What Hillary Wants
What is it that Hillary Clinton wants?
We can talk about Senator Clinton. She
is not the nominee of her party or a candidate. So we are talking about a U.S.
Senator and her plans for America. She made those plans very clear on June 3rd,
in a speech
covered coast-to coast.
She said a lot. One thing stuck in my heart for
sure. She still wants a government takeover of the private health care system in
America. Here is what she said:
"That's why I want universal health care. It is wrong -
that Americans pay 50 percent more for health care than the people of any other
wealthy nation, with costs doubling this decade, and nearly 50 million people
without any health insurance at all.
It is wrong for parents to have to choose between care for themselves or their
children, to be stuck in dead-end jobs just to keep their insurance, or to give
up working altogether so their kids will qualify for Medicaid."
"I've been working on this issue not just for the past 16 months, but for 16
years. And it is a fight - it is a fight I will continue until every single
American has health insurance, no exceptions and no excuses."
Not a lot of people were around for Hillary's
health care campaign sixteen years ago. The Roundtable was. We helped to defeat
that plan, by mobilizing a 14-state coalition of opposition.
We still have a copy of her ill-fated plan. She still wants it. We still think
it would be a tragedy. No exceptions and no excuses.
Candidates come and go, but the issues of life and death remain. You can learn
