When It Comes to HealthCare Reform - Who is Better?
Obama or Clinton?
According to Marilyn Clement, National Coordinator for Healthcare - NOW, neither is all that hot.
"What is obvious to all of us is that neither of them is willing to utter the S word – Single Payer," she said in a recent email. "They have been terrified by the traditionalist Washington Beltway groups who insist that single payer is not feasible.
"However, more and more know that the insurance companies are killing people – every day. The new statistics show that 101,000 people in the U.S. die unnecessarily from illness – far more than any of the single payer countries that provide healthcare for all of their people.
"Hillary Clinton supports the atrocious individual mandate program introduced in Massachusetts and California by Republican governors Romney and Schwarzenegger. It is also supported by the Heritage Foundation and the insurance companies who are making a killing off of the fact that the government of Massachusetts is criminalizing anyone in the state who does not purchase insurance from them. Many of them are being forced to pay penalties even though they still don’t have any health insurance. Ms Clinton almost got it right in one of the debates when she said, well, if people were not required to participate, the Medicare and Social Security programs wouldn’t work.
"Barack Obama too is requiring everyone to purchase insurance, even when he talks about his plan that would allow everyone to participate in the Federal Employees program – a program that provides everybody with a list of private insurance companies from whom they must purchase their insurance.
"To be fair, both Hillary and Barack talk about some kind of public plan too. No details yet.
"We should be clear that we don’t have to wait any longer. We are the ones we have been waiting for, to quote June Jordan and Miss Ella Baker of the civil rights movement. We have work to do right now."

Amen!
Hillary's Health Care Plan - I will take your money whether you like it or not and spend it on someone else's health care.
Barak's Health Care Plan - I will force you to pay your money to the government so we can spend it on someone else's health care.
It's a distinction without a difference.
Say, heard a report on public radio today about a woman leading a fight to get Manitou Springs restaurants to bna trans fats ...
Interesting, anything like that afoot in The Springs?
Ah yes, the "Let's force people to participate for their own good" type. Usually goes along with the "It's OK if we force others to do what we want but not OK if they return in kind" type. Marilyn Clement embodies both types. FOAD, bitch!
do you folks know what condition the existing med-waiver program is like?
do you know what condition the existing SSI program is like?
why does everyone want to grow uncontrolled government plans?
Why is it that libs and democrats talk so much about choice....how they're so "pro-choice"......but when it come to programs THEY want to take money out of YOUR pocket, they don't want you to have ANY choice. It's their way or the highway to jail........
