Healthy debate

An interesting piece on the somewhat minor distinctions between the Clinton and Obama healthcare plans in Salon. As I’ve written before, the mandates included in the Clinton plan make it more comprehensive, though as Paul Krugman points out, it is likely that Obama will have to add the mandates at a later date. This, and Clinton’s repeated response that much of her plan would have to be hashed out in Congress, make them almost indistinguishable.

In any case, both are leaps and bounds better than the plan that John McCain is pushing.
