Hillarycare Revisited
This time she means to complete the job, no matter how many jobs it costs.
(Page 2 of 2)
The plan would have “created at least 200 regional alliances, staffed by more than 50,000 bureaucrats,” reported Grace-Marie Arnett, president of the Galen Institute, a national health policy organization. “The whole scheme would have been enforced with a plethora of fines, penalties and jail terms for physicians and their patients.”
On the whole, what we got from Hillary Clinton in her first shot at power in the White House was coercive, arrogant and amateurish.
And now? “We’re going to have universal health care when I’m president,” she says. “There’s no doubt about that.” And the job losses and those she drives out of business? So far, no comment.
