ABC News Reports Yesterday:
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illlin., wants every American to have health insurance, and said today that that goal should be a dominant issue in the 2008 election.
“In the 2008 presidential and congressional campaigns all across the country, affordable, universal healthcare for every single American must not be a question of whether, it must be a question of how,” Obama said in a speech before the Families USA conference.
Obama, who plans to officially launch his bid for president next month, also offered a timeframe for his goal saying that he is “determined that by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have universal healthcare in this country.”
A question not of if, but how? That’s the pressing important question every canidate absolutely must answer, right?
So, Senator, what’s your answer to how?
Because in the speech, you didn’t give one.

…at least Obama’s honest in letting us know his mind’s really on 2008 and not current topics
[...] mess, affectionately referred to as “Hillarycare“, and Barack Obama’s recent statements indicate they both support a socialized healthcare [...]
