On speaking against universal health care

[Mike__M]

It's time someone tossed this into the discussion:

This is wrong and every Democratic should be outraged because this is the kind of attack that not only undermines core Democratic values, but gives aid and comfort to the very special interests and their allies in the Republican Party who are against doing what we want to do for America.

Anyone care to second this sentiment, or refute it?

1. Shame on you Hillary Clinton...

Since when is it acceptable for Democrats to attack Democrats on Universal Healthcare?

[Mike__M]

4. Since the second week of January, apparently

But in 2008, a leading candidate was definitely against such attacks, as the quote shows.

[NorthCarolina]

7. That's just it with establishment Democrats,

convictions are only skin deep, like 'Opinion du Jour'. That's exactly why they are completely dumbfounded over how to deal with someone like Sanders who has had the same political convictions over a long period of time.

5. These words should HAUNT Hillary Clinton. Her words. Own them Hillary. nt

16. But you see Clinton was talking about democrats criticizing democrats

Every camper knows Bernie's not a democrat, so this is perfectly OK.

It's all about what the meaning of is is.

2. I second it. Times infinity.

3. Insurance versus care

Between mandatory health insurance an universal healthcare, I'll take healthcare.

[NorthCarolina]

8. Because a for profit middleman between you and your doctor is SO much better

than a $1.75 taken out of every paycheck to provide universal care for ALL citizens. At least that's what Hillary supporters are telling us.

[ReasonableToo]

9. It's unfortunate that

They think we don't know the difference. Even more unfortunate that in many cases they assume correctly - many Americans don't know the difference and will continue to vote against their best intrests.

11. I think that $1.75 per paycheck tax...

...was for everyone to be able to have family leave when needed.

Health care will cost a lot more than that. Most people will still save money, and the money they do pay would be via taxes rather than insurance premiums to private companies. But still -- it really will be a lot more than $1.75 per paycheck.

[NorthCarolina]

12. Yes, you're right

the $1.75 was FMLA; my mistake. The net result is a huge reduction in the cost of medical care though.

[ljm2002]

13. Agreed, the net result would still be a huge reduction...

...in the cost of medical care.

[Mike__M]

14. Certainly better than paying the IRS for NOT having any coverage

But that's just my opinion.

[-none]

6. Insurance IS what stands between us and universal health care.

Health insurance companies are the problem with our health care and when it is denied.

10. she is daring old school democrats not to vote for her

Tossing off the facade of liberalism and flipping off FDR, LBJ, and the rest of the twentieth century democrats who did the right thing.

[Ferd Berfel]

15. Hillary dosen't care about core dem values

she can't, she has too many wall street transnational corporate puppet masters.
