If a Democrat is elected president, the progressive mass movement should use the opportunity to move beyond their compromised health care plans to push for Medicare For All.

Hillary Clinton has many admirable qualities, but candor and openness and transparency and a commitment to well-established fact have not been notable among them.

With both candidates in agreement on a broad range of issues, the two rivals appear to be hoping that late-deciding voters will support the candidate who offers the best dental.

Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama agree on the goal of making health insurance both affordable and universal. The difference is that Sen. Clinton's plan will achieve both of these objectives while Sen. Obama's will achieve neither.

There's no reason to hope that every man, woman and child in our country will be covered under Obama's plan because that's not what he intends to do.

I am puzzled by the shrillness of your columns about Obama, and your rather exclusive focus on individual mandates as the litmus test for a progressive politician.

If Hillary becomes the Democratic nominee, the Obama campaign has just packaged an ad that could be used, essentially unedited, by the Republicans next fall.

The most interesting thing that showed up on the Healthcare08 PoliGraph jumped out in plain red and blue. Several Republicans held positions in the blue zone on some healthcare issues. Not so for Democrats.

It's long past time to wrench control of our health out of the hands of CIGNA and Blue Cross and return it to where it belongs, to the medical professionals in consultation with patients and their families.

As long as we allow them to, our leaders will offer us small solutions to big problems. The US health care system has class IV hemorrhaging and our leaders are tossing us band-aids.

It's time, Sen. Obama, for you to explain your inconsistent record and your apparent double standard.

If there's anyone in the race whose history shows unique courage and character, it's Obama. HRC's campaign, by contrast, is singularly lacking in conviction about anything.

The whole health care dust-up among Clinton, Obama and Edwards makes clear why Individual Mandate plans are likely to end up being as big a political disaster as Hillary's 1994 health reform fiasco.

Overall, a universal insurance mandate is bad public policy compared to universal single payer health care: It's a colossal waste of money.

In spite of the fact that during the time of Bill Hillary was ready to take a hatchet to the insurance companies, now the insurance companies are falling over themselves to shower her with dollars.

Every time she opens her mouth, her flat, monotonic voice lays out yards of opaque white gauze, muffling any possibility of "discourse."

The plan is a smorgasbord of the worst elements of what we've seen and heard elsewhere.

It was only after the press conference when things got squirrelly and reminded me once again that this is still a Clinton campaign.
