Hillary Proposes Universal Health Care Plan
Bill, sorry, Hillary Clinton has joined the ranks of candidates who are actually trying (appearing) to want to do something! She has announced her plan for “universal” healthcare. On her website you can download her plan in a pdf file.
She must have read how much I love pdf files!!
I’m pretty sure that this is the first time that I have said something positive about Hillary. I’m not agreeing with the plan, I’m just happy that she has come up with one (in a pdf). The other candidates who have no plans are a waste of time.
Fred Thompson was quick to criticize “HillaryCare” on a video on his website Fred08.com. Thompson, ever the advocate for the small government, showed his frustration in the video which was filmed in the back of a moving car. Thompson said that he does not agree with Hillary’s principles, especially the part of her plan in which employers being required to check if new applicants have healthcare.
Ehh, ok that does make sense. Employers do provide employees with healthcare, so why are they required to have it when applying for a job?
Chicken or the egg?
Universal healthcare has been the Bain of politician’s existence for years now. They mostly agree that our healthcare system needs reform, but don’t seem able to get past the dreaded drug companies and their lobbyists.
Will the BILLary plan work? I don’t know, but at least s/he has proposed one. It is mostly smoke and mirrors but how many Republicans have released a healthcare plan?

Yeah I’m all for her proposal as stated on the front page: “Quality, Affordable Health Care for every American.” However, what is she going to do for the millions of non-American illegal aliens that are here? I don’t see any mention of them in the plan, only Americans.
As a matter of fact the entire issue of illegal immigration is conspicuously absent from her website and your blog for that matter…what gives?
