Clinton suggests garnishing wages for universal health coverage
2008-02-03
Just remember this when you say "staying away is better if McCain is the GOP nominee". This is Socialism writ large and in plain view by someone who knows better than you how to spend your money
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to have workers' wages garnisheed if they refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.

The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed during a television interview, she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people's wages, automatic enrollment."
"for their own good!"
Clinton said such measures would apply only to workers who can afford health coverage but refuse to buy it, which puts undue pressure on hospitals and emergency rooms. Under her plan, she said, health care "will be affordable for everyone" because she would limit premium payments "to a low percent of your income."
"low percent" is so malleable in a Clinton's hands

#16  Funny stuff. Electing Hillary is like committing a crime. In each case the state has to garnish your wages to make it right.

#14  "Living in a MARXIST country" > Again, FREREPUBLIC Poster - WHY SHOULD RUSSIA-CHINA WANT TO ATTACK A SOCIALIST AMERICA???

9-11/WOT > PCorrectness-Deniability > ITS NOT SOCIALISM, GOVERNMENTISM, the WELFARE-NANNY STATE, .......or even EMPIRE, etc. ITS "NATIONAL SECURITY", PUBLIC SAFETY, DEFENSE OF AMERICA + DEMOCRACY-LIBERTIES [Socialist-Govtist?], etc.

*Lest we fergit, FASCISM = RIGHTIST SOCIALISM-GOVTISM = relabeled as LIMITED LEFTISM-SOCIALISM, LIMITED COMMUNISM, etc.

AMONG OTHER PREMISES/THINGYS, YEAR 2008 > WILL BE THE YEAR OF DECISION AS TO WHETHER AMERICA REMAINS A TRADITIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC = REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY; or else CONTINS ON THE PATH TO NATIONA-GLOBAL SOCIAL + GOVT CENTRALISM, traditional Constitutional Federalism + SEPARATION OF POWERS; versus anti-/non-Constitutional, anti/non-Traditional CENTRALISM + UNITARIANISM. etc.

And now you know, VIRGINIA, why SANTA CLAUSE says STATUS QUO [Nationalist] = EMPIRE [Globalist].

#13  FOXNEWS > O'REILLY [paraph] > "ARNOLD CARE" failed in California becuz the CA STATE GOVT couldn't afford it, and most CA voters don't want to pay more = higher taxes, ESPEC FOR ILLEGALS.

#12  Hillary says a lot of things. Voters really ought to pay more attention to what she is saying. They might find themselves living in a Marxist country if they are not careful. The American Conservative Union rates Hillary and Obama around 8-10 percent based on voting record. McCain is rated around 65-80 percent depending upon whether you are talking about 2006 or 2005. He made a large blunder linking up with Kennedy on the Immigration bill. Hopefully, he has seen the light.

#10  They think they can just declare her "KING" and it will happen, that scares me badly.

What scares me more is that they are probably right.

#9  This will just make illegals more employable, and they *STILL* will be using health care they don't pay for.

#7  It bears repeating. My modified version of Moore's Law - Hillary Clinton shows her true Marxist bona fides every six weeks.

#6  Maybe so, but the Democrats have already elected her President, Media be damned. Voting be damned.

#5  A simpler solution is for the state to confiscate all wages and give back portion based on how much you deserve and whether you will spend it wisely.

#4  What she says doesn't matter much at this point the Media seem to have already elected Obama President.
