Hillary's Health Care Plan

At the Jefferson Jackson dinner at Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Hillary Clinton said health care “is a fundamental human right and a moral obligation”. Under Hillary’s premise, should auto and life insurance be considered a fundamental human right and a moral obligation? Also, since when did any Clinton determine what is morally right for the American people? Their history has shown to be one of political expediency, duplicity and of moral turpitude. The main beneficiaries of Hillary’s health care plan are the drug and pharmaceutical companies as well as the insurance companies thus creating another layer of government bureaucracy that would have to monitor and have oversight of such a gigantic program. Obama’s plan on the other hand would search for affordable health insurance for adults and mandatory health insurance for children. Obama’s plan would eliminate the need to have a bureaucratic apparatus in place to serve as an enforcement tool for those adults who did not pay for the mandatory health insurance.
Mr. Obama was successful in working with Republicans and Democrats in getting health care legislation passed while in the Illinois legislature. Mrs. Clinton’s prior experience in dealing with universal health care was one of failure, polarization and overt partisanship. Is this the “experience” the American public wants in the oval office? I certainly don’t and any intelligent voter wouldn’t either.

Ironically Hillary's health care plan is the only one of the major candidates' proposals that threatens low cost short term medical insurance that is so valued by middle aged women for protecting family.
