Hillarycare Nanny State PING!

The Affordable Care Act may become even more of a nightmare with Hillary Clinton in the White House, says Betsy McCaughey, chairwoman of the Committee to Reduce Infectious Deaths and former lieutenant-governor of New York.
"Hillary could make it worse," McCaughey said Friday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV, referencing Clinton's attempt to launch a heathcare plan when her husband, Bill Clinton, was president. "Hillarycare back in November 1993, all 1,362 pages of it . . . was far more coercive than Obamacare."
For example, said McCaughey, a medical doctor, Clinton's plan was far more rigid than President Barack Obama's signature healthcare plan.
"Obamacare is using ads and streets fairers to try to get people to sign up. And sure, there's a penalty, but the Congressional Budget Office says 90 percent of the people who don't sign up aren't going to pay the penalty There are so many exemptions," McCaughey said.
"Mrs. Clinton would not have taken no for an answer. Under her plan, you were involuntarily signed up whether you liked it or not. And if you didn't pay the premium, your wages could be garnished, according to testimony she gave to the House committee.
"So, there was no saying no to Mrs. Clinton. In order just to go to a doctor, you had to be enrolled or get enrolled on the spot. It was literally against the law under Hillary Clinton … for a doctor to take a payment directly from a patient. Direct billing, balanced billing — against the law. So, how many doctors would treat patients for free, right?"

Hillarycare Nanny State PING!
For as horrible as Obama is, he’s nothing - nothing - to what Hillary would have been.
Nothing.
Hillary’s healthcare plan was the individual mandate. in the primaries in 2008, Obama destroyed her for it.
Under Hillary, concierge medicine would be outlawed.
Good bye “Royal Pains.”
I remember hers was HORRIBLE.
I think she is as sick in the head as Obama. There was something weird about the Rodham family I betcha!
Obama has shown how much power an Imperious, feral president can wield if he/she cares nothing about breaking laws and stomping on the constitution.
Hillary as president would feel compelled to outdo Obama and know that there is nothing to stop her.
Back When Hillary was president, she mandated that child vaccine companies practically give away their product.
Therefore, child vaccines became alarmingly in short supply because they said FU, and stopped producing it, rather than loose money.
Then Hillary won! Screw sick children, look at the evil corporations that must be destroyed.
And in the media, there was much rejoicing.... yea!
That's what Rush will be paying (and another $2448 if Catherine isn't covered).
2007 called, they want their narrative back. Hillary Clinton is not a serious candidate.
how is it possible that Romney’s taxes are everybody’s business,
but Hillary’s health is not.
she does not look well.
Mrs. Bill’s formula included mobility controls. You would have to register your travel plans or risk being caught outside your medical area and thus be ineligible for care.
No. She is just a garden variety Communist.
“For as horrible as Obama is, he’s nothing - nothing - to what Hillary would have been.”
And this is why, should Jeb be the nominee, I will hold my nose and vote for him. I will try to nominate someone who is a true Conservativei in the Primaries, but I will not sit on my @ss and not vote! That’s just a vote for Clinton. I’m extremely unhappy about it, but that’s the way it is...........
Agree, but many will not vote for Bush perhaps giving the election to Hillary just as they stayed home rather than vote for Romney ensuring the Socialist remained in the White House. So we go from a Socialist to a Communist with HILLARY. Her health plan called for telling doctors where and even what specialty they would practice.
Just a correction as to the authors claim that Betsy McCaughey is a Medical Doctor...NO, she was a PHD in Constitutional History from Columbia but is no more a MD than HILLARY... of course unlike HILLARY, Betsy doesn’t have designs on controlling all medical care in the country.
Bush, Clinton. Neither will get close.
Americans don’t like monarchies. It’s in our cultural DNA.
