I must be lookling at different plans.
As I have read them, both the Clinton and Obama plan allow (and encourage) those currently covered through an employer-based plan to remain with the plan if it is satisfactory.
Thats about 180+ million who, for the most part, would not be affected by either candidate's plan.
And both Clinton and Obama plans would cover the uninsured based, in part, on the federal employees and/or congressional plan model and, in part, on health pools for small businesses who currently do not provide coverage for employees. Neither is a government run program, but a program that offers choice from among a variety of private providers.

Odd that.

Flock here?
Not likely. The last stats I recall seeing reported that medical visas to the US have been declining dramatically for the last 10 years or so while "medical tourism" has become a boom industry, with countries like Costa Rica, Singapore, Phillipines the greatest destinations.
