Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Politics In General Clinton health plan may mean tapping pay

You mean like a state passing laws that make life begin as conception so woman won't have access to the Morning after pill?

Most companies do require employee's to pay into their health insurance, well if they want it anyway. My costs went up so much this new year that it wiped out my annual raise which I recieved last July.

Obviously something has to be done to make health care more affordable for all. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that if people are given access to care especially care which can keep them healthy the costs will be less in the long run.

It is a complex issue but one thing is that Hillary is looking for a solution, what has the Republican repsonse been? Bascially too freaking bad if you don't have or can't afford it, get another job, stop being a poor ueducated american and man up? What do I care about your problems as long as mine is taken care of?

There are too many Americans without access to health care, we are verging on being a third world country in the way. Not something I would think would give us bragging rights as being the greatest nation. From what I can read once again Hillary's words have been summed up in way that allows the most emotional impact with the least actual fact.

I typically bring up Steve Burd, CEO of Safeway as he is the one CEO whose salary, lifestyle, etc that I am very familiar with due to "leaks" from the Corporate office in Pleasanton, CA and because he only lives 20 miles from me - community "sitings" and people who have dealt with him in his private life.

Steve Burd, has a "premium" medical plan in which, one benefit of his plan is that he was able to "jump ahead of the line" should he require EMERGENCY care.

There is a running joke amongst Safeway meat cutters that says the following:

Steve Burd would be able to go into an Emergency room to have a hang-nail removed ahead of a kid who fell out of a tree and now has broken bones.

Just a heads up that I edited all posts to show the correct title of the thread per guidelines.
