Hillary continues "health"y dose of socialism
Hillary Clinton has been busy rolling out HillaryCare 2.0 on the stump lately. Details abound, but one of the most interesting is that she envisions a day when citizens will have to prove health insurance coverage to get a job.
I won't go into all of the reasons why Hillary's plan is a bad idea now, just like it was in 1993. The real issue here is that her campaign message continues to push a brand of softly-packaged socialism, tying into her idea of an "all in it together society."
I can't wait for the real debates to begin so these sharp ideological lines can be drawn. Hillary obviously believes that the climate is right for a more socialistic approach to government. Perhaps she's been watching too many Michael Moore movies. If she were as smart as everyone seems to think, she would know that the American public is not going to swallow this brand of socialism, no matter how she packages it.

The American public may not swallow her socialism, but George W. Bush apparently already has. He now wants universal health care before his term is up... http://tinyurl.com/2rs8p4
I want universal health care, too. That is, I think it would be best for everyone to have health care. However, it is the responsibility of the individual to secure his or her own health care. The government has some role in the health care game, but it should be as minimal as possible. I hope Bush's plan isn't as overreaching as his senior prescription drug entitlement disaster. He, of course, says his plan will be market-based. We'll see.
