This has far from a quiet subject between Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Clinton has come out and promised that if she becomes president, she would place a cap on health care insurance. She revealed details in regards to the cap this week, which will go along with her universal health care plan.

Barack Obama has been a major opposer of the Clinton plan for universal health care. He has stated that Clinton’s plan would likely force many American to buy health insurance, even if they cannot afford it.

Clinton stated that she will place a cap on health insurance premiums. The cap will be anywhere from 5% to 10% of income.

It has been no secret that Clinton has planned to put a cap on premiums. She has come out now and stated what that cap may be.

She believes that the best way to go about this would be to put a single level cap, instead of trying to change it based on the income of people.

Clinton has stated that her plan will cost $110 billion in total. She has argued that it is very difficult to control health care costs without universal health care.

This cap could help many people, as some health care policies can cost up to 15% of their median income.
