Imagine if Hillary had her way with health care.
Once the government starts providing health care, it becomes a state interest how well you take care of yourself. Your behavior becomes a factor in government expenditure. If you smoke, drink, eat fatty foods, don't exercise, you are costing the government money, and therefore, subject to government sanction.
Its a brave new world we are heading into. A world of socialism that can give you everything you need, or take it away.
The government already considers your poor health a detriment to maximized tax receipts. Since citizens are clearly the main source of government income, anything that impedes the efficient use of the human resource is a bad thing.
I want to know what her plan is like for those who have chronic health conditions. The very thought of it terrifies me.
"If Hillary had her way with health care..."
Some of us are already there. For those retired on Medicare the rationing has aready begun.
this past August, alone on my ranch,I was bitten by a cotton mouth water moccosin in my vegetable garden. The bill came to 2700.00 at the hospital The ambulance 588.00. Medicare paid only 331.00!!!! And NOTHING on the ambulance bill. Medigap policy won't pay for anything Medicare disallows either. I'm afraid we're expected to keep paying and hopefully die if there's any chance we might run up a bill. Some are doing just that.
My neihbor was bitten in the face by a rattlesnake same time last year. She died sitting in a lawn chair on her front porch waiting for the ambulance. (same EMT guys who came for me.) Don't guess either was a true medical emergency.
Seniors need to be made aware of this rip-off. I've paid over 4,000 in premiums and never had a claim until now. I think everyone is going to love national health care!!!
Remember the little white card that Clinton held up when touting Hillary Care? Well that card will be scanned at the check-out counter and anything not on you prescribed diet from the Directorate of Dietary Compliance will be seized. Multiple offenders will be disqualified from recieving healthcare.
Yes, everything you need... but nothing you want.
WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!

I've long held the belief that those wonderful little 'super saver' cards and key fobs we all use at our local grocery store provide a great infrastructure for the gov't to track and enforce our eating habits if gov't health care ever comes to pass.
Everyone clamoring for Government mandated and paid for healtcare should think about it very carefully. Is it worth the tradeoff? I say no.

That which is not prohibited will be mandatory. Socialism is slavery.
When I applied for Arlington County Police you had to sign a waiver stating you do not smoke or have quit. Even off duty.
