Because the Census Bureau defines "American" to mean an individual within the borders of the United States.
That includes illegal aliens, who number about 20 million.
They're not going to be covered under Hillary's plan - until they become legalized - which would also require passage of the amnesty bill.
And since most of the bills proposed involved a fee - in the area of $5,000 to $10,000 - which, if you "can't afford" health insurance, you don't have - most illegals wouldn't end up being able to buy the amnesty anyway.

Hillary has a plan? Hope it's different than the last one that she flaunted when Bubba put her on it and she failed so miserably.

Bill and Hillary make well over 50 million a year, this is not about money. The balance is only $771,000.00 What they wanted to do was give someone an experience of a lifetime, the thrill of a one-on-one with Bill. Imagine the great honor of spending time with Bill. Those that have, have experienced a brilliant glow around him, almost angelic.

Sen. Clinton has not even unveiled her plan yet, so where are you getting all this? She made an announcement at the Cancer Forum just today that her plan would be ready for perusal in a couple of weeks in September. Care to try again then?
She's long ago acknowleged the problems with "Hillary Care" back in 1994/94 and unlike some politicians I know, she admits it freely and has learned from those mistakes.

Don't be concerned about Hillary's health care plan.
There isn't one. There never was and there never will be.
Although the United States has never had a universal health care system, it does have certain publicly funded health care programs that help to provide for the elderly, disabled, military service families and veterans, and the poor. Additionally, ever since 1986, federal law has guaranteed public access to emergency services regardless of ability to pay.
University of Virginia Professor Martha Derthick said of the Clinton health care plan:
"In many years of studying American social policy, I have never read an official document that seemed so suffused with coercion and political naivete ... with its drastic prescriptions for controlling the conduct of state governments, employers, drug manufacturers, doctors, hospitals and you and me."
Patrick Monyihan a fellow democrat said:
"Anyone who thinks the Clinton health care plan can work in the real world as presently written isn't living in it."
Hillary Clinton had launched a massive health-care reform plan that wound up strangled by its own red tape.
Her newest approach is much the same but now she thinks it can done by introducing it to congress incrementaly.
In other words, it will spend itself to death long before it has a chance to work.

I'm confused. Are you saying Hillary's proposed Health Care plan is bad because it doesn't insure enough people?
Are you sure you want to be making this argument. I mean, I'm all for a single payer Health Care system, where anyone who needs medical care can get it.
Is that what you're pushing for as well? If so, please let me know when a candidate comes forward with that plan.
Glad to have you on our side, though!

Im sick of seeing and hearing that fraudulent 45 million number. Im sure you know the breakdown so Im not going though it but its really starting to irritate me more and more when people buy the idiotic argument that because 45 million people dont have it means they cant afford it. even the 25 million is disingenuous.

It is not the job of the Federal Government to provide health care.

Did you mean "buy the amnesty" or "buy the insurance"?
