I feel bad for Mr Ashanti. Spending the night being interrogated by the Secret Service, then coming home to that IRS audit team ripping his home apart, his family being run through the mill. Boy, talk about fuck ups.

Would it not be best if Hillary just kept her trap shut? Her liberal moronic thoughts make me sick. BTW didnt she have a shot at fixing health care?

Clinton went on to champion Medicare, but criticize the U.S. as the only “advanced country” to have “so many of its citizens without health care.”

I would love for someone to point out to Hitlery that in Canada with their socialized medicine the hospitals are unionized which means the doctors can, and do, go on strike leaving patients to die in the halls. I’m sure they’d rather have to make sacrifices to pay for the health care like they always have, versus that alternative.

Notice how, when Her Highness is rattling off countries that have socialized medicine (you know, the kind she says they don’t have?), she shrewdly omits Cuba?

Sure, the leftards reference Cuba all the time, even though everyone knows Cuban health care is in shambles (except for the tourist hospitals). But more than that, she knows that speaking positively of Castro like her moonbat constituents do will bite her in her ample posterior come general election time. Pretty slick, Hilldawg.

This is the typical liberal argument. Either intentionally or out of pure ignorance and notable lack of discernment, simple and obvious facts are uneccessarily complicated. The confusion which follows is misunderstood as complexity prompting highly subjective solutions which, lacking facts, common sense and practicality, are excused as deep and intellectual.

To those who have any discernment whatsoever, this is blatant obfuscation.

As is typical with deceit, there is a smidgen of truth in this argument. If we are to distinguish between “Universal” and “Socialized”, as could be inferred, then enforcing policy outside national boundaries would be more akin to authoritarianism on a global scale. Obedience to such a global political system and authority could be a subtle way of acheiving control of all nation’s economic and natural resources. Isn’t that what the far left has been accusing Capitalists of — empire-building?

If this is the case, “universal health-care” is far more sinister and destructive than “socialized health-care”.

ews48, you are so right, I hope she is the Dem candidate so she will keep talking and finish showing everyone with a brain what a full-blown SOCIALIST with Fascist tendencies she is before it comes down to the wire.
No matter how fractured the R/Conservatives, with Hill to run against even Gulianni could get elected!

She punctuated her answer with a stinging, yet cordial invitation to Ashanti: “I don’t know who you are. But you come introduce yourself to my staff and we will try to give you some information if you’re interested in being educated instead of being rhetorical.”

Just curious if by that she meant she would be providing him with a copy of Michael Moore’s SiCKO.

That free health care sure is expensive.

While Hillary wants to set herself apart, she’s still part of the system. The system that is predicated on corporate profits and not the well being of the patient. The CEO’s of the large HMO’s and pharmaceutical companies have the same agenda as any other corporate leader. Raise their company’s stock price or lose their job which pays their obscene salary and bonus. Health care corporation’s focus is financial and they are not concerned with access to care or the quality of care their patients receive.

These same companies will push for tort reform because it limits their liability in medical malpractice lawsuits. They want to limit patient access, reduce their costs and not have any responsibility. The trial lawyers will not tolerate these unconstitutional limits and are fed by the victim’s misfortune. We have all heard the advertisements asking, “Has anything bad ever happened to you. Someone else should pay. Call us now. Time is running out.” How would they survive if they could only make a few hundred dollars an hour? (Assuming, of course, that they are not double billing). However, without these legal wolves patrolling the health care system even doctors would be in at risk to corporate domination.

Where does this leave the doctor? Right next to the patient in the over-crowded emergency room wondering how things have gotten so out of control.
