Clinton unveils health care plan
By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer 30 minutes ago

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday offered a sweeping health care reform plan to ensure coverage for all Americans with federal assistance to help defray the cost.

Thirteen years after her first effort was abandoned — but saying she still bore the scars from that failure, Clinton described her new plan as necessary to address the crisis of some 47 million uninsured.

"I believe everyone — every man, woman and child — should have quality, affordable health care in America," the New York senator told an audience in Iowa. She vowed to accomplish the goal in her first term.

Her original plan was an unprecedented initiative for a first lady. This time, she is offering a $110 billion a year program as a candidate for the presidency, in the leadoff state that is her toughest battleground. The health care plan came late in her primary campaign, after several rivals had already described their visions.

If she'd come out and say it's for "U.S. Citizens only" then fine, I'd support that but I don't want to pay for the millions of illegal aliens.
She needs to clarify this.

She does say "It's time to provide quality affordable health care for every American," but yeah, I hear you. Something specifically saying illegals won't get free health care would be nice.

She has purposed many health care plans before, many modeled after the Canadain Healthcare which has many problems, like long waiting times to see a Doctor, over a year. Her plan is also costly, it will actually as some say consume 10% of the Gross Domestic Product.
