Clinton health plan may mean tapping pay

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to garnish the wages of workers who 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 on ABC's "This Week," she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people's wages, automatic enrollment."

I have no desire to be “tapped” by Hillary Clinton in any sense of the word.

Looks like Hillary wants to adopt RomneyCare!

Hitlery is an evil, sinister, corrupt candidate; a sick joke and beyond scary as are all the others, IMO. Our country is circling the drain thanks to Liberals, RINOs, and the media and Americans are sleeping cluelessly through it. I never, never, never thought we would throw away our future and never get to this point in my lifetime. In my opinion, no one running for the Presidency will take this nation anywhere but the toilet bowl.

Ah. So it seems that Hillary's made it plain that she intends to dip into my paycheck to fund the health care for bums and illegals.

I shouldn't be surprised. It's no different than what Juan McCain has in store for us with his amnesty plan for illegals.

To keep the citizenry in...

Exactly. This observation suggests that we should work toward harmonizing the laws in Mexico and here, so that migration of people and businesses is simple and above board. It cannot just be that Mexicans migrate here, but we do not migrate there.

Really sick when that even Barak Obama’s Health Care plan is more moderate the Queen Hillary’s plan.

Until he gets into office. Then things, circumstances will 'change'. We have to remember that Obamamama is just as radically left as Hitlery, regardless of what he saying on the stump.

Guess my tagline needs updating:

Hillary Care means stealing your money so you can die in line.

Good point. Have to remember that little fact. NO ONE has ever moved to the right after they won the White House. They talk a good game right up to the second they take the oath of office.

How is she going to garnish the wages of the illegal aliens that Hitlary would be willing to let stay in this country? Oh, silly me, they’ll just take an extra 5% out of everyone who lives here legally.

This is a good thing. It means Hillary is becoming more like the Republicans! (Democrats moving to the left to be more like Republicans on some issues alert)

I would suggest she go tapping in a bathroom stall instead. She'll find it more satisfying.

I can’t post my actual sentiment in regard to Hillary and her idea. I’d be suspended.

I just think she gave the nomination to Obama.
Even Democrats won't want their wages garnered.

Trouble is, Obama wants to control how much everyone can earn in the first place--which is worse?:

Sounds awfully similar to Romneycare to me.

But then again, I’ve been told the past few weeks that there are no differences between McCain and Hillary. Of course when it comes to garnishing people’s wages to pay for health care for all, Hillary is proposing doing just that. I know McCain wouldn’t take YOUR money to pay for someone else’s health care.

So much for “pro-choice”.
