Many have commented that a good deal of the proposals you two have put forward are similar in nature. In reference to the debate about the future of health care in the United States one of the distinctions that has been made is the concept of a mandate.
To my understanding currently, Senator Clinton's campaign believes a mandate is the only way to assure that all Americans purchase health insurance.
As an individual who had his driver's license suspended by the state of Ohio care of a random insurance letter, why Senator Clinton do you think it's appropriate to force individuals to purchase something they can't afford? In addition, would you extend the same concept of mandate to auto insurance, and in enforcing it would you dock my pay or automatically enroll me in a program I may not want or can not afford?

I understand in the legislative process often representatives are forced to make a lot of difficult decisions, and sometimes regret some of their votes after they realize they'd made a mistake.
This question is for Senator Hillary Clinton. I was wondering when you decided your vote to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq was a mistake? In addition, George Bush has often been criticized for presenting himself as infallible. Considering that fact, why haven't you apologized to the American people for your mistake?

It is a fact that most Americans would like for us to withdraw from Iraq. We also understand that this war has not yet been paid for, rather money has been barrowed in the form of a budget deficit. How will you pay the bill for this war and still develope programs that help the middle class? I plan to pose this same question to prospective Republican nominees if they debate in Ohio.
As an educator, I see many of my peers losing thier jobs due to lack of funds. Then, many of the only positions left are for english, math, science, history. As a Health and PE teacher, how would I know my job is secure and how would you use health and PE to promote your health care plan (seeing that health care starts with prevention)
The debate about Iraq rarely discusses the role of the Kurdish enclave in Iraq. Unlike other regions, the Kurdish region is pro - American, stable and Democratic. If you pull out US combat troops from Iraq, would you continue to protect the Kurdish enclave?
Did Hilary subtract the 50 million that she 'loaned' her campaign from the amounts received this month?
Why is Hilary not required to show her tax returns until AFTER the convention while Barack has made his public? Is there something in those returns that may be revealed that will harm her campaign?--a buy out of a company that the Clintons may not want to be connected?
Does anyone else think it is hypocritical that both senators are talking about healthcare reform but think nothing of spending MILLIONS of dollars on a presidential campaign? How many of the elderly and working poor could have PROPER health care and/or the medicine that they might not otherwise take because they can't afford it?
Senator Obama, how can America trust you to lead us safely out of Iraq when you have never even visited there? Senator has been there multiple times. How can we be assured if there is a threat to our nation that you will take action? Also are the allegations you did crack in 1999 and had oral sex with a man in a limo, proposed by Larry Sinclair in this video posted on You Tube true?

I would ask, "What can be done about all the beyond senseless violent gun violence and public shootings that seems to be all the rage these days?". I would hope they would answer, "much stricter gun control and laws."
How are Senators Clinton and Obama going to change healthcare? And how are each going to make sure that I do NOT have to pay for NATIONAL HEALTHCARE for others when I have my own through my employer. Isn't capitalism the most efficient way to run business? And since healthcare is business, why should we let government interfere with providing it to the masses? Also, a recent study showed that 1/3 of the federal budget went to Senior Citizen healthcare. If we are spending that much on just the OLDEST part of our society, what do you plan on the costs being for all of society? 1/2 the budget? And are you going to increase MY TAXES and take more out of a paycheck I work hard to earn to provide for those who do not? SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!
jmich725's response is exactly what is wrong with America today! Instead of blaming the system and it's MANY shortcomings and faults, he states that it's "survival of the fittest", and that we shouldn't be concerned about our 'brothers and sisters' (fellow citizens). So it's OK to spend BILLIONS on a war based on bald lies and no WMD's (Iraq), but not OK to help out our citizens HERE AT HOME with universal healthcare programs like the ones they have in other Euro countries and in Canada??!! His thinking needs to become more 'evolved'! I would hope Obama and Hillary touch upon how to help the millions that are NOT getting the healthcare they NEED (not want)!!!
I'd like both Senators to take a stand and tell me if they have the fortitude to do whatever and anything it takes to protect me and my family from terrorism. Do either one of them support restricting, or even taking away, any of the necessary interrogation, surveillance, intelligence and judicial tools that are needed to defeat the terrorists?
