This will be mandatory, rest assured!! Is this what we all want? If not, what are we going to do about it?!!

“She said she could envision a day when “you have to show proof to your employer that you’re insured as a part of the job interview “

Nothing mandatory here, just no insurance, no job (unless you are here illegally).

[Murray the R]

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that a mandate requiring every American to purchase health insurance was the only way to achieve universal health care but she rejected the notion of punitive measures to force individuals into the health care system.

How does Hillary Doublespeak Clinton propose to enforce a "mandate" without "punitive measures"?

[DBrow]

“If not, what are we going to do about it?”

Change your registration to (D) and vote in the (D) primary?

Inform fence-sitters and other people likely to swing of the horrid, expensive nature of mandatory government health insurance?

Get out the conservative vote?

[sappy]

I don’t suppose we’ll here, “US Govt. out of my body” from the Gloria Steinam crowd, on this one.

HEALTH INSURANCE PROOF REQUIRED FOR WORK

I’d just love to hear her expound on how much better our universal health care will be than the care we receive now. The quality of care will plummet and only the rich will be able to afford more expensive health insurance for private doctors. People in this country that want an NHS should have to live under an NHS before voting. Government run health care is mediocre at best. And we will all get the same mediocre treatment.

[smonk]

um, you would have to prove that you had insurance as a prerequisite for employment, even though her own program seems to acknowledge that employer provided health insurance is the preferred means of having health insurance in the first place?

something isn't tracking here.

"At this point, we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed,"

The key word is "at this point". Watch out for "that point" coming. It depends what IS is. BJ did not have a sex with that women and sKerrrrry was in Vietnam.

"At this point, we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed.
We're saving that for after the election."

Another related line of thought - If you must have insurance before getting a job, companies won’t need to provide it anymore as a benefit and they won’t. Think about how this will impact the benefits package that comes along with a job. With no health insurance, salaries and retirement plans will be a greater discriminator in selecting among more that one job offer. Also, the employee will be less tied to a job for health insurance reasons. There are numerous impacts, some good, some bad, and they should be mentioned.

[rhombus]

what are we going to do about it?!!

Pick our battles, see the glass as half full rather than half empty, don't just assume people will always see it our way, make fewer enemies and more friends? Hey politics is a dirty job but someone has to do it. ;-)

[Williams]

What is the plan? She is going to cover the people who don't have insurance by forcing them to buy insurance???

I sense this is going to sink her.

This b!t#h is a full blown Communist. I know that word isn't allowed any longer. You have to use Progressive or Socialist, but the results of these peoples policies are no different than those of Marx and Lennon's policies. They all leave death and destruction in their wake. Hillary Clinton is a Communist. There I said it again. COMMUNIST. I feel better now.

[monkeycard]

This is, once again, just a load of BS.

Where is the HSU story now??????........

At this point, we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed

Key words here are "at this point".

After the election will be a completely different point.

If the hospital I work for could dump our healthcare benefit and let us buy our own they would. This plan of hers sucks.
