Not that I was thinking about voting for her anyway, but this article cemented my position on Hillary and any other candidate that feels the government needs to get involved in the great health insurance debacle.
Is health insurance a mess? Yup.
Is health care as a whole a mess? Yup.
Do we need nanny government in our lives any more than it already is? Hell no. And we certainly don't need government taking more money out of our paychecks to "achieve coverage for all Americans". When did it become acceptable for the government (or someone running for office) to even think about slapping an American citizen around and tell him what he's going to spend his money on?

Hell, why NOT add tyrrany to the list of things the government forces upon us? They've already been trying to convince us for YEAAAARS that we are actually STILL a democracy.
As for the healthcare system, do I think that, IDEALLY, coverage for everyone would be FANTASTIC? Yes. However, what is the difference in people having to pay for policies themselves and forcing us to give the government MORE MONEY to provide the same coverages??
Exactly.
It's bad enough that there are so many things that the working class provides for those that just plain don't do for themselves.
Hillary Clinton's POV is just WHACKED, on SO many levels on SO many things.
It's like Krissy's "Lie clock" joke - I'm sure you got THAT one.
