<<<You didn't get more specific you got more general and vague. What points about the program do you like, what do you think the results will be?>>>

My main point is that whenever you design a system, or change a system, there are always tradeoffs that you have to make.

Any systems design has to favor one function over another or one group over another. You make a car go as fast as you can, gas mileage has to suffer. You make a car as pretty as you can, the costs go up. You make a car as expensive as you can, less people can afford to buy it.

When you design a healthcare system that favors the rich (load it with super expensive options) the health care of the poor will deteriorate.

What you have to do is be practical. You have to make the proper tradeoffs so that you can maximize the benefits for opposing or contending interests.

One big reason I favor Hillary's proposal is that I think she understands this concept. She has had real time hands on experience in tackling this problem. There is not need for me to rehash the details of her propsal. Go to her website and read all about it.
