I could find no other timetable other than waiting until the end of her second term. Obama promises within his first term, Edwards within his first year in office. Please provide links to real news coverage or the candidate's site.
Key Difference Emerges Between Health Proposals of Clinton, Obama - March 27, 2007 - The New York Sun
"Neither Senator Clinton nor Senator Obama has released detailed plans to enact universal health care if they are elected to the presidency, but already a key difference has emerged on the issue: Mr. Obama says he can get it done four years faster.
The Illinois senator has repeatedly said universal coverage should be achieved by the end of his first term as president, while Mrs. Clinton has pledged to reach the goal by the end of her second term as president."

I understand the necessity of a bill to be introduced to the House of Representatives and the Senate and to pass with at least 50% of the vote.
Perhaps my question wasn't clear enough. I wanted to know when the candidate planned to introduce the legislation for consideration.
Since Health Care Reform is a signature part of each of the democratic candidates platform I wanted to know if the legislation was going to be as much of a priority for the other candidates as it is for John Edwards.
