The censors at mudcat don't want this news posted on its own, so I'll put it here. It continues a theme brought up earlier here anyway.

Fascism. Hillary-style:

WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that a mandate requiring every American to purchase health insurance was the only way to achieve universal health care but she rejected the notion of punitive measures to force individuals into the health care system.

"At this point, we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed," the presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We're providing incentives and tax credits which we think will be very attractive to the vast majority of Americans."

She said she could envision a day when "you have to show proof to your employer that you're insured as a part of the job interview — like when your kid goes to school and has to show proof of vaccination," but said such details would be worked out through negotiations with Congress....

If you don't know what's wrong with this, then you're comatose. Textbook example of welfare-state fascism. The Clintons have served the insurance industry forever, but this is a bit much. They're going to make it MANDATORY that you PURCHASE health insurance. Remember the good old days when auto liability insurance was optional? Now you have to have it or you can be fined. Today are the good old days when health insurance is optional. Tomorrow you'll be fined if you don't have it. The precedent is there.

This is SO over the top. A pure giveaway to PRIVATE insurance companies who are now going to have LAWS passed saying you have to PAY them for "protection." This is sheer mafia behavior. This is private corporations taking over the government--welfare-state fascism.

You are going to be a CRIMINAL if you don't pony up a thousand bucks a month to the insurance companies. And if they follow the liability insurance model, once the health insurance thing is mandatory, the price will DOUBLE. And if you're caught TWICE without health insurance, you'll go to JAIL.

And the woman who would be King tells a flat out lie when she's talking about vaccinations being mandatory. Vaccines are not mandatory in any of the United States. Parents have an opt-out clause. You DON'T HAVE TO LET STRANGERS INJECT FOREIGN SUBSTANCES INTO YOUR CHILD'S BODY. But a woman like Clinton, would would tell a murderous lie like that, do you think she gives a damn about YOUR health?

This is a consequence of not demanding the truth concerning 9/11. Because you let the killers remain in power, you will now be thrown to the "other party" to be chewed on for a while. The heir apparent in that party once talked about It Takes a Village, and she wanted to take care of you, etc., but now you see she wants to make you pay for insurance you can't afford. And punitive steps for not having insurance are on the table. And you won't be getting health insurance as a job benefit any more because you have to be self-insured TO EVEN APPLY FOR THE JOB! And THIS is what you fucking Democrats support?! You don't NEED health insurance, you are already BRAIN DEAD!
