We basically have socialized healthcare in this country now. Hillary!'s version is being implemented piecemeal.

Her mistake was that she wanted it all right away. 'Pod

First of all, we have heavily regulated healthcare which is substantially different than socialized medicine. [at least for the time being.]

But more importantly, you make my point by proving that Hillary is geting much of her healthcare agenda by taking it slower and piecemealing it to the American public.

But why do we criticize Republicans who do the same thing? We call them 'spineless' for simply following the same incremental strategy the libs have been using for years.

Ummmmm... hate to bring this up, but exactly where in the Constitution is it written that my money is taken from me at the point of a gun (for that is what taxes are - legalized extortion) to provide someone else free or heavily subsidized healthcare?

Why should conservatives be in favor of this....? Heavily regulated and third-payer insurance with mandated fees reimbursed by government to me is not much different than Gvt provided healthcare. I fail to see the difference.
