Hillary Clinton: The Health Insurance Issue

I was determined not to listen to even one more debate between Clinton and Obama, but my resolve and what happened are two different things. As a result, I HEARD IT! I heard what I feel is the "real" Clinton.
HIllary Clinton actually said that she is for the "mandate". The mandate that will require each and everyone of us to personally purchase health insurance. She said this would be so that she and others weren't paying for the hidden cost to cover everyone not insured. So is that really what is going on in her thoughts? Rather than truly care if people have access to affordable health care and health care insurance, she is more concerned about having to pay for those who aren't paying for their own? That's what it sounded like to me!
Obama is right about one thing!
There are a great many people who would love to have health insurance, but simply can't afford it. Is a Clinton mandate going to make these people be able to afford it anymore than they could prior to the mandate? I think not!
Maybe the thing to do is to get the outrageous (and often unreachable) insurance, drug and health care provider costs under control. Maybe then... health care and health insurance can be brought within the reach of the working class and less fortunate people.
But I have to go back again to Clinton...
Watch the debate. She did say she wanted to remove the hidden cost of paying for those who don't have insurance. That is totally different than wanting to assure everyone the opportunity of having health care coverage. Totally different!
I hope I am not the only one that caught what she said!
I hope I'm not the only one that caught her playing Clinton politics to the end of the debate!
