One of the fallacies espoused by those who seem to be against universal coverage is that it would result in a government run program.
Much of the focus of Hilary Clinton's plan is on personal tax credits to working families and tax incentives to small businesses to make employer-sponsored plans more affordable for more people. More than half of the 46 million without health insurance are working and this option could provide affordable insurance.
And for those who dont like their current plan for whatever reason, the other component of her plan is to provide the option is to join the Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan, which includes numerous private health insurance options. There is no new federal bureaucracy.
