Clinton Or Obama? or anybody else: Who will best defend healthcare ?

I don't care if Clinton's a woman or not, i want the best qualified person for the job. And IMO that ain't Clinton. :stone

I agree . . voting for someone simply because they are female is irresponsible.

What does she believe? What are her plans for Iraq? What are her plans for healthcare? What are her plans for taxes?

Be specific - learn exactly what a person believes and thinks before you vote for them simply because they have boobs.

I don't know who I'm going to vote for yet but it definitely will NOT be Obama or Hillary . . . . they are both too liberal for me.

And I wonder about the poll question as well: What is meant by "defending healthcare"? Does this mean defending the status quo---in other words, 40+ million uninsured Americans and literally thousands of insurance schemes complicating the works for those of us fortunate enough to have access to health care? If so, you're going to vote for a solid conservative, like Fred Thompson or Newt Gingrich. But if you want fundamental change in the way health care is delivered and funded in this country, you'll want someone like John Edwards or Dennis Kucinich.

Me, I'm somewhere between the two extremes, so I don't hold out much hope for either party's ability to deal effectively with the uninsured and underinsured while keeping government bureaucracy out of health care. While I agree that the system desperately needs to be fixed, I harbor a healthy dose of suspicion when it comes to the sort of thing proposed by Edwards, and I'd almost rather not do anything than allow the Feds to start nosing into citizens' private health matters.
But, that's just me.
