“I think my strong advocacy for universal health care puts me in a much better position [than Obama] to take on John McCain. You know McCain is going to get up there and say ‘I have a health plan. It’s going to cover a lot of people.' I think it would be a big mistake for Democrats to nominate someone who has already conceded on the issue of universal health care."

- Hillary Clinton on Saturday, about Barack Obama's health care plans for uninsured Americans

    As a public health major I believe there is a way to make universal healthcare work but this woman and no other current model is cost effective or that bennificial to anyone. Canadians who have money are coming to the US to recieve healthcare everyday because for one canadian doctors are only paid a certain amount of money no matter what…if you want to be a doctor and you have 100's of thousands of dollars in school loans you are not going to want to practice in Canada. So there is going to be less and less highly specialized and skilled doctors that are wanting to practice. Also since everyone has healthcare coverage you could wait months and months to see your doctor. Even if you have a life threatening illness. Besides all this the cost of this universal coverage that Hillary wants to put in place is going to cost BIG TIME and who do you think is going to pay for it??? Don't vote for her just because she has a universal health plan, there is not a universal model that has been developed that is worth it at this point.

    Universal Healthcare is an awful idea. Look at Canada– they have universal health care. If that becomes adopted by the US, we will all have to wait months for major surgeries and to see our doctors. There will be no ER visits under 24 hours. Everything will be jacked up.

    People in this country need to get their lazy asses off their couches and WORK, dammit! I am sick and tired of the government giving our hard-earned money to low-lifes and welfare mommies who are too lazy to work for themselves. Why give everyone free healthcare too? It's absurd!

    I think that it's a bad idea to nominate somebody who's already had so much time to get something like universal health care done, and failed. Eight years in the White House, and how many years in the senate? She won't get you guys universal health care anymore than George Dub-ya has.

    Perez, Hillary Clinton's plan is simply Bill's failed plan from the 90's that ended up ruining the rest of his time in office. It was Bill's attempt at getting Universal Healthcare that made flu vaccines impossible to come by a decade ago. Hillary has no idea what she's talking about when it comes to healthcare, and the US citizens don't want to have healthcare like Canada! Universal Healthcare makes things inefficient and forces people who are poor to buy insurance whether they can afford it or not!!

    Take it from me, I'm a college student in New York and we are FORCED to pay nearly $600 or more a semester to buy the governments insurance if we want to attend the state's schools!! It's completely ludicrous and it's really hard to come up with and extra $1,200 a year when I never need to see the doctor or go to the hospital, and if I get a cold or need pencilin I can just go to health services on campus for free.

    DON'T LET HILLARY FOOL YOU, she'll ruin this country worse than Bush already has AND she supports the war in iraq.

    “We cannot afford to elect someone, as we did with George Bush, and then be somewhat surprised by the decisions that are made and the directions that he leads the country,” Mrs. Clinton said. “The best way to avoid that is to have a candidate who will tell you what she will do, and then is held accountable for doing it once she’s in office. That’s the way I like to run my campaign, and that’s the kind of president I’ll be.”

    John - if millions are left uninsured in Obama's plan it is because they are not currently in a position to afford it - not because they are not eligible to get it - ok?
    .
    Hillary strikes me as one of these quick talking - chuck so much info at you real fast - sorta person - it all sounds good, but when you think about it overall there is a lot of give with one hand, take with the other. You've been told you will have universal healthcare free to all, you've been told you won't be charged interest on mortgages for 5 years, you've been told you can earn up to $10,000 a year doing service as a student. Ok - great.
    .
    Except, you have to pay healthcare insurance or pay fines, you can earn $10,000 a year as a student (doing who knows how much work?) doing public service, which will raise your income, therefore also your taxes and lower your health insurance subsidies, and goodness knows how she will make it so every lender to every homeowner does not charge interest on home loans for 5 years (but the interest will still accrue and compound), but at least there's a chance she will be out of office before that blows up in ya face innit?

  12. Jay says – reply to this


    412

    Cont.
    Or you can go with a pragmatic approach from Obama. Cover your kids for health insurance but choose to cover yourself if you can afford to. Get $4000 straight off your student fees per year for some community service. Those with mortgages from predatory lenders have the mortgage brought by the Government who provides a low and stable interest rate. Your choice!

