Re: HRC's new universal health plan -- Why do people think [View All]

[pnwmom]

that even though Bill Clinton couldn't get a more ambitious health plan than this one through a Democratic congress, that HRC or any Democrat now could succeed in getting a single-payer plan through?

Bill Clinton failed to get his health plan passed; he would have failed miserably if he had tried to get single payer passed. What is different now?

My preference, too, would be single payer -- ultimately. But maybe the way to get there is through steps.

In the meantime, HRC's plan would give everyone access to the same plan that Congress has. That's a lot better than what we have now. The issue to concentrate on would be how to make sure it is affordable to all.
