Clinton suggests garnishing wages for universal health coverage
 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 moneyDemocrat 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 Posted by: Frank G 2008-02-03 |
