Hillarys healthcare scam will bankrupt millions
Mandatory Health Insurance is not Universal Healthcare
Making it illegal for people not to have Insurance is not Universal Healthcare.

Garnishing wages to pay a 3rd Party Insurance Company is not Universal Healthcare.

This is actually a windfall for Insurance Companies who will have millions of new customers on a promise of lowering their rates. Yet they will still determine the final price, for profit.

It is another bill in the mail for Americans, some of whom simply cannot afford it.

Universal Healthcare is what Europe has. It is non-profit. It is included in taxes. No 3rd Party Vultures are feeding at the trough.

Mandatory Insurance is not Universal Healthcare.
No matter how many times Hillary tries to sell it as such.






Oh and, just so you all know, NO REPUBLICAN IN CONGRESS WILL EVER VOTE FOR HER BILL. lol, thats assuming she even gets a majority, which she wont.

1. As an intelligent Kucinich supporter once said
"So you (Hillary) would take the money I spend now on good foods and medicines that keep me in good health, and let it get sucked up by a titanic bureaucracy that probably won't help a single person get any better care than they're getting now? How long will it take for this benefit to accrue? One year? Five years? I can't wait in state-imposed poverty for that long. I will go bankrupt if I'm forced to take on one more bill. "

5. No it hasnt been debunked. Hillary said she will garnish wages, which means taking
peoples money and funding the insurance companies that funded her campaign.

BTW, how will Hillary have this passed when even democratic congressmen disagree with her position vehemently?

7. Hillary will mandate insurance, offering two plans, a public insurer, or private for profit insurers
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 08:05 AM by joshcryer
The public insurer will be non-profit, and will be able to outcompete the private insurers by huge margins. Most people would chose the public insurer. It essentially means that we have single payer health care.

And the reason it will pass is because the GOP believes in the market more than it does government, and it believes the for profit ventures would be able to compete (they wouldn't be able to, though). The public insurer would win the day, and we'd have single payer. Simple.
