Clinton May Garnish Wages to Achieve Universal Health Care
Cybercast News Service ^ | Feb. 4, '08 | Susan Jones

Posted on 2/7/2008, 1:24:26 AM by T.L.Sink

Will Sen. Hillary Clinton garnish the wages of people who can afford health insurance but refuse to buy into her universal health care plan? The Democratic presidential hopeful tried to duck the question Sunday when ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked her about wage-garnishing three times but she didn't rule it out. Pressed a third time on the wage-garnishing question, Clinton said,"we will have an enforcement mechanism - whether it's that (wage garnishing) or it's some other mechanism through the tax system or automatic enrollments."

"Garnishing" is just a euphemism for confiscatory socialism. What makes this even more obnoxious it that socialized medicine doesn't work. One need only glance at the nations of Western Europe to see the disaster that awaits us. Apparently Hillary hasn't really abandoned the "Hillarycare" debacle of years ago but is offering a refined version of the same to lead is into full-fledged socialism, Euro-style.

To those conservatives who won’t vote this year unless the GOP nominee is ideal, you need to send this article.

Romney’s plan he signed when govonor does the same thing. You can bet he wants to take his show nationwide if he gets the chance.

So I guess she wants to make the US like Canada? We give up half our daily paycheck? I know lead balloons can float but I seriously doubt this will.

Ann Coulter hasn’t read this, obviously.

Quite possibly the ONLY way to keep this rotten bitch out of the WH is to publicize things like this, and the things DFU is doing. Somehow it has to happen but I am not optimistic. Obama will probably be Arkancided if he’s this close going into the election. Since the economy is going to be shattered by the time election time rolls around, you just know the people will be begging for the ultimate socialist solution. I confess to being pretty depressed over this outcome.

They will have to form the HEA or Health Enforcement Agency. Like the DEA, they will terrorize citizens with SWAT Teams and shock bombx and machine guns.

Maybe I can get a job as an Agent in Hillary’s Internal Garnishing Service. They’ll have to pay me a living wage if I’m to productively garnish other people’s wages...

Look no further than our northern neighbors...Canada. A report just last month of a woman pregnant with quads or quints, or some such, in Canada was sent to the US for the care she needed because they were not properly equipped in her local Canadian hospitals to deal with the situation.
A former supervisor of mine, in Toronto, told me of 8 month waits for CAT scans and MRI’s in many areas, a year wait for elective surgery, etc.

No, the whole issue of double digit inflation in health care costs didn’t show up until the Feds got involved back in the late 50’s and 60’s as part of the Great Society movement by the DemLibs of the day (especially that rat bastard Lyndon Johnson). Healthcare is another item the government can only screw up. It’s none of their business.

And, now we have the potential for a renewed manifestation of Hillary-Care, socialized medicine and a single payer system at it’s core, spawned by the modern day DhimmiRats and the left leaning GOP sycophants.

Sorry, there is NO constitutional mandate for this POS notion. It’s time we reclaim our government.

Lock and Load.

Would you be upset if I told you health care is already deducted from your paycheck. Its called Medicare.

Canada collects the greater part of the funds used in their medical insurance scheme through their tax system.

That way they can avoid the use of the courts to garnishee wages.

At the same time Canada has the most expensive tax system, dollar per revenue, in the Industrialized G8 nations.

They could probably afford the most expensive medical insurance available in the United States out of the tax system savings if they simply abolished their single payer system and the taxes that go with it (and the record keeping ~ that's even more expensive than collecting the taxes).

Canadians should be up in arms about this mess ~ but, alas, they are not allowed to do that.
