You forget, that Bill Clinton was going to fix the healthcare system in the U.S. Remember Hillary was going to help. How long ago was that? Politicians talk, Come ON!

I don’t remember the minor differences because they won’t be important in the end - either plan would be changed a lot in negotiations to get it through Congress. I think that Clinton’s plan was clearer about mandating coverage for everyone, but that Obama’s comes reasonably close.

Interesting question.. the answers are like playing telephone they range from pretty accurate to completely wrong. Green Pagan nailed it best..
one thing though, Obama’s plan would have mandatory aspects to it. It’s very similar to what they have in Mass, Children, MUST be covered, else parents face a fine (which is really a drag) ..
further, both rely on making insurance providers adjust their rates and ultimately lower premiums… I **** to say it, but that’s liable to be a can of worms and depending on how much cooperation we get from the Insurance industry will have everything to do with how affordable it’ll end up being for the population…

I really don’t know because Obama has not really produced a plan yet. All he has is an outline of what he would like to do. The first mistake Hillary made with her initial plan was in believing that she was smart enough to do it without expert involvement. The first plan was produced without one medical or insurance person on the planning board. The document was heavy enough to break a coffee table if dropped on it and both parties universally agreed that it made no sense whatsoever. If Obama is going to produce a plan hopefully he will at least learn from these mistakes and produce something that can actually be debated on subject matter..

The basic difference between the two was that Hillary’s plan called for insurance to be mandated, meaning you had to take the government offered plans (there were several choices). Under Obama’a plan he does not mandate the plan. If you wish to keep your current plan you are free to do so.

the difference is that Obama is the president and Hillary is ******* her thumb, so her plan won’t get the same consideration as his plan.
either way, both plans are stupid.

The Hillary Bush Swartznager plan is to Criminalize not having Insurance. Anyone without insurance would be arrested and sent to a labor camp.

The Obama plan is to force Medical Professionals to treat everyone under the same threat. They would be arrested and sent to labor camps if they refused to treat someone that could not pay.

Obama’s changed everytime he spoke.

don’t get that figure in your head because you know damn well that won’t be the plan when all said and done. I doubt there will be any plan for health care. You will probably be lucky to have any at all.

Obama’s plan does not involve any amount of mandatory participation…

Hillary’s plan is similar - but she recognized that people who want Insurance companies to rule the day would exploit any loophole you give them… so she required more mandatory participation on the part of all healthcare providers who accept government funds.