    Re: from europe – Honestly what this person has said is TRUTH! People with money in Canada and other European countries are coming to the US to be treated because of the waiting periods (as well as other reasons) in their country. Do yourself some good and research it…These systems have very serious flaws and there is no universal health care coverage in effect that is working the way it should.

    PEREZ….Have you forgotten that this trick voted for the war in Iraq? She has piss poor judgment and would not make a good president at all. I don't want to be forced to pay for health care. Obama's plan is much more realistic and fair. America doesn't need another Bush or Clinton in office. We need real change that will only come by electing Barack Obama.

    Perez, We get it, you're selling Hillary. You've said your peace, now stop. People come here for he gossip you peddle, not your keen political mind. You thrive on tearing people apart with your overly critical points of view, not making sense of the issues.

    Re: cj – This isn't universal the way Canada and Europe have it. Her plan REQUIRES EVERYONE to get insurance, whether they can afford it or not. She has no plan to help those who can't afford it pay. Those people are just shit out of luck, and wil lhave to sacrifice food and shelter costs to meet her high standards.

    Obama's plan requires companies to lower premiums so that EVERYONE can AFFORD to buy health insurance - that's the difference. the might not REQUIRE it the way Hillary does, thus making it not "universal" in a sense. But he's making it affordable, which is why so many people are uninsured in this country.

    Neither of them are proposing government run healthcare - which is what Canada and Eruope have - they both want private corps. to run it, so things would be the same as they are now.

    I'm sorry but I do not want to wait on line at a clinic for my health care. I have a job, I pay for my insurance and I like my doctors. do you people really want to wait the whole day WHILE you are SICK to see a doctor? and do you THINK she will have the same "universal" program for herself? Its' amazing how dumb democrats are. She is terrible.

    426

    Her universial health care is a joke. It forces people over 40 who need surgery to go out of the country for treatment since her "plan" won't cover it since they are past the age requirement. Then these other countries require cash payments upfront!

    Re: Epiphany – Thank you. You managed to voice the concern many Americans have with Obama's candidacy without sounding truly ignorant and racist. Obama seriously frightens me either way - if he wins, will I be punished for the sins of my ancestors in the name of "change we can believe in"? And if he loses, will somebody burn down my house because they didn't get the "change" they felt entitled to? Either way, it's a really scary prospect and nobody seems to be addressing it.

    I think this may be a false rumour but Obama did admit his Cocaine Use and I think we have to take this admission by Obama very seriously…if it is true I don't think the Republican's are going to leave this Drug issue alone!!!

    Re: christina

    Obama's plan will actually raise rates for those who do pay because we will still be covering those who opt not to get insurance at all. The non issurance holders are a main reason why current rates are so high. Health Care has no hope of becoming reasonable until all participate. Hillary's plan is the same as all the Senators get and you know they take care of themselves. You have options by the 100's including keeping whjat you already have. Hillary's plan also does much more to curb the cost related to the precripion drug over cost. You should go to both canidates web sites and actually compare the plans, how they are going to pay for them and truly figure out what is best. Being informed is a good thing.

    Hillary's health care plan can't stand up to the Republicans. It's going to be labeled SOCIALIZED MEDICINE and will never be able to get the Republican support any health care plan is going to need in order to be passed. Obama's plan ALREADY has bi-partisan support. Obama is not only electable, he's going to get much needed legislation passed when he's in the white house because he can bring democrats AND republicans to the table.

    If her plan is so great why didn't she pursuade people to vote for it while she has been a senator. How will she pay for this 100's of billion dollar plan? It WILL NOT happen.

    Stop the nanny state. Fight for freedom. The more the government "gives" you, the more it takes from you, in terms of money, personal choice, and liberty. Compulsory universal health care is another step toward making America the land of the cowed and the coerced. Universal health care will put all the power in the hands of the government, the American Medical Association. and the pharmaceutical companies, who can be kept in check only when the individual has the freedom to make other choices.

