Universal Health Care

Today's WSJ editorial HillaryCare v. Obama looks at the difference between Clinton's and Obama's national health care schemes.  “ "Universal" health care is of course a major Democratic issue, and Mr. Obama laid out a proposal in May, Mrs. Clinton in September. Both plans create a public insurance option managed by the government. Both plans impose more stringent regulations on insurance companies, and both institute new taxes on business. ” Sen. Clinton In common Sen. Hussein Obama Dictates that everyone have health insurance In theory, such a law would force everyone to sign up for health insurance -- either through their employers, a private plan or a government option -- or otherwise pay penalties. Only require the coverage of children. Whatever the minor policy differences among Democrats, their major domestic ambition this campaign season is the government takeover of the health-care market. The Republican nominee will need a free-market alternative, and a way of explaining it that is more concise and compelling than we've heard so far.  [I'd say that pretty much eliminates Romney.]
