Hillary has "Balls" on Health Care-2007 Version


See Maggie Mahar's good piece on TPM Cafe home page today

Hillary triangulated Obama and Edwards!

Considering how wounded she was in 93-94 her announcement today was a good comeback!

The good Senator from New York has got "balls" in the best sense of the word.

I am most interested in cost control through both individual AND institutional prevention as you all know by now:). This will free up $ for those who need treatment for non-preventable diseases.

Dr Lippin,

With all due respect, I really don't like your reference (even tho you meant well) to the word BALLS. We all know that implies she's acting like a MAN would.

What Hillary has done is what any WOMAN would want to do - try to give health care to her brothers and sisters in America.

Now, as for the plan itself, I'm afraid it's another winfall for businesses and Insurance companies.

I know they are claiming that it forces businesses to either OFFER insurance to their employees or they must pay into the new system helping everyone purchase insurance. Somehow, I think the businesses will opt out of offering group insurance - in the long run they will benefit by paying a once a year or month exact fee, rather then having to hire an ITS dept to program the insurance and State policies and keep those policies up to date yearly.

Insurance companies will benefit as they did with the Medicare drug program, by getting MORE customers to PAY in.

I still think the thing that needs to be done is REGULATION of Insurance/Hospital/CLinics/Doctors - when they want a raise - they must ask for it, just as our water, electric companies and post office do. They need to prove the NEED for an increase.

After all, hospitals are SUPPOSE to be NON-PROFIT - most of them anyway.

My apologies for offending

I put "balls" in quotes because I equate it with courage and which I believe Hillary has demonstrated
