Wanted to get this quote exact!

So basically what they are saying....Clinton & Obama....is whether you want it or NOT, you will be paying for the Universal Health Care---and by the sounds of it, even if you have private insurance or insurance thru your work you will STILL be forced to pay for it.

 

ABC News: Hillary Clinton Interview: Complete Transcript

STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me interrupt you there, because the other night at the debate, you said that you and Senator Edwards bit the bullet on this question...

CLINTON: That's right.

STEPHANOPOULOS: ... of mandates, and Senator Edwards was quite clear in his plan. He said if people still didn't buy the insurance, their wages would be garnished.

And I still haven't heard, if people can afford it and they don't buy the insurance, will their wages be garnished under your plan? Will they have to pay fines?

CLINTON: Well, they don't have to pay fines, George. We want them to have insurance. We want it to be affordable.

And what I have said is that there are a number of ways of doingthat. Now, there's not just one way of getting to that.

I think you can automatically enroll people, and you will then say you've got to be part of this. It's what Senator Obama does for children. Clearly, he has a mandate, and he has a means of enforcing it or at least it appears he does. <snip>....And what I have learned over the last many years is that I'm sure the Congress has some ideas about this. But if you don't start with universal health care, if you don't say everybody's going to be in the system, we'll never get there.

 

Look--they aren't even in power yet and they already have their hands in your wallet!!!

I like that he didn't let her off the hook so fast----he pulled out one of Obama's flyers and hit her between the eyes with it----

 

STEPHANOPOULOS: But, yet, Senator Clinton, we actually have that mailing and let me show our viewers quickly what you were talking about, because you referred to it.

It says that Hillary's plan will -- excuse me, let me read this again -- "forces everyone to buy insurance, even if you can't afford it. You pay a penalty if you don't."

And I want to bear down on this question one more time, because they're claiming this issue of the penalty. And a lot of independent health care experts, many who worked with you in 1994, say that without these enforcement mechanisms, you simply can't get to universal coverage, you can't claim to have universal coverage, so there's no difference between your plan and Senator Obama's.

And, I mean, you talked about automatic enrollment. Will you garnish wages of people who don't comply, don't buy the insurance?

CLINTON: George, we will have an enforcement mechanism. Whether it's that or it's some other mechanism through the tax

system or automatic enrollments.....

(translation: YES)

....And the reason why I think there are a number of mechanisms, going after people's wages, automatic enrollment, when you are at the place of employment, you will be automatically enrolled, whatever the mechanism is is not as important as, number one, the fundamental commitment to universal health care, the appreciation that, with health care tax credits and with a premium cap, it will be affordable for everyone

(translation: you have NO CHOICE
 isn't that the same constitutional right they use for Roe vs. Wade??)

I still haven't made up my mind who I want to put in office....but I'm liking less and less from the democratic side.

But then I don't like any of the Republican stuff either.

 

we're so screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!
