Underside of hillary's 'healthcare'

[undergroundpanther]

Unmentioned is anything resembling “government-run health care,” the bogeyman Republicans believe still scares many Americans more than the genuine threat they’ll be bankrupted by illness.

Clinton instead proposes that all Americans be required to purchase a policy, with subsidies provided to those who can’t afford one. She reiterated her plan to crack down on some of the insurance industry’s most odious practices such as denying coverage to those with existing illnesses or even the expectation—based on some past test—that a person might one day develop a disease. Her approach is similar to that of Democratic rival John Edwards but less cumbersome in its specifics. It is more expansive than the health-insurance initiative offered by Barack Obama, who would not mandate universal coverage.
The details, though, are less relevant than the politics: Clinton is sure to anger liberals and positively infuriate Republicans—making her look like the responsible centrist in the fight.

Those, like me, who believe we should do away with the health insurance industry and break our increasingly unworkable reliance on employers as the linchpin of the system, have no candidate—other than the endearing but unelectable Dennis Kucinich—offering a simple, efficient, plan such as Medicare for everyone. Those who want to depict Clinton as an extremist may be even more disappointed. The idea of an individual mandate to buy insurance is—gasp—Republican!

Clinton unveiled her health care plan Monday in Iowa, promising to bring coverage to every American by building on the current employer-based system and using tax credits to make insurance more affordable.

Senator Clinton's thinking insults our intelligence and is almost delusional. Tax credits? To poor people? Requiring someone who is broke and out of work to prove that he has health insurance in order to get a job? How many people in the inner cities are going to be able to afford to front the insurance premiums and then wait 12 months to get their tax credits?

Rethugss like Hillary for a reason..she's like them.

At some point, politically sophisticated conservatives will have to recognize that no Republican can win in 2008 and that their only choice is to support the most conservative Democrat for the nomination. Call me crazy, but I think that person is Hillary Clinton.
