everyone unlike Barack's where you don't have to be covered if you don't want to be

Obama's is by choice so if you can't afford to pay the low wages then you won't be taxed into dept. Hillary's plan is mandatory so if you can't afford it you will be taxed into dept. He so obsessed with the fact of giving it to everybody she doesn't see the possibility of some not being able to afford it.
It's the same thing they have in Massachusetts many go to dept because of staggering mandatory health care.

As far as I can tell very little. She has been creating hers for a long time. It seems like he borrowed hers, made a few changes and called it his.

Simple, Hillary wants to garnish your wages. She wants to force you to pay for someone elses health insurance, and Obama does not.

He stole hers so not a lot in theory. With his millions still do not have any and with hers your forced. So they are both crap.
