Hillary On Universal Healthcare

-

Hillary Clinton is very smart and well informed about the issues. No question about that. But once again she is blowing it on the issue of universal health care. Without any doubt everyone in America should have access to the health care system without being bankrupted. But she keeps chosing the wrong method of implementation.

-

Her latest pronouncement is that all Americans will be FORCED to buy affordable health insurance.

-

Good heavens lady, get real. The problem is that affordable health insurance is not available in America. So that needs to be the primary focus, not FORCING Americans to do anything. The reason that almost 50 million people do not have health insurance is not because they are deadbeats or are trying to get over on the system. The problem is that they either are uninsurable becasue of pre-existing conditions, or that health insurance coverage is prohibitively expensive.

-

When you you start talking about forcing single mothers to buy health insurance, or when the government begins forcing old folks on modest fixed incomes who have been let go and are out of work because their jobs went overseas, you are treading on very dangerous turf.

-

Maybe you are not as bright as I thought. You sure show no signs of being a natural leader. Too Bad.

-

Really, too bad. Because for the most part your ideas are first class.
