Hillary Care V2.0

Posted on September 18th, 2007 in Healthcare by Wayne

Here’s the official story from her website.

From an interview, via the Washington Post:

The New York Democrat unveiled her health care plan Monday in Iowa, promising to bring coverage to all by building on the current employer-based system and using tax credits to make insurance more affordable. The centerpiece of her plan is a so-called “individual mandate,” requiring everyone to have health insurance the way most states require drivers to purchase auto insurance.

On her health care plan, Clinton said she planned to enforce the mandate to purchase health care through tax credits and other incentives.

“At this point, we don’t have anything punitive that we have proposed,” she said. But 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.”

Ridiculous.
