HillaryCare

Hillarycare (Socialized Medicine), it's baaaack.

PIHOM Hillary Clinton is again raising her ideals about putting our medical care under government control, so that 'everyone ' can have healthcare.

She claims; "There are now over 45 million uninsured Americans. There are over 13 million uninsured children . . . Premiums are rising at over twice the rate of inflation and the number of employers offering coverage is dropping." Okay, if this is true, then putting healthcare under the government would only degrade the qulity and availability of the service. What would be a better fix, rather than handing out 'free' healthcare, would be to improve the environment for businesses so more folks could be empolyed, and businesses would be more willing to provide a healthcare benefit.

Yet another in another comment she states; "This is a national crisis and a flat-out moral failing." Really? Well, the New Orleans disaster graphically displays the government's ability to respond to a crisis, and why is she imposing her morality on the rest of the nation?

She continues with "We need to make sure all Americans and their representatives know the truth about how our present health care policies are impacting you and your family." Good idea. And how about sharing the truth about how Hillarycare would impact you and your family? Just look at the Fraser Institute's report to the Canadian government on the state of their 'free' healthcare.

in 2004, Hillary Clinton said: "Many of you are well enough off that ... the [Bush] tax cuts may have helped you ... We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." And that pretty much sums up her healthcare plan, too.

"What matters in the liberal-socialist world-view is the structure of the state. Social justice comes, not from individual morality, but from centralized government control that forces equal distribution of income and property." This is where Mrs. Clinton wants to take us, where she, as 'the government,' can tells us, 'the people,' what is right, and what is wrong. This form of tyranny is exactly what our founding fathers wanted to escape.

Freedom doesn't come from the government controlling the people, it comes from the people controlling the government.
