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."

She said: “I think there are a number of mechanisms” that are possible, including “going after people’s wages, automatic enrollment.”

Yep, there it is, folks...a socialist answer from a true socialist. In the mind of the Hildebeast, what’s yours is the government’s, for whatever purpose she sees as appropriate.
This woman is dangerous. She must be stopped.

Can't say you weren't warned...

People were more than adequately warned about these people in 1992 and elected them president not once, but twice.

The fact that Hillary Clinton is not only a candidate for president but has actually gotten votes should be enough for all of us to seriously consider that we may not have a republic much longer.

And McLame proposes giving a $5,000 tax credit for health insurance. So where's the money going to come for that? Hmmmm? Sounds like either more deficit or higher taxes to me.

If the Repubs nominate a conservative at their convention, I'm there. If they nominate a socialist, as it appears they are preparing to do, no thanks.

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

I agree, Obama is more frightening; however, in terms of headlines, this one is devastating for Hillary.

I'm not in agreement with anything Hitlery does, but let me tell you, I sacrificed part of pay increases for health insurance. In other words I payed for my own health insurance. So have many Americans and most were done during labor negotiations. It has been happening for years, perhaps over 30 years. YOU GET NOTHING FREE. Now, how do you want to do it.

It would be nice if a few of you that paid your way would let us know.

Puts me in mind of this quote....

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

Works for the Executive Branch, too.

Looks like Hillary wants to adopt RomneyCare!

Well, let's be honest, With Hillary's plan abortion would be free. Romney's is the more conservative requiring a $50 copay.

Yep, this will cost her the election.

Naw. The people she panders to love that kind of talk. Further, I have talked to conservatives so brainwashed that they believe they need to be taxed more. Incredible.

How’s her Heinous going to “garnish” the wages of legal and illegal immigrants who work off the books? Of course she won’t touch them

Right dennisw, they will freeload on our dime as usual. No pride at all. Just show up in someone elses land with your hand out.

"This Week," she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people's wages, automatic enrollment."

Fodder for revolt if implemented!!!

These people are Stalinists!

“clinton health plan may mean tapping pay...”

her health plan is the following, in a nutshell....

nationalization of everything.

Definition of a tax credit:

“The direct dollar-for-dollar reduction of an individual’s tax liability; compare with tax deduction, which reduces an individual’s tax liability only in proportion to his/her tax bracket.”

Basically, you take the total a person has to pay in taxes based on his or her tax bracket and reduce that number by $5,000. I think this could lead to the rise of health savings plans, which would function similar to IRA’s. All earnings growth would be tax deferred and I would be in favor of tax free distributions as well. All distributions from the plan must, of course, go to health care costs. Everybody is forced to fund their plan, but they write off the full contribution as a tax credit. It’s actually a potentially great idea, in my opinion.

It’s remarkable it took this long for the media to drag this out of her. Well okay maybe not that remarkable...

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

And remember, she has a million ideas, but we can’t afford them all. Not that we can ‘afford’ mandated health insurance, but that won’t stop Mrs. Filegate from trying.

[bigbob]

Well why not? It’s not like (in their view) it’s YOUR money, or anything...

[cowboyway]

"going after people's wages, automatic enrollment."

She's told us numerous times her socialist plans for the country and how she's planning to eliminate individual freedom and choice.

She's a change agent but not all change is good.