    Number one…. economists who have looked at her plan say it can't work. There are an extra 15 billion in costs that she can't cover!! Meaning the subsidies she says the poor will receive to help cover the cost won't be there. So poor people will be forced, by law, to have insurance when they can't afford it. Hundreds will be taken out of their paychecks! I thought we wanted to help the lower and middle classes! We NEED universal health coverage, but only when we can afford to cover those who can't pay!!!!

    There is indeed talk of a Mccain-Huckabee ticket for the Republicans. Many Republicans feel that Mccain is too moderate, so Huckabee will mollify their concerns greatly. Arizona is ticked off with Mccain that he isn't harsh enough with the illegals and I agree. I would vote for a Mccain Huckabee alliance and I think the rest of the country will too. This will give Huckabee a leg up in 2012.

    Too bad she has taken millions in health care lobbyist money, so she has absolutely no intention of giving Americans health care. Her "plan" forces Americans, regardless of their ability to pay, to put money toward health coverage. Instead of her funding a war, we could easily put tax payers money toward a uni health care plan that would greatly help everyone. Everyone seems to have missed the boat, Dennis had the best plan for health care, too bad Americans are only looking for a candidate that has been bought off by special interest groups.

    Re: cj – Actually they (WE) are coming because we can get it done here but everything is generally CHEAPER in America and they/you have some really good hospitals and doctors.
    You don't have the best and you are not the best overall but the fact is that the USA does have some of the top people and a lot of people want to go to the best. There are easily places that people can get treated if they wanted to.
    The reason people are going to America (from the UK) is the same reason they are going to INDIA, and BUDAPEST etc!!! BECAUSE IT'S CHEAPER!!!!!!
    It's not surprising that people from tiny countries want to go to places where there are a lot more doctors, or where it is cheaper.
    As for waiting lists…what do you expect? You can't treat everyone right away.
    If people need a specific thing sooner and really can't wait, they can choose to go private for that one thing.
    That's much better than having to pay through the nose constantly for even basic healthcare.

    Universal Health Care will destroy this countries health care system.
    Talk to Canadians, they come here to get the better treatment because the universal health care has run their system to the ground. If we get it, we all better expect to have short lives because we won't have a free market system anymore for health care providers to compete to get our business.
    I read a story that a woman was having quadruplets in a big city in Canada and had to cross the border in a smaller Montana town, because the healthcare system in Canada could'nt handle the situation. But, a small town in USA did have the proper equipment and knowledge to handle it.

    We'll probably get both in office one as President and one as Vice President. John McCain will only put America into a further economic crisis.

    Re: megRe: meg – Tax hikes for those making 250,000 or more, taxing the rich more is the best thing that could happen to this country. They should pay more, they can actually afford to. Also drug companies have been handed out very lucrative amounts of money by mr. bush. That's the thing about conservatives they are conservative with their values but quick to spend your tax dollars on funding these big companies that for god sakes don't need any more money that's the last thing they need. Give the advantages back to the people. Bush has us imprisoned. We are his slaves bitches!

    Re: GO HILLARY! BRING IT HOME GIRL!!

    Obama has more real experience than Hillary Clinton. He has been a civil rights worker, and Constitutional Law Professor, and was and IL State Senator for 7 years before he ran for the US Sentate. HIllary Clinton sat on the WalMart board and did nothing as they busted unions. She double billed at her law office. And she refuses to release her White House Papers showing all the "experience" she claims she had under BillO's Administration.

    She voted for the Iraq war, and trusted Bush. She is an idiot or did it for political gain - both equally bad as our soliders continue to die. Then she signed the Kyl-Lieberman bill which is the exact same wording that Bush used to get us into Iraq for Iran!

    She used sleazy, rovian tactics and race baited in her campign. Disenfranchised votes in Nevada and sent out a flyer FULL of LIES about Obama's record in NH/

    YOu want to vote for more corruption and stupidity? The Hillary is "your girl"

    You want a real President and real change for this country?

