Hillary's health care plan forces everyone to buy insurance, even if you can't afford it... and you pay a penalty if you don't.

The way Hillary Clinton's health care plan covers everyone is to have the government force uninsured people to buy insurance, even if they can't afford it.

"...forcing those who cannot afford health insurance to buy it through mandates...punishing those who don't fall in line with fines."
- The Daily Iowan, December 21, 2007

Punishing families who can't afford health care to begin with just doesn't make sense.

Barack Obama believes that it's not that people don't want health care, it's that they can't afford it.

Barack Obama believes Americans who don't have health care coverage desperately want it; they just can't afford to pay for it. That's why the Obama plan covers every American by reducing costs more than Hillary Clinton's, saving the typical family up to $2,500 per year.

    That's a Myth. There is a picture showing him saluting the american flag. You should educate yourself, and try to steer clear from gossip.

    The votes in Michigan were counted - they just don't count. That was the rules the voters of Michigan knew at the time they cast their ballots - and many usual die-hard democrats voted republican ballots - instead of voting for the only democratic contender on the ballot - Hillary Clinton. Remember the uncommitted vote was 40% - not a vote of confidence for her in Michigan. if the rules had not been such - as the democrat vote would not count - I believe the outcome would have been entirely different. I am in a position to know these are facts.
