This is nothing new for Hillary the Stalinist.  In her first healthcare scheme, there were pages and pages of penalties for those who didn’t obey her “mandates”.

When you lose your freedom to say “no”, you lose your freedom.

"If the good men are silent only the wicked are heard.” - Edmund Burke

For you readers of F. Hayak in the Road to Serfdom--one of his warnings about the socialistic system: The system is designed as a one-size-fits-all, and most importantly, everyone will conform to the system.  So, for “free” health care (government provided) we the people will give up some of our freedom.  Keep in mind that Hillary and her ilk are the same people who are “so afraid” of our NSA listening in on phone calls from terrorist source countries.  We can’t trust our gov’t with phones, but we can trust them with our health care, and schools, and retirements,etc. etc.

Of the people who are in the country legally (and make no mistake - liberals are FOR taxpayer-financed health insurance for illegal aliens) only a very small percentage are without health insurance because they cannot afford it.  How much sense does it make to legislate a sweeping new government program that restricts freedom and will cost an enormous amount on the backs of the taxpayers just to solve a problem that only affects a minute percentage of Americans?

Of the people who are in the country legally (and make no mistake - liberals are FOR taxpayer-financed health insurance for illegal aliens) only a very small percentage are without health insurance because they cannot afford it.

That’s a great point.

See, the liberals need you to need the government.  The victim mentality is at the very root of the liberal agenda.

First they convince us all that we’re being victimized by one thing or another, then they ride to our “rescue” on white horses made of tax-funded subsidy and entitlement.  They tear down the ideals of individuality and self-reliance and replace it fear and dependence.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

If this were not such a serious event it would be amusing to watch Hillary and Obama try to out-Marxist each other.

I pray most Americans are aware of what they stand to lose in this election.

This was a horrible mistake on her part, and telling wage earners that they’ll be forced to pay.  Inadvertently being honest and saying “she’ll go after wages” will hurt her badly on Tuesday. Just inexcusable - a mistake Bill never would have made.

This is no surprise at all. It is all Hillary’s, and damnit to hell she will control it and you will submit and THAT IS IT. Her plan in the ‘90s created 28 new Federal Laws concerning enforcing the “no pay” socialized healthcare system. And the majority of them were to punish doctors and medical service provoders, not criminals of any kind.

Where is McCarthy when we DO need him?

Government run healthcare WILL be a boondoggle, no question about it, like Mediscare/Medicaide.  Frankly, I’ve had enough of government doing things for me...they’ve already done enought “to” me.

I am so afraid of Hill-Bag.  I would actually consider moving to Canada if she gets elected.

I hope the rest of the government officials are listening to the people who voted them in and when she tries to push this, they reject it because the people they represent really do not want the government telling them who they can see and when they can see them for a personal health issue

BRAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHBHBHAHAHAHAAAA

I wish all the people who are threatening to move to Canada would.  None ever do.

I never thought I would see the day when Repubs would threaten such a thing.

If you move it will make more room for hard working immigrants from MEXICO to risk life and limb to take your place in our economy.

Phuck Hillary and her socialized medicine. Phuck Hillary and her “enforcement clause.” Phuck all of the socialistic panzie tyrants. There is a cure for liberalism...REVOLUTION, THE BLOOD OF TYRANTS, and SECESSION.

Comment from Mark Steyn: “Today, the political platforms of at least one party in the UnitedStates and pretty much every party in the rest of the Western world arenearly exclusively about… government health care, government day care,government this, government that. And if you have government health care,you not only annex a huge chunk of the economy, you also destroy a huge chunk of individual liberty.” ---Mark Steyn
Attention liberals: See the part about individual liberty? That’s what will happen with more government involvement.  And you thought your freedoms and liberties were being destroyed by Bush.  Pull your heads out of your…

Gene - I never thought I would see the day when Repubs would threaten such a thing.

Who?

Besides the ONE in this comment thread.

Mr. Hogan,

What you seem to overlook is that to liberals, individual liberty is, at best, a secondary consideration… if that.

If individual liberty, and the responsibility and consequences that go with it, were of anything more than passing, lip service, importance they wouldn’t BE liberals to begin with.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

For lefties, individual independence is the enemy.  How can they implement all their grandiose govt schemes if people have the right to say “no”?

The only freedom liberals want is freedom from the moral responsibility that is characteristic of liberty.  They wish to be free to abort children and escape the responsibility of both parenthood and acknowledging the rights of the unborn child.  They with to escape the responsibility of work and instead redistribute the fruits of others labors.  They wish to escape the responsibility of dealing with the reality of evil in the world.  The wish to escape the reality of universal moral absolutes and instead force everyone else to accept their own relative morality at the expense of the unalienable rights that afford each person true liberty.  The wish to escape the excellence and achievement that results from liberty and instead exalt mediocracy.  To liberals socialism and even marxism is freedom.
