Clinton: mandate on health care will not include penalties!!!!!!!!!

[exchange77]

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., this morning left open the possibility that, if elected, her government would garnish the wages of people who didn't comply with her health care plan. "We will have an enforcement mechanism, whether it's that or it's some other mechanism through the tax system or automatic enrollments," Clinton said in an appearance on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos".

Clinton went on to say, though, that such mechanisms would not include penalties. "They don't have to pay fines … We want them to have insurance. We want it to be affordable. And what I have said is that there are a number of ways of doing that. Now, there's not just one way of getting to that

5. So which Hillary are we to believe? (and does my question ring familiar?) n/t

6. Well, isn't that generous of her.

Maybe if she wouldn't include the fucking insurance companies at all in her so-called "plan", and wouldn't plan to enrich those who are killing us at our expense, I just might listen to her.

And if she wants people to have the coverage they need, then why the fuck is she pushing insurance companies? Their take the money and "delay, deny, deceive" tactic is well-known.

11. Maybe you could share with us Obama's single payer plan?

Or is it possible his includes health insurance companies, too.

7. Then why have a mandate?

8. Thats all I have to say about this

"Hillary is going to steal money from my paycheck to fund her broken
healthcare system... put my money into the hands of the very lobbyists that funded her.


NO THANK YOU. ENOUGH SIR. "

"Oh, bullshit!
Forcing people to buy into insurance companies that are already doing tremendous harm, and who may not even begin to cover what is needed or may still refuse coverage, and especially people who cannot begin to even afford any premiums, all just to enrich her buddy donor insurance and pharmaceutical companies, is NOT any health care "reform" at all. Period. Getting the insurance companies the fuck out of health care through a single-payer system, such as in France or Canada, is the only way to do it.

Fuck the insurance companies that are killing us in this country and fuck Hillary for wanting to prop them up and for refusing to recognize that too many of us cannot begin to afford any insurance premiums, especially at their ever-higher prices. And what if they refuse to cover a needed treatment? Fuck that and fuck her. A truly principled democrat would recognize the danger of insurance companies and that they are largely the problem in health care in this country, and not invite them to eat all the lunch at the table. "

12. I guess you don't approve of Obama's mandate that

parents have to buy insurance for their children.

10. Thanks for posting this.

[HeraldSquare212]

14. But it's still garnishment or whatever forced payment/participation

I guess it's nice that there's not a penalty on top of that.
