About the same thing I told bush supporters in 2000 and again in 2004.
But don't worry, she said. She'll first have the government check your means and lifestyle to see if you can afford to lose that money. After the government decides how your money is better spent, THEN they'll take it.
Hope that makes you feel better about her plans for you.
Remember, you still DO have choice: You can choose whether to elect her or not. If you elect her, that may be the last choice you see for a long, long time.

Clinton health plan may mean tapping pay
by CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writer
Sun Feb 3, 11:40 AM ET
WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to garnish the wages of workers who refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.
The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed on ABC's "This Week," she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people's wages, automatic enrollment."
Clinton said such measures would apply only to workers who can afford health coverage but refuse to buy it, which puts undue pressure on hospitals and emergency rooms. With her proposals for subsidies, she said, "it will be affordable for everyone."
The Constitution isn't perfect, but it's better than the system we're using now.

Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.
and if you don't enroll in Hillery care you run the risk of being a criminal, as everyone is required by law to sign up.
The Obama Deficit:1,700,000,000,000.00
The US Debt. 44% foreign subsidized
And congress does not have to pass anything ?
Just hoopla hyperbole at this point.

This is going to be the funnest election year in my lifetime. Seriously.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Man I hope they nominate her, I just can't contain my excitement.

OK, if your taxes go up by 3%, but you're not paying any money for healthcare anymore, isn't that a net positive for the US? I think so. Anyone with common sense knows so.
Well, the journey might be a hoot, but the arrival may be bad news indeed.
The Democrats are fielding an almost-identical field of candidates, that is the farthest-left in the country's history. Even George McGovern never proposed forced enrollment and outright confiscation of people's wages when running his campaign.
Fortunately, there was a relatively conservative alternative in Richard Nixon, whom voters decided was far preferable to McGovern despite the growing Watergate scandal, giving Nixon a landslide victory.
This time, there is no candidate that conservative, and their comparatively clean records may not be enough to get them elected.
Careful what you wish for, Damocles. Bungee jumping is fun, until the moment you find out the hard way that the elastic cords are too long. >:-O

Obama's plan has an opt-out option. That's one of the reasons I support Obama. I see no reason why making the plan mandatory would reduce its costs.
Gotta love that. It's OK to turn over more and more power over your life to an indifferent, overbearing bureaucracy... as long as they only charge you a little for the privilege!
There speaks the quintessential modern liberal!
Republicans have an even better opt-out option: You don't have to sign up in the first place, because they OPPOSE socialized health care!Obama's plan has an opt-out option. That's one of the reasons I support Obama. I see no reason why making the plan mandatory would reduce its costs.
This just keeps getting better. Democrats offer a disasterous plan for socializing all of health care... even as their lapdogs say one of the good parts of the plan is that you can get out of it!
You can't make this stuff up, folks.........
