Don't cut benefits on CURRENT BENEFICIARIES
Guess what. If you're under 67 you aren't a CURRENT BENEFICIARY. And what the hell is with her and raising the cap?? Why is she protecting the upper 10%??

Would you supporters of hers please listen to her words carefully.

Forcing you to buy insurance without guaranteeing full benefits.

Not protecting the future benefits of social security.

Promising to continue the policy of the US militarism in the ME.

Please listen to what she is really saying because it's what other DLC type Democrats are saying too.

1. The program on PBS "Sick Around the World" talked about
national health care plans which involve insurance companies. Switzerland has it and it works because the government monitors it. There is real competition to bring down prices. No one loses their homes and all get care. We pay huge premiums with employer help. They pay $700/year for everything. The poor are helped with paying the plan.

I'd have to see what it means to us. Depends on how it is monitored and administered.

We did ask for National Health Care in 2006. Right now the system is failing for everyone but the few CEOs.

2. Yeah, but the government monitors payment amounts
In every single country. It also limits profits. It's not like our insurance at all.

She isn't proposing a thing that is good for working people. She is for the upper class because that's all she knows, millionaire rich and $100,000+ "middle class" and then she thinks everybody else is poor and on Medicaid. She does not understand working people at all.
