#1 The two problems Hillary cannot get around: (1) another large government-run regulocracy which will turn into a boondoggle (2) forcing healthy people who need no medical care to pay huge amounts for caring for the ill.

#2 so basically, I'll end up paying more than I do now, for an ineffectual and bureaucratic system which will make my health decisions for me. F*ck that

#3 All the whiners want immortality at the expense of everyone else. Who decides who gets what in the end. If Canada, the Netherlands, et al are any example, the AARP crowd are in for a rude awaking when 'extraordinary' measures are removed from the program list. You know the year plus waits for surgery or treatments which are readily available now [hoping they'll die off before they add more to the cost of ~~business~~ the budget]. If you thought insurance bean counters had no heart, wait till you see government bureaucrats [from the people who've given you the American education system and the Bureau of Indian Affairs].

#4 The Unions would be big benefactors with any comprehensive government plan. With the unions' aging member workforce (and steadily declining membership), they're going to be in a world of hurt with the union self-funded health care systems as the current workforce retires and the 'negotiated retirement health-care benefits' kick in. The larger unions are hemorrhaging $$ now just to provide health benefits AND fund their 'candidates'.

If the AFL-CIO says it's a good thing, then I'm highly suspicious.

#5 Billary will say anything-ANYTHING to get elected. There is no integrity with the Clintons.
