Not only that her husband's hedge fund lost more than half the money. I believe he sent out a letter said he made the wrong bet. I'm afraid this family is full of corruption.

Still shaking my head over this entire incident.

Most Ds (80% last I saw) *do* want to see all the current separate medical programs dismantled and rolled into one. So why did Clinton attack Sanders for wanting what most Ds want? It's very hard to see a sensible political strategy here...

Why didn't Clinton talk about financing a universal program instead? So far, that's Sanders' weak spot.
I know, I never thought I'd see Hillary Clinton argue against universal health care. This is, indeed, a strange election cycle.

No he didn't....well, it's hard to say as you can't really believe much of what he says but he continued to say all during his campaign that he was not going to institute single payer. If he had wanted it, Obamacare still passed without a single (R) vote and if it was as simple as that, single payer could have been done the same way.

Obama's Approach: Private and Public Group Insurance with Consumer Protections and Income-Based Subsidies. Senator Obama has proposed a plan for universal coverage that would build on the current system of mixed private and public group insurance. Some of its features are similar to the universal coverage law now being implemented in Massachusetts. All employers, other than small businesses, would be required to offer health insurance to their employees or contribute to the cost. Eligibility for Medicaid and SCHIP would be expanded. Small businesses, self-employed individuals, and people who do not have coverage through their employers, Medicaid, or SCHIP would be able to purchase a plan through a new insurance market called the National Health Insurance Exchange. Through this exchange, people could choose a private plan or a new public plan similar to that offered to federal employees and members of Congress. All insurance carriers would be required to offer plans to all applicants and could not charge premiums based on health status. Small businesses would be eligible for tax credits to offset their premium costs and individuals would be eligible for income-based premium subsidies. Obama has not yet defined the size of eligible small businesses and those not subject to the requirement to offer coverage.

The 2008 Presidential Candidates' Health Reform Proposals: Choices for America - The Commonwealth Fund

One has to get a kick out of Krugman's explanation.

But the big difference is mandates: the Clinton plan requires that everyone have insurance; the Obama plan doesn’t.
