Clinton Touts Health Insurance Plan

According to Hilary Clinton, health insurance companies should face the same kind of federal regulation as firms that sell stocks and bonds do.

The patchwork of state regulation that insurers now operate under has allowed some carriers to get away with offering sub-par health insurance plans and to move to states with more favorable rules.

Clinton also outlined her universal health care plan, which would provide tax credits to make health insurance more affordable and require businesses to offer health coverage to workers or pay into a pool for people without it. Her plan also would expand Medicare and the federal employees' health insurance plan to cover those without adequate workplace insurance.
