So, Hillary's new healthcare plan for the US is...... the plan Romney put in place in Mass?

Question

So if healthcare is your issue, why not just elect Romney, since he not only came up with the idea first but implemented it?

I'm not saying I agree with Romney's plan, I'm just saying gee, if healthcare is your issue, why vote for Hillary if her idea is just to do nationwide what Romney has already done in Mass?

Goldenrae healthcare is not in crisis in the US. And the infant mortality rate is high only because it includes anchor babies - or attempted anchor babies. Again, I'm not saying kick them out, but I am saying if a Mexican couple living without health insurance in Mexico conceives a child and then walks 200 miles through the desert to sneak into the US, they get to a clinic in Waco and the baby is stillborn, it is extremely misleading to count that stillborn baby in our infant mortality rate and to count the Mexican couple as "uninsured Americans" yet that's where the 45 million figure comes from - the Census Bureau takes a POPULATION survey - they take stats for the POPULATION without regard to whether you were born here or are even here legally.

Goldenrae "is insured????" You mean chose to purchase insurance.

Yes, infant mortality is high among Southern blacks. But it always has been. The increase is due to anchor babies.

I didn't say all of the 45 million were not Americans, I said half were - including your Southern blacks. And I said that the growth was due to illegal immigration, which it is. That's why the increase in both uninsured and illegals is growing in lockstep.

Answer 1

Yes, but on a federal level.

That_Guy_Over_There: A pity you feel compelled to mention the fact that Mitt Romney is a Mormon. Please keep your liberal religious prejudices to yourself.

Answer 2

Why is it that people think that they are going to pay some enormous amount of money out of pocket for healthcare? The proposed plan is AFFORDABLE healthcare NOT FREE healthcare. Working with the insurance, legal, pharmaseutical industries the plan is to work out a plan that will make sure that everyone has access to affordable health care. If anything your insurance premium may go up a buck or two but more likely will actually go down. Nothing will be coming from the tax base according to the plans I have seen. The scare tactics from the right amaze me. They don't know what they are talking about but they attempt to scare people away from it because they don't understand and are frightened of what they don't understand. Interestingly, it is common knowledge our current healthcare system is broken and needs fixing. The Democrats are offering solutions. They may not be exactly what we want or will wind up with but at least they are proposing something. The GOP seems to have a healthcare plan that simply is "don't get sick". They offer nothing. If they don't like what the Democrats are proposing let's see the Republican plan to solve the healthcare dilema in this country. Without an alternative plan they really have no room to complain.

Answer 3

Well that would make sense if I were a democrat, go with the guy that has already made it happen and knows how it works, we call that experience. But I hate the idea, and that is why I am not a democrat, because the cost are phenomenal and privatization is a better bang for the buck. Get government out of our lives, not deeper in it.

Henry VIII. The GOP has a plan, only it doesn't involve the government and making it mandatory like the democrats.You dems always want proof, so here it is.

Now, the readers can compare and chose for themselves.

Answer 4

Professor Martha Derthick said of Hillary's first 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.”

U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan qualified his agreement that "there is no health care crisis" by stating "there is an insurance crisis" but also indicated "anyone who thinks the Clinton health care plan can work in the real world as presently written isn't living in it." Meanwhile, Democrats, instead of uniting behind the President's original proposal, offered a number of competing plans of their own.

The pre-election Hillary Health Care Plan is one thing. What we might get under her is another subject.

The Romney plan worked WITHOUT raising taxes. Hillary has made no secret of her intent to 'take some of what you have' for the greater good. Her plan will be 'single payer' similar to Canada's. You just won't know it until she gets elected and the chances of it making it's way through the capitol are slim and none.

With Hillary in the white house we will go another 4 years at least with no change in national health care. If she goes a second term we will have had a Clinton or a Bush in the presidency for 26 years and no health care plan for the same period of time.

As you say, Romney's already works in Mass.
Mormon or not, he is already years ahead of Hillary and he got started later.
To be fair though, you could probably say the same of Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Answer 5

This is exactly why Romney is the only one of the republican candidates I would consider voting for: he's the only one who's interested in actually doing something about health care, rather than waiting for the magic of the free market to fix it.

However, Clinton has a much higher chance of getting elected than Romney does, and probably has health care as a higher priority, since the left supports universal health care and the right opposes it.

Answer 6

Jeremiah's answer replaced into a minimum of trustworthy. although if Canadians are so delighted with their well-being care why do maximum of come to the united statesA. to get good high quality well-being care in a well timed way? She needs to take money from powerful businesses(powerful through fact they are run effectively) and and placed the government (which isn't run effectively)in charge of well-being care. She needs to punish good businesses for his or her fulfillment so as that they might't cope with to pay for to hire as many workers to that end forcing extra human beings to place self belief in an inefficiently run government software. ultimately, she had 8 years to safeguard well-being care until now. What makes truthfully everybody think of she'll get it executed this time?

Answer 7

Romney's plan is actually based on the health care initiative that Hillary Clinton proposed while the First Lady. The plan in place in Massachusetts is not much different than plans in most states to cover low income people and children. The hard part about accepting any health care plan from anyone in government is that thye all have complete coverage, paid for by taxpayers. If my taxes are going to healthcare, I should be recieving healthcare for my taxes.

Answer 8

Because we need someone to do it nationwide. Healthcare is in crisis in the US. We have third world levels of infant mortality whereas infant mortality rates are decreasing in the developing world.

Edit: Spoken like someone who is insured. Infant mortality is highest among poor Southern blacks. They are NOT anchor babies. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/22/health/22infant.html?ex=1190174400&en=4d086ee3450bfcf7&ei=5070

Answer 9

Because Romney doesn't want to do what he did in Massachusetts on a national level.

I don't like the plan, though, because it still involves the insurance companies as middle men taking their big cut of the pie and denying service.

Answer 10

Why vote for either of them? Since both will cost you out of your back pocket. The Government gets enough of my paycheck already .
