Hillary's premise is that insurance is there to socialize costs. Low-cost people need to be in the insurance pool to make health care possible for high-cost people.
Consider the following: Fifty-seven percent of the uninsured are younger than 35 and for the most part 1) have an income which enables them to pay for routine health care expenses as they arise and 2) are much more healthy than those over 35. Thus, many who a) have enough money not be insured and b) are relatively healthy, believe that buying insurance (socializing the costs) only subsidizes other people. It just isn't a good deal for them. Cheaper insurance that covered catastrophic expenses would be a better deal for them.
Is she in the insurance lobby's pocket? Although I personally don't like her, I don't think she's in with the insurance lobby. It is just a consequence of a Liberal's way of thinking.

no, the reason is the same reason they have the same policy in Massachusetts
under the plan, when someone gets treated at a state hospital or gets discounted drug prices, they will be assuming that the person has the national insurance to pay for it. If you were the only person without insurance, you would be feeding off the system
that's why Canadians don't like when Americans go to their country and take the medication discounts from their system to their own advantage
if you're one of those anti-immigration people... think of it... all the illegal immigrants getting in on a discounted health system for free... you're angry now, aren't you?

It's not about health insurance. it's about causing more illness and sickness. The more sick people they create, the more they can raise taxes and slow the economy. The more they slow the economy, the more poverty they will create. The more poverty they create, the more people who will vote for democrats. The fundamental basis for all liberal policies, philosophy and beliefs are based on lies. Taxation slows the economy. It doesn't help the poor. the slower the economy gets, the more poverty will be created. The lower the moral character of the nation the more poverty will be created. The Liberals are for all things which are immoral. There is an entity who is for poverty, misery and immorality. It isn't God.

Yes, like most of the Democratic party, she is in the insurance industry's pocket. But it's also about dictating freedom to you which means that Clinton is as bad in her own way as Bush is in his.
Bush wants you to have freedom with your money, but he doesn't mind raping your Constitutional rights to privacy in the process. Clinton doesn't mind your privacy (God knows she'd be better off if her family had had more of it about 8 years ago) but doesn't mind eliminating where you have freedom of choice (which is ironic coming from a person who calls herself "Pro Choice").
The Republicans are selling security and the Democrats are selling safety, but the bottom line is that the only difference between a Democrat and Republican these days is which of your freedoms they're willing to steal from you so that you don't have to think anymore.
Sadly, a line I read in a bathroom stall many years ago does nothing but get truer by the day: "Think, it ain't illegal yet."

Seems quite the opposite and I am no Hill fan. Under her proposal one can keep the insurance they have, those who have none can choose to purchase the same insurance that congress and fed. employees have, those unable to afford insurance will be on government funded insurance.
Is it a perfect plan? probably not and we can't figure for all that may go wrong until we start it. But we must try. Failure to have everyone covered is really this country's most pressing national issue. Why can't we try this?????
We have the doctor's run by the insurance companies, the pharmaceutical companies even higher up on the food chain and most of our elected government officials held hostage by all three of these entities. Something must be done!!

I don't agree with it either, and it is very socialist, but.......
What happens is that all these <> run around with no health insurance, and then they break their leg, or they need heart surgery, or their appendix ruptures and they show up at the hospital. All us worker bees end up footing the bill (no matter how indirectly - we pay) for them.
Might as well force them to buy their own insurance.

That is my guess. I will be really peeved if I am forced to buy something I will never use. Don't you love the way she wants to bring in more cheap foreign workers that will take American jobs that provide health care and then force unemployed Americans to purchase insurance. With what?

Take a look at the documentary "SICKO" and you'll see that socialized medicine is not all that bad. Other countries are in better shape as far as providing quality medical care as compared to us in the so-called "superpower of the world"!

I got a good laugh at her idea of making health care mandatory. Exactly how does she expect the average American worker who currently can't afford health care to pay for her new mandated coverage and how does she believe that this in any way "fixes" our health care system?
How could anyone possibly believe she has what it takes to be president?

Because if everyone has insurance, paying in fees, then the cost is shared across everyone. Now the people who don't have insurance either have their bills paid by taxpayers at charity hospitals or they are charged much, much more than insured because Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance companies demand discounts.
