Hillary Clinton, D-New York, explained how economic reforms are needed to better help struggling families. "Productivity and corporate profits are up, but the fruits of that success just haven't reached many of our families. It's like trickle-down economics, but without the trickle," Clinton said.

Barack Obama, D-Illinois, showcased his plan to provide healthcare to all Americans by the end of his first term, if elected president.

No one will be turned away because of a pre-exisiting condition or illness." -- CNN Congressional Producer Evan Glass
