On the Road to Universal Health Care (and how Clinton is the only one who can get us there!)

I know there are those out there who have thrown in the towel, and I have foolishly been sitting on this post while I had "other things to do", but I'm not ready, and despite Obama's lead I think this Op-Ed is still pertinent: Clinton, Obama, Insurance. By: Paul Krugman

To summarize, for those of you that don't click, a report was put out by an MIT health care economist that showed that in order for heath care to truly be universal mandates are going to be necessary. As is stands Obama's health care plan will cost 80% as much as Clinton's plan but will only cover half as many people. And the unfortunate fact is that Obama has chosen to attack Clinton's proposed mandates with ads that will come back to get him when he finally concedes that mandates are necessary.

Another Obama fact that doesn't sit well with me:

"Obama says he is practicing a new kind of politics, but why has his PAC sloshed $698,000 to the campaigns of the superdelegates, according to the Center for Responsive Politics? Is giving Robert Byrd’s campaign $10,000 the kind of change we can believe in?" (Op-Ed by David Brooks)

I'm glad someone is calling Obama out for constantly touting change and then turning his head while his campaign continues to play the same old dirty games.

I'm going to go see Clinton speak in Boston on Sunday, if you're in the area you should come too. But either way you should donate at:
