Do NOT vote for HRC, she'll garnish your wages to FORCE you to buy Health Insurance from her donors!

[Nimrod2005]

She is in the lobbyists back pockets...She wants to make you buy stuff from THEM! Humana, Cigna, United Health Care...etc. are her biggest supporters.

Her idea of Universal Health Care is: government forces you to buy it using your own money, at a price they set, or wages are garnished.

Bullshit Hillary!

1. See this is vintage Hillary, to me.

It should surprise no one, actually. The only thing that DOES surprise me is her boneheaded move to come out and say it in the few days before Super Tuesday.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

[Nimrod2005]

6. I said this after her last debate in SC...She pretty much said that then!!!

[ErnestoG]

10. Yeah but what dim bulb proclaims this right before Super Tuesday?

Somebody's campaign director has been smoking super glue.

[Nimrod2005]

13. You are right!!!

[Dogmudgeon]

2. Hillary wants to garnish your wages; Obama is for payroll deductions

--p!

[Triana]

19. Bwah!

Exactly.

This is the most idiotic OP I've seen on here in a while.

Hell, we get our wages "garnished" for social security and income taxes all the time. I don't see anyone here hyperventilating over that.

[Thrill]

3. She won't get my vote........People can't afford to have their wages garnished

[TheDonkey]

4. Insurance companies thank her.

[Nimrod2005]

7. YUP, with more donations, more money to her campaign!

[KittyWampus]

5. Look, it's a valid approach. STOP trying to demonize it. Critique- if we're going to garnish wages

for Health Care, let's just Single Payer.

[Nimrod2005]

8. Ask the people in MA, Romney did this there, read about it....nt

[ArkySue]

22. Hillary's plan IS NOT LIKE Romney's!

Romney didn't do anything about the high premiums, and he's making people pay penalties who don't have insurance.

Insurance costs go down the more people in the pool. Hillary will cap insurance premiums, no one will be excluded for "pre-existing conditions" and there will be subsidies for those who can't afford to pay the premiums. That it may be deducted from your paycheck is just like Social Security, FISA, and taxes.

Get the facts straight. Or don't you want universal coverage?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

9. Fine with me. Garnish my wages for true single payer, not this insurance b.s.

14. It's wonderful to see so many people have already had their

negotiations and decided exactly how a new health care system is going to work! THANKS! That'll save HOURS of meetings and arguments between the lawmakers, the medical comunity, and the insurers. :sarcasm:

The "garnish wages" comment is the same as the one where Barack said "charge back premiums to the uninsured". Details of anyone's hc plan have not been decided! STOP trying to make things up!

17. Right on....nt

[Martin Eden]

16. No, she won't.

Her plan does not affect the health coverage my employer already provides.

[Garbo 2004]

18. My wages are currently "garnished" to pay for health insurance. It's not free to me or my employer.

And neither of us currently have a choice of a presumably lower cost federal gov't plan which both Edwards' & Hillary's plans provide for which also would provide gov't subsidized health care for the indigent.

What company currently provides your health care insurance, if you're fortunate enough to be covered? Who pays for it? And if you don't have health care insurance what are your current options for health care and who pays whom for that?

[Triana]

20. Good point.

Same here re: my insurance. My wages are "garnished" for it every month. And Hillary's plan when/if enacted would allow me to keep that one or sign up for the gov't one.

I don't see what all the flapping and hyperventilating is about.


Jeeeeeze!

[Jed Dilligan]

21. You know, at this point it's not even an issue

how stupid her plan was. She killed her candidacy today. If she becomes the nominee say hello to Pres. McCain.
