Comments on: Poll: Dems Back Clinton On Health Care

CBS News Poll: Primary Voters Say Hillary Clinton Can Handle Health Care Better Than Rivals

[standlee5]

Which will take priority, universal daycare, universal preschool, universal all day kindergarten, or universl health care. Or are they all the same priority. Plus increase earned income tax credit. What are we all going to be paying in taxes. I''d just a soon pay for my daycare, pay for preschool, pay for health insurance,it''d be cheaper.

[standlee5]

Is there any limitation on illegal status.

[standlee5]

Today 110 billion, tomorrow 220 billion, after election 500 billion. This will bury us. Unless there''s some tort reform of some sort. The govt. is going to be ultimately responsible for everyone''s care. And as far as electronic files. No thanks.

Comes back the following day what is your IQ 0.5

You must have voted for George W. Bush.

Hilary just doesn''t get it and neither does any other politician out there, Dem or Rep or whatever. American citizens do NOT need insurance, what they do need is HEALTH CARE!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!!

[incog-nito]

Having said that, it''s a modest improvement over the current, bankrupt system.

[incog-nito]

I am disappointed in this plan. It keeps the middlemen in place, the for-profit insurance companies that are one of the main reasons health care costs have been skyrocketing. There is no provision to contain costs. The tax credit will help initially, but there is nothing to stop insurers from raising premiums again. In fact, this will probably make it more likely that they will raise premiums. Will we then add more taxes to pay for more tax credits? You can already see the needless added bureaucracy in all of this. Also, the MANDATORY requirement is a huge windfall for insurers. That''s why they wholeheartedly support this.

If you want to reduce costs and have more coverage, cut out the middleman and deal with the health providers directly. None of this giving out with one hand and taking back (more) with the other.

A man walked into a very high-tech restaurant in a fancy hotel.

As he waited to be seated, he noticed that the Maitre D'' is a robot.

The robot clicked to attention and said, "Sir, there is a one hour
wait. I am programmed to converse with you until a table is
ready, If you please."

Intrigued, the man said, "OK."

The robot clicked a couple more times and then asked,
"Sir, what is your IQ?"

The man answered, "Oh, about 164."

The robot then proceeded to discuss the theory of relativity,
Interstellar space travel, the latest medical breakthroughs, etc.

The man was most impressed. The next day he returned,
But thought he would try a different tack.

The robot again asked, "What is your IQ, sir?" This time the man
answered, "Oh, about 100".

So the robot started discussing NASCAR racing, the latest
basketball Scores, and what to expect the Red Sox to do this weekend.

The guy had to try it one more time. So the next day he returned.

Again the robot asked the question, "What is your IQ?"

This time the man drawled out, " Uh.....''bout 50."

The robot clicked, then leaned close and very slowly asked,

"A-r-e y-o-u-r p-e-o-p-l-e g-o-i-n-g t-o n-o-m-i-n-a-t-e H-i-l-l-a-r-y?"

Senator Clinton is outlining the primary difference in the parties, the Democrats spend our tax revenues on our Country and the prosperity of our Country first, and the Republicans spend our tax revenues on themselves and their own special interest.Posted by pepperp1

You''re very confused, pepper. Democrats would prefer that you become completely dependent on government by promising you everything under the sun. Where do you think jobs come from? Never heard of poor people handing out jobs. Big business is what keeps our economy going strong and you just have to deal with it. If our economy is really that important to you than why don''t you contribute to it by getting a good education and working your *** off; handouts won''t get you anywhere.

This woman is dragging out her old idea on health care. This is never going to fly. She failed then and she will fail again.

[micma-2009]

The majority of Americans know that our health care system is broken. Hillaries'' plan may or may not be the best solution. But she is at least raising the issue and starting the conversation. Republicans would prefer to ignore the real problems and concerns of average Americans.

[oleander8]

"During the Clinton presidency dollar Bill gave one, count them one primary task for the first lady and that was health care reform. There were two terms for Hillary to get this done and she failed. "

But this time she won''t be trying to work with a Republican majority in the House. That''s a whole new ballgame.

[pepperp1]

Senator Clinton is outlining the primary difference in the parties, the Democrats spend our tax revenues on our Country and the prosperity of our Country first, and the Republicans spend our tax revenues on themselves and their own special interest.

Her plan is doable; compare this against the ultimate price tag for Iraq, Iraq which economist estimate at 2 Trillion dollars, from now until Jan 09 when we are finally rid of Bush Inc Iraq will have sucked up 208 Billion more of our dollars just as operating expense.

Need and example check out what is happening with Senator Stevens in Alaska and the corruption he has orchestrated on our dime to build himself a big house. The Republican Party disgust me.

[yankeerebel7]

I don''t think it''s too late for Republicans to win on Healthcare.

It''s true many Americans are willing to trade healthcare freedoms and innovation for health security...but we need to implement a plan that offers both.

[biker-n-oh]

Hwy71So: I agree with you totally that the democrats use health care as the PRIMARY issue for every election and then put it to the back burner when elected.

During the Clinton presidency dollar Bill gave one, count them one primary task for the first lady and that was health care reform. There were two terms for Hillary to get this done and she failed. I really don''t understand why people confident that she can do it this time. I see it only being used as a campaign tool.

This is not just a social issue but an economic one. We cannot compete with manufacturers in other countries until our health care costs are spread over the entire population and companies versus our current single company plans. Companies can gain competitive advantage by removing benefits versus the socially responsible companies that keep theirs.

If GM, Ford, the steel industry, and other manufacturers could lessen the burden of health care costs for retirees they would then again be profitable. Toyota, Honda, VW, etc. manufacture cars in the US and have no issue with profitability because they do not have this burden.

The basic difference is that Democrats are trying to create a plan to cover everyone while the Republican tax credit plans would ensure the rich a healthy tax break, but would leave the majority of people without corporate plans or the ability to purchase private ones.

It seen like this is a little late why did they wait until it so hard for some peoples to even stay in the job market

[jesse285-2009]

Do''t you think that this is a little late
