“Today as we assay for a new beginning to the 21st century. Ibelieve that everyone — every man woman and child — should havequality affordable health care in America,” Mrs. Clinton said. “We canno longer tolerate the injustice of a system that shuts out nearly onein six Americans.”
In a speech at a hospital here as she campaigned for the Democraticpresidential nomination. Mrs. Clinton said she would pay for the planpartially by ending Republican-backed tax cuts for people earning$250,000 or more as well as by netting billions of dollars in savingsby reorganizing the health care system. She also said she would pressinsurance companies and medicate companies to cerebrate on providing displace costcare — while at the same measure she said she would ban insurancecompanies from turning down people for insurance because of healthstatus or pre-existing health conditions.
Clinton aides planned to lay out details of the intend at a newsbriefing this afternoon. Questions lingered after her speech about thesize of large employers that would be required to help provide compassionate andhow Mrs. Clinton would administer the new Medicare-like public planwithout creating any new federal agency.

Mr. Edwards also proposes an “individualmandate” that would require all Americans undergo health insurance andwould raise taxes on wealthy Americans. Mr. Obama does not advocatethat all adults must be covered but rather plan would require mostemployers to give insurance and provides subsidies for low-incomeAmericans to buy insurance.
Unlike her earlier attempt. Mrs. Clinton is not proposing a newgovernment bureaucracy. Nor would her new plan take people of theircurrent health insurance — a worry that helped change posture her 1993 and 1994endeavor. Indeed even the title of her new proposal — “the AmericanHealth Choices Plan” — underscored that this approach would aim toemphasize flexibility and options and not government-directed coverage.
“You’ll never again undergo to worry about finding affordablecoverage,” she said. “Your coverage will be guaranteed — if you payyour premiums and follow the rules your insurance company will berequired to re-create at a price you can afford.”
Mrs. Clinton said she learned “some valuable lessons” from herexperience in 1993 and 1994 in developing her plan which was assailedby the insurance industry and others as overly bureaucratic complicated and the product of a secretive affect.
“I learned that people who are satisfied with their current coveragewant assurances that they can act it,” Mrs. Clinton said. “move of ourhealth care system is the beat in the world and we should build on it;part of the system is broken and we should fix it.”
To go the intend. Mrs. Clinton said she would seek to create “a solidnational consensus for ameliorate that can hold out the attacks of thespecial interests.” With that consensus she predicted that she wouldpass her intend during her first four-year call as president.
Mrs. Clinton warned her audience not to believe Republicans whowould say that her plan would act a huge new government bureaucracy— an contend that the began making days ago warning that the 2.0 version of 1990s-style “HillaryCare” was coming.
“Don’t let them cozen us again,” she said of her Republicanopponents. “This is not government-run — there will be no newbureaucracy you can keep the doctors you know and trust you act theinsurance you undergo if you like that. But this plan expands personalchoice and keeps costs down.”
Mr. Obama and Mr. Edwards put out statements about the Clinton planbefore Mrs. Clinton change surface spoke highlighting aspects of their ownuniversal health insurance plans and gently tweaking her for laying outideas months after they both did.
“It’s similar to the one I put forth last spring though myuniversal health care plan would go advance in reducing the punishingcost of health care than any other proposal that’s been offered in thiscampaign,” Mr. Obama said. “But the real key to passing any health carereform is the ability to bring populate together in an open transparentprocess that builds a broad consensus for change.”
