1. Dumb to inject a little dose of "reality"?
Free health care isn't exactly "free".

Garnishee wages, raise taxes, or raid the treasuries of weaker nations. Pick a method, but it has to be paid for somehow.

I wonder if "ending the war" would provide enough money to pay for it? Hmm.

4. A better way would be to get the insurance companies out of the loop.
Cost would plummet. No CEO's, no Board of Directors and no stock holders to satisfy. This is a case where the government can do it cheaper and better. The insurance companies are the problem.

5. She's banking on the government based solution outcompeting the market based solution.
And if she does get elected, the GOP would happily vote her proposal through because they believe in the market over the state. Simple really.

7. I see. You want Hillary to propose
Kucinich's plan?

That won't happen. The insurance companies are her friends.

2. Poor choice of words, that's for sure
Personally, I'd rather that we have Medicare for all, with monies coming from taxes for Medicare, which we already pay, being raised a bit. Of course, first I'd cut the tax breaks for the rich and get out of Iraq--that would bring in a lot of funds. This, of course, is the Kucinich plan one that physicians have said is the most sensible and most likely to work.

3. Honesty.
Honesty costed a lot of people elections, though.

People don't want to hear it. They want meaningless platitudes.

6. Yes the mask slipped
and out came Bitter Hilly, the WalMart union buster. Not pretty.
