I was watching the news and Hilary was explaining her proposed health care plan. I tried to find it on the net and was able to get part of what she said. Here it is:
Hillary Clinton Unveils Healthcare Plan That Requires Insurance For All Americans

(Des Moines, IA) -- The nation's healthcare system could undergo major changes if Hillary Clinton becomes the next President.
Clinton unveiled a plan to require all Americans to have health insurance during a visit to a hospital in Iowa this morning.
Clinton is proposing to require Americans to pay for their health insurance at a level determined by their income.
Her plan would require businesses to either offer health insurance or pay into a federal pool that would be used to cover the uninsured.
Numerous tax breaks would be offered to help Americans and business owners pay for insurance.
Insurance companies would not be allowed to deny coverage to people due to pre-existing conditions or genetic testing.
Clinton says people could either use their currently-offered health insurance or take part in a health insurance program offered to federal employees.
The federal government would also subsidize parts of the insurance program.
Now what isn't in here, but what she said was "insurance would be required by everyone just like car insurance. And it will cost the Federal Government 110 Million dollars a year to supervise it.
That is just what we need another law to force us to get something we all want but can't all afford. So now you will be forced to have it, and what will they do if you don't have it?? Give you a ticket? With what money?? And all the while creating another government agency to make things more difficult, And waste tax dollars.
Why can't those morons use common sense. Don't make people have insurance. Force the insurance companies to lower the cost of insurance. How hard can it be?? Just pass laws saying how much insurance companies can charge for insurance. Price regulations for the insurance companies, the doctors, hospitals and drug companies. Don't create another agency to regulate it. Instead just let a current agency deal with it like the FTC.
Well that is my common sense opinion. And While I think Hilary is, (well not nice words put here) but then I haven't heard of any other polictian comming up with a common sense plan either. Polictains sure be required to use the K.I.S.S. rule (Keep It Simple Stupid)
Well that is my rant for the night, See what happens when I spend too much time working on homework...lol
