By host Tom Ashbrook

Hillary Clinton got run over by health care reform politics fourteen years ago. Trounced by drug companies and insurers, by Harry and Louise, by ordinary Americans afraid she would limit their health care choices.

Now, years have passed, nearly 50 million Americans are uninsured, millions more live in fear of losing coverage -- and Hillary is back, with kinder, gentler reform that is, she says, all about choice.

Her rivals are howling. But the country is waiting for some kind of answer on health care.

This hour, On Point: Hillary Clinton's second time around on health care reform.
