In campaign news, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has unveiled her proposal to expand health insurance to the 47 million uninsured Americans. Clinton said she would require that all families purchase health insurance and offer them a range of private plans as well as a public option similar to Medicare, which would also continue. The Washington Post reports Clinton’s $110 billion plan is similar to proposals offered by Sen. Barack Obama and former Senator John Edwards. Clinton’s new plan would expand government funding for programs for low-income adults and children, and it would require employers to either insure their workers or pay a tax. Her proposal would also require insurers to offer healthcare coverage to any person who applies for it.
