1. Some healthcare professionals post on the Clark Blog

As a physician, I have to admit I am very impressed with Clark's
plans and views on health care. You can really tell he consulted with physicians when he made the plan.
Quoting "evidence-based medicine" is a really good thing. It is a hot topic and is the goal for practitioners and
residency programs. Grade: A+

Reference #4
I am a Physician Assistant and my wife is a Physician, and we both agree with the above comment. Excellent position. The only thing I would add is directing a strategic movement from risk-group to community based risk for health insurance to be completed by a milestone date.
That's minor, though.

2. SO what is "poverty level?"

I'm asking for my own selfish reasons. Help will be at 275% of poverty level.

5. What if the same health plan as congress is better than your employers??

Hopefully people can bail out of the employer plan if the available plan for uninsured is better. I'd rather have coverage guaranteed than have "access" guaranteed. The republicans always use this word "access"--like I have access to a Lexus dealer too.

I think single payer makes more economic sense for the country as a whole. But this plan doesn't seem all that bad.
