and health care is included in that. Single payer seems the way to go and neither is even suggesting anything like it.

Between the two though I kind of like Obamas better for a pretty simple reason... I don't like the idea of establishing the same health care systems which created this mess as a required by law solution to it. Whatever plans she has for it still has to pass through Congress and with this as a start I don't see much resulting from it other than corporate welfare and us getting screwed again. Obamas plan isn't great either but at least it doesn't establish the problem itself as a required part of the solution and by law.

If we get hooked more solidly into a bad system we're going to end up giving it years or decades to "see if it works" before we ever get angry enough to change it again, if we never get too hooked into it then change to a better way such as single payer seems more likely.
