Well, now. We know she can fix it, just like she did in 1993.

The San Francisco libs were no doubt ecstatic to hear Bubba say Soviet-style health care will soon arrive in America. God save us all from him - and his wife.

I wish she would just go away. Big storm expected here in the northeast. Maybe a house will fall on her or she’ll melt or something....

Immoral and broken. Only FedGov can fix it. Like they fixed the Apollo moon program, the Superconducting Supercollider, and Vietnam.

Clinton can always bring in millions of illegals, and put them on million dollar a year medical benefits.

One of the ways she broke it was that her husband’s administration demanded that drug companies supply vaccines to the public FOR FREE!

Thus .. the drug companies stopped making some of the vaccines.

I would have to disagree with Clinton in strong terms. Ten days after I went to my family doctor saying that I had numb spots in my arms and they felt weak, I had surgery by the head of the Neuro Dept of our local hospital. To boot, I am on Medicare so I can’t complain but I am sure that under Hilary Care I would still be waiting, 3 years later.

What is immoral is that she as a Senator gets to retire on full salary, while she screws over Social security

That she gets the finest health care in America and it doesnt cost her a friggin penny. While poor people suffer to pay their health insurance the rich folks in the senate get their s free. FREE.

The Senate and Congress get perks that let them live like Kings and Queens, while they raise our taxes and crap on the little people, but they always leave themselves a loophole. Thats whats friggin immoral.

Hillary and Bill Clinton have lived off the Government Tit since they got out of school,while the rest of us earned a living. pay our health insurance, pay our taxes. we had to buy our houses we didnt live in Government mansions. Now they are millionaires thanks to Pardons and idiots who read their books. Books written by people who cant remember anything in court.
Thats immoral.

Hillary & Bill are immoral enough without even going into the sex lives of either of these douchebags.

It's broken because of sue happy lawyers, high insurance, and GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE!

Other than that, we have the best healthcare in the world.

“Our health care system is immoral”

Life is immoral. Conservatives have grown up, gotten jobs, and learned this.

It’s not the health/medical field that’s broken, it’s the LEGAL system that is preventing affordable free-market medical practice—and the culture of death that’s involved in the dark side of ‘medicine’ with embryonic stem cells, eugenics, cloning and more while seeking to prohibit animal testing.

TORT REFORM would have a huge remedial effect upon the medical/healthcare field.

By jingo, when them fellow is right, he is right. We need some kind of government funded and regulated health care; something like the NHS in England, something like this:

“NOW THEY DON’T EVEN CHANGE THE SHEETS IN HOSPITAL

Hospital sheets are not being changed to save money

Saturday April 14,2007
By Sarah Westcott Have your say(3)
CLEANERS at a failing NHS hospital criticised for its record on fighting superbugs have been told to keep used sheets on beds to save cash.

Horrified housekeeping staff were ordered to turn dirty bed sheets over, rather than use clean linen at Birmingham’s Good Hope Hospital.

Managers advised staff to “top and tail” sheets and pillow cases in a bid to slash the £500,000 laundry bill.

Posters plastered across the back of the linen cupboards and on doors leading into the Accident and Emergency and Maternity department asked staff not to swap sheets if they could avoid it.

It means new patients have been getting into beds with the same sheets as the previous sick occupant, it was claimed yesterday.

The revelations were branded “absolutely scandalous” by patients’ groups and “tantamount to murder”.
Katherine Murphy, spokeswoman for the Patients Association said finances were being put before the care of patients and their safety.

“Why do sick people have to suffer further when they have paid for the NHS?” she said. “It should be there for them when they need it.

“When somebody is admitted into hospital they don’t only need clean sheets but the whole bed should be washed down as well. This is doing nothing for infection-control.

“It is absolutely scandalous and down to financial mismanagement.”

An anonymous whistleblower leaked a photograph of the poster to expose the practice, which he claimed had been enforced over the past three years.”

Let’s nationalize 10% of the economy and run it like the post office.

You nailed it exactly. When Clinton calls the health care system "immoral," we don't even know what he means, since he has no personal understanding of the word.
