DES MOINES, Iowa - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton unveiled Monday a $110 billion-a-year plan to insure every American -- and her second foray into health care reform elicited the same fusillade of criticism as "Hillarycare" did 14 years ago.

.....[snip].......

Clinton would force enrollment of young, healthy people, ages 18 to 30, who often forego insurance because they believe they will never get sick. Clinton said their participation was essential because premiums from healthy patients offset higher costs incurred by older patients.

Clinton adviser Laurie Rubiner said she would leave it to Congress to come up with sanctions for people who failed to comply, but suggested one penalty could be the loss of the standard deduction on their income tax filings......"

[P.O.E.]

So companies with 24 employees would be loath to hire the extra person.

If I were the Devil’s advocate, I would say that small businesses get tax breaks for providing health insurance. As we all know, “The Devil is in the details.” There is no free lunch. Since Hillary admits she wants to raise taxes, I wonder where how she will fund these tax breaks.

As most of us do, I have many other concerns with Hillary-Care.
