Clinton "evasive when asked about how she would enforce the mandate in her own plan..."

"There are big differences between me and Sen. Obama on healthcare," Clinton said. "I have a healthcare plan that covers every single American. He does not. I have a healthcare plan that will leave no American out. He, by his own admission, leaves at least 15 million people out."

Obama argued against a requirement in Clinton's proposal that people buy coverage, saying his plan has no such mandate.

"There's been a lot of talk about the different plans the candidates have proposed to create a universal healthcare system in this country," Obama said in Des Moines. "But the reason Americans don't have health insurance isn't because they don't want it, it's because they can't afford it, which is why my plan doesn't have a mandate and goes further in cutting costs than any other proposal offered in this race."

Clinton retorted that Obama has a mandate for children... But she was evasive when asked about how she would enforce the mandate in her own plan that all Americans must have healthcare.

"There are a variety ways of doing it," she said. "I'm going to negotiate with the Congress over that because different people in Congress have different approaches about how to do that."

In other words, she has no friggin' clue. So much for her great health care plan.
