Bankruptcy: by Clinton
Posted by uncajake on September 17, 2007
It was just Friday when I wrote a piece on Big Brother and Health Care. I woke up this morning and the following piece was listed in the news of the day. If we don’t wake up to what these people are proposing, and raise our voices those idiots in Washington will make the assumption that their proposals, no matter how asinine, were what propelled them into office. They will take it as a mandate of the people. Take a look at what Clinton is proposing:
DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) — Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton will roll out a health care reform plan on Monday that would require all Americans to have health insurance,[emphasis added] Clinton campaign sources said.
The Clinton proposal will be unveiled during a what was billed as a major health care policy speech in Iowa. No estimate on the plan’s cost was immediately available. [emphasis added]
Under the plan, federal subsidies would be provided for those who are not able to afford insurance, and large businesses would be required to provide or help pay for their employees’ insurance.
Clinton’s package would also require insurers to provide coverage for anyone who applies for it and would also bar insurance companies from charging people with greater health care costs more for their premiums.
The campaign of fellow Democrat John Edwards, which has already put out a detailed a health care plan, will up the ante Monday during a speech to the Laborers’ International Union of North America in Chicago, Illinois, campaign sources said.
The Edwards proposal would cut off health care for the president, Congress and all political appointees in mid 2009, if a universal health care plan for all Americans has not been passed by then.
Edwards is expected to outline “basic principles” the health care plan would have to meet, the sources said.
This is nothing less than socialism. We need to realize that our Government is our servant and not our mother. We are supposed to be the adult and we are supposed to exercise common sense. If we sit back and do nothing, we will end up in the same boat as Europe and Canada as far as health care goes.
And what will be next? What social problem is laying in wait to rear its ugly head?
