Subject: RE: BS: 31 Jan: Clinton-Obama debate
I seem to see, in the UK press, more recognition of the fact that Clinton is proposing a more universal, less insurance-led, health system. Frankly that is an essential step towards civilisation as I understand it.

It also conforms to the suggestsoin I saw early on (not with very specific details) that on a number of policy details Clinton was to the left of Obama, and on virtually none tot he right.

Love her or loathe her, unless she is planning to tear up those proposals if in office, that makes her the better candidate for the USA right now, because America desperately needs a welfare state, both for health and poverty - and the injection of money into those things will revive the economy like Hitlers "guns not butter" drive in teh 30s. Or like Roosevelt's "New Deal".
