WASHINGTON - 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.
"At this point, we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed," the presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We're providing incentives and tax credits which we think will be very attractive to the vast majority of Americans."
— like when your kid goes to school and has to show proof of vaccination," but said such details would be worked out through negotiations with Congress.
I talked to one of the trad priests the other day and he promised he would leave the country if Hillary wins.
That’s the truth!
Should have read Clinton on Drugs.
Hillary wants to be the author of a Social Security-Style system that INSURES Democrat Domination for DECADES to come.
EVERY election, from here on out, will be FULL of Kind-Hearted Democrats promising MORE, and Better coverage, in return for MORE of your income.
Meanwhile, those evil republicans will be trying to KILL children and the elderly if they DARE to speak out against it.
“We can’t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.”

It sounds like a clear case of propaganda game to me. A good way to innocuously convince people of what others around them feel about things while pretending to be a game with no agenda.
It seems a little too convenient for the network to be telling people a majority of Americans support the Communizing of our medical industry before it becomes a big issue for the democrats in this up coming election.
I do not believe a majority of Americans will want a socialized medical system once they understand why they all lag behind our lousy system.
There is a reason why even with our insane malpractice lottery and FDA foot-dragging and CYA, we remain the leading edge of world medicine. There is just not enough motivation to risk change in a socialized system.
That would be the 51% of Americans that pay less than 4% of the total taxes paid .. they're willingness reflects the fact that it doesn't cost them squat, it's another entitlement they can guzzle down from big brother's teat.
“Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb? Mother do you think they’ll like this song? Mother do you think they’ll try to break, my balls?”
Hillary's Gov. plan is mandatory. Making 'healthcare' a Gov priority; of and in itself, makes this plan punitive. But there is surely a price to pay as well, for those who imagine they have an option of 'resistance'. . .
Got a hint yesterday; for those who decline to cooperate.
Taser stock should go way up. . .
“At this point, we don’t have anything punitive that we have proposed”
Any person who calls themselves a conservative should get chills reading that line. Who are “We?” What are the possibilities for “punitive?” Quite frankly, anyone who isn’t repulsed/frightened by this statement, I probably don’t want voting in our Republic.
Scary.

OK, someone is going to ask, why AirAmerica on the drive in? At 4:00 its that or infomercials. and a good laugh wakes me up.
“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”
The bureaucracy alone would dwarf the IRS.
Why does she always yell when she speaks?
The Heinous Harridan is perfecting her Adolf Hitler style of shrieking for all of those mass meetings of the sheeple she is going to have when she takes over as dictator.

Every penny of everyone’s health benefits should be fully taxed as income. (Cut rates to make it neutral, or course.)
The massive subsidy is what has caused health care inflation in the first place.
