You vill obey update . . .
The domestic policy differences between Hillary and Obama are negligible. But the Clinton camp likes to claim that his national health care plan would leave 15 million people out, whereas hers covers everyone. Let's put aside for the moment the fact that former Clinton cabinet member Robert Reich says the Obama plan would actually wind up covering more people. The key to Hillary's claim that she would cover everyone is that . . . she would punish people who refuse to fall in line.
Naturally, Clinton isn't eager to specify just what such punishment would be. But under intense questioning by Tucker Carlson on his MSNBC show this evening, senior Clinton advisor Kiki McLean coined an Orwellian euphemism. People who didn't obey wouldn't be punished. They would simply incur an . . . "outcome."

I know some of my fellow FReepers aren’t big Tucker fans. But check out the way he corners this Hillary representative. Epic!
Listened to the Mark Steyn address at CPAC on YouTube earlier and he said what she leaves out is that you would lose your job if you don’t sign up.
good video.
i haven’t seen tucker in many years, but, at least he lost the bow-tie and is willing, in this instance, to confront a lib instead of cowering in the corner like a mouse.
Let me add another comment that Hillary! has made about her health care plan, which is that, if you pay your premiums “and follow the rules”, no one can deny you health care.
I want to know, and am waiting to hear, WHAT ARE THE RULES???
Recently, in the UK, a man who smoked was refused treatment for a broken ankle.
How does the Hillary health care plan reconcile the huge costs for older self employed workers, say over 50, who currently pay huge prices? I don’t think these people have a clue, because they have probably never had to pay for their own insurance.
“If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it’s free.”
Fat, dumb KiKi is back? I feel as though I have already incurred an”outcome”.
Hillary ought to concern herself with the primary “outcome”, unless its already come out.
This doesn’t make sense. How can she do this from day 1! How can this be done at all! It is unworkable, LOL!
Obama is running ads down here in Texas that, under HIS plan,
a. Everybody would be covered.
b. Our coverage would be $2500 cheaper than it is now.
Given that the so-called "45 million uninsured" are composed of:
1. About 15 MM young people who choose not to buy insurance.
2. About 15 MM poor people who are eligible for Medicaid, but haven't yet applied because they haven't needed it.
3. And about 15 MM illegal aliens -- who can't pony up for insurance even if it's "$2500 cheaper".
Somehow, I find myself unconvinced that Senator Obama's health care plan is...er...uh...workable.
Read that as "not a steaming pile of y'know".
Yeah, and government spending is an “investment”, and taxes are “contributions”. Whatever; it’s all doubleplusgood!
Where can I view the video?
Vee haf vayss of makink you buy helss care!!!
That would not exactly help the economy. And if you work under the table like a lot of illegals, you’re already outside the system.
Thanks for posting this!
My hat goes off to Tucker, who kept asking her what the penalty would be of you don’t go along with Hillary’s “master plan” and buy health insurance...
Scary.
A viewport on the future:
HillaryCare is mandatory.
Anyone who will not participate, cannot get a job.
You can not ‘trade’ in the marketplace.
A scan code showing you participate will be tattooed on your hand.
It will entitle you to stand in line and ‘take a number’, for medical care.
All the money goes into a big government slush fund. Payouts are given to doctors based on running people through quickly, and flushing out undesirables and ‘accident prone’.
Doctors and hospitals can no longer be sued.
Patients ,however, can be sued by doctors.