    Yeah…Obama's health plan is much better than Hillary's. Forcing people to buy health insurance is not the way to go about it. Obama's plan is to make it affordable for everyone. Hillary may want universal health care, but forcing people to buy health care that may or may not be cheaper than it is right now isn't right. Under her plan, only the poorest people would receive the taxpayer's dollars to help them pay for a portion of their coverage, and everyone else who is deemed "eligible to pay" would be required to pay full price, whether they could truly afford it or not. Obama would work to lower prices so everyone has the ability to afford it without mandating that everyone purchase insurance.

    You people are morons. If she wins the nomination she will get her ass kicked in the general because nothing will incite the republican base more than her running for president. Open your eyes, a female president would be great but it is not going to be her. They will pull out everything they have and they will beat her and we will be stuck with McCain and be in Iraq for 100 years. Obama is harder to beat. Think longterm people. If you want to be stuck with another republican for 8 years….vote for Hillary, you will get your wish.

    Obama says you have the option of being covered, but you still have to pay back premiums if you have to go to the hospital for the amount of months you didn't pay. He just prolongs the payment and it will be a nasty one if you are ever admitted to the hospital.

    President Clinton took no action after the first World Trade Center attack in 1993. There was proof-positive of a third terrorist with definitive connections to Middle Eastern Terrorists in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, (which you can read more about atThe Northeast Intelligent Network) that was never fully investigated and hidden by the media.
    No action was taken after the 1996 attacks on Kohbar towers is Saudia Arabia, nor the bombing of a U.S. embassy in Peru in 1998. He did respond to the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya by launching air missles into Sudan and Afghan targets, however the New York Times reported that officials claimed the missles were not targeted at Bin Laden.
    There was also no action taken after the attacks on the U.S.S. Cole in 2000.
    This is the Clinton legacy that Senator Clinton openly embraces, but wants you to forget.

    *shakes head in shame* Doesn't she realize that having universal health care helps NO ONE! Not the taxpayers, the medical profession or the people who will receive it. It keeps people from choosing doctors, getting the correct help and INCREASES costs for those who have health insurance because the doctors will up their prices to make up for the lack of funds that will come through the govt mandated healthcare. THIS HELPS NO ONE!!!! This woman is ridiculous. She failed once and shouldn't be running on the healthcare platform. what a loser.

    Re: cj

    and of course there is some flaws in ours like in any system, but the US have the worst healthcare system in the developped world and honestly you should care about it and all together put a great effort to have a better system!! how it comes the greatest nation has the worst system, it does not make sense!
    how it comes that in this great country 1 american on four doesn't have a health insurance and have to struggle to get expensive medications!!!
    you should at least give it a shot!

    I didn't knew there is rumors that say that you have to wait for months for having surgery in Europe, but truely believe me that is not true i experienced it: my mom had surgery 2 month ago,she had within 48 hours, i have a dear friend who had the infortune to have breast cancer at 25 she was taken in great care for free and then again immediatly, i had surgery few years ago then again it was done within 24 hours… so I don't know where these rumors come from.. but they are not true!!! i live here and i experienced it!

O and wasn't that the only thing she was given responsibility for while her 'husband' was president?…

    Oh and whoever said it took a year to get an MRI is talking crap. They have deadlines such as when you are put on a waiting list for certain things it must be under a certain amount of time. I think it's 6 weeks for an MRI.
    TRUE there are the exceptions who have to wait up to a year. But the majority of people are saw/treated within a few months.
    AND, it is TOTAL bull that you need to wait 24hours in the ER. The average is about 3 or 4 hours depending on what is wrong with you of course. I have not even heard of anyone ever being there for that long.

    I completely agree with you. She's too corrupt, and she really hasn't accomplished much in the 35 years she loves to brag about. If you think the country is in sad shape now, just imagine what it would be like with her as president. She would put forth all of her plans and programs, then would leave office just before shit would hit the fan.

    You realize that universal health care means that YOU will be paying for everyone elses healthcare. People with jobs (and insurance) will be punished (taxed) to give to the unsuccessful. Great system! Look how great it worked out for USSR and East Germany!

    If you want to help the poor do it on your own, don't force your morals on the entire country. All of these people spouting how much they want UHC probably never donate to charities, what they really want is a free ride.
