33. Choose a plan that includes reform
Obama's provides real subsidies for those who need them, a choice of a plan like the federal employees, along with an agency to begin the task of reforming insurance so that all companies are providing real coverage and there are no surprises. His plan isn't mandated, so people won't be forced into plans they can't afford and end up bankrupt before they get their tax credit, if they get one at all.

There are better plans than this mandate and tax credit route, which never works out for working people. It's like pretending you've made college affordable by mandating everybody go and then announcing the Hope credit. It wouldn't work, there is still too much difference between cost and credit. Hillary doesn't get it and most from her background don't.
