When Clinton offers her proposal next week to cover the 47 million Americans who lack insurance, she will probably stake out the middle ground, appearing bolder than Senator Obama of Illinois and more pragmatic than former Senator Edwards of North Carolina.
Obama, 46, has proposed mandating health-care coverage only for children. Clinton, 59, will likely make coverage mandatory for everyone, said a campaign aide who declined to offer details because he didn't want to pre-empt her speech, scheduled for Sept. 17 in Iowa.
Edwards, 54, would go further and effectively create a government-run system by giving every American the option of signing up for Medicare, the U.S. program for the elderly and disabled.

health care insurance and not
health care for all citizens. The estimate is that 47mil Americans do not have health care insurance - hence no health care.
