Hillary Clinton: My New Socialized Medicine Plan Is The Best Idea Mitt Romney Ever Had!
From an article about Hillary’s new health care initiative:
Here’s a chart showing how 1990’s-era “Hillarycare” worked:

We can hope it’s simpler, but I’m guessing it won’t be. Oh, and by the way, she’s claiming that her newest health care scheme isn’t “government-run.”
“This is not government-run,” Clinton said of her plan to extend coverage to an estimated 47 million Americans who now go without.
She called for a requirement for businesses to obtain insurance for employees, and said the wealthy should pay higher taxes to help defray the cost for those less able to pay for it. She put the government’s cost at $110 billion a year.
“Perhaps more than anybody else I know just how hard this fight will be,” said the New York senator.
Dismissing the inevitable Republican criticism, Clinton admonished the crowd. “I know my Republican opponents will try to equate health care for all Americans with government-run health care. Don’t let them fool us again. This is not government-run.”
I fail to see how, under any definition, government requirements for mandated insurance coverage (including who must be covered, who must pay and what sorts of procedures/illnesses must be covered) isn’t “government-run.” I mean, the government isn’t exactly taking the premium payments and cutting checks to the doctors, but it would be calling all the shots under Hillary’s plan.
And that, my friends, is “government-run.” That Hillary has to hide the fact that her plan is, essentially, socialized medicine is telling.
By the way, anyone wondering where Hillary got the idea for this new health care plan? Mitt Romney, maybe? It’s essentially the same thing as what Romney got passed in Massachusetts. What’s scary is that “Romneycare” hasn’t worked in Mass., but Hillary keeps pushing it anyway.
