Hillary Care, part II: Choices now, but not later

Share on Facebook

Reader comments


Government already pays half of all health care costs. Sen. Hillary Clinton's health care plan, announced yesterday, would expand that. Clinton claims she does not want to create a single-payer, government-run health system like Canada's. But given half a chance, she'd impose exactly that.

Clinton said in April that "for the short term" health care reform would "probably have to build on the employer-based system . . ."

She said a single-payer "Medicare for All" program "would be something to be considered" -- if Democrats win enough seats in Congress.

Make no mistake. If a President Hillary Clinton had the votes, and that is a possibility, it'd be goodbye greatest health care system in the world, hello socialized medicine.

The current democrat power elite which includes Clinton, are primarly concerned with the aquistion of power, instituting socialist principles and the persuit of a secular progressive agenda. Nowhere in the constitution does it stipulate that the government is responsilble for financing and delivery of health care to the American public, yet with democratic leadership we can expect a sharp increase in government involvement.
An ethical citizenary should provide assistance to those truely in need; however, the private sector is by far more efficent and cost effective in almost any matter over programs under government jurisdication. Just look at public schools vs. private schools for an example.
This nation was built by people with self relaince, strong moral fabric and intense work ethic. We don't need a socialist like Clinton erroding the foundations of this great republic.

Hillary has indeed learned from the 1994 debacle. She has learned that she didn't hide enough of the facts about the plan from the people and their representatives.
She now has a Democrat controlled legislature that will pass anything she writes regardless of what the people want. They don't listen to their constituents anyway. The only way to stop her is to keep her out of office.

This woman is as deceptive as her husband, using words in her campaign promises that she will likely describe later as being "legally accurate". Slick Hilly and Slick Willy deserve one another. And she claims she learned her lesson from the 1994 health care debacle? No, she has not learned her lesson.
