WASHINGTON Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday that immigrants living in the U.S. illegally would not be covered by her proposed universal health care plan.
The New York senator said she supports basic health services for illegal immigrants, including hospitalization and treatment of acute conditions. But she said the magnitude of the nation's health care challenge means her universal coverage proposal would not cover the 12 million people living in the country illegally.
"People who are here legally deserve some better treatment and acceptance in the law than people who are not here legally," she said. "These are hard choices."
As for ways to reduce pressure on the overburdened health care system, she said she could envision using "carrots and maybe a few sticks" to motivate people to lose weight and make other behavioral changes that could help.
Speaking at a forum sponsored by several health care organizations, Clinton addressed a range of questions on the future of Social Security and Medicare, racial and gender disparities in health care coverage and ways to encourage medical students to become primary care doctors rather than specialists.
Most of all, there were questions about her proposed $110 billion health care plan and how it would bring order to a fractured system.

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday that immigrants living in the U.S. illegally would not be covered by her proposed universal health care plan. Isn't this the woman that said her husband never had relations with Monica Blewhimski? With Hillary truth is a one-way street that flows toward her.

Very scary. *knock-knock* “I’m you’re new “health coach” here to whip you into shape!”

It will when they pass the mass amnesty plan that her and every other democrat running for president voted for.

The other day she was walking up some stairs to some propaganda meeting and she could barely walk up the stairs. The drive-bi’s accidently showed below the waist footage and it looked like a cow trying to go up those stairs. She was actually walking sideways. Anybody else see that?

After the next election, I think I’ll have to go on a news starvation diet, maybe forever. I just don’t know how I’m going to be able to take variations on “Isn’t she AWESOME?!” from the MSM every day.

If she can’t stop illegal aliens from murdering cops how is she going to stop them from getting Hillary-care?

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday that immigrants living in the U.S. illegally would not be covered by her proposed universal health care plan. And if it's a sanctuary city they will be forbidden to ask or determine if they are illegals, so the net effect will be free medical for all illegals.

Of course it won’t be for illegal aliens; then again, when all the illegals are made legal, there won’t be any illegals to exclude from the program.
