Where can I find a copy of Hillary’s health plan?
Everyone іѕ ranting аbουt Hillary's healthcare рlаn. Thе rіght-wingers ѕау іt's socialism repackaged аnd thе liberals аrе saying іt doesn't gο far enough.
Iѕ thеrе anywhere thаt thіѕ health proposal іѕ presented іn written form whеrе іt саn bе accessed bу voters? I'd lіkе tο read specifically whаt іt іѕ ѕhе wаntѕ tο dο before I mаkе аnу judgments.
There isn't one, oh, and the one she is currently talking about will not show the benchmarks that run money from our tax funds to her friends at "Kaiser", and the one she talks about from when her husband was in the Oval Office was a rip off and channeled our tax dollars to her friends, that is why it did not pass congressional scrutiny. Not worth looking for, it is a scam.
In the toilet.
that is where she will take us

Here’s a summary:
Hillary Clinton has unveiled the third part of her plan to ensure that all Americans have affordable, quality health insurance. Building on her proposals to rein in costs and to insist on value and quality, her American Health Choices Plan will secure, simplify and ensure choice in health coverage for all Americans. This Plan covers every American – finally addressing the needs of the 47 million uninsured and the tens of millions of workers with coverage who fear they could be one pink slip away from losing their health coverage – with no overall increase in health spending or taxes. For those with
health insurance, the plan builds on the current system to give businesses and their employees greater choice of health plans – including keeping the one they have – while lowering cost and improving quality. Specifically, the American Health Choices Plan will:
1. Offer New Coverage Choices for the Insured and Uninsured: The American Health Choices Plan gives Americans the choice to preserve their existing coverage, while offering new choices to those with insurance, to the 47 million people in the United States without insurance, and the tens of millions more at risk of losing coverage.
2. The Same Choice of Health Plan Options that Members of Congress Receive: Americans can keep their existing coverage or access the same menu of quality private insurance options that their Members of Congress receive through a new Health Choices Menu, established without any new bureaucracy as part of the Federal Employee Health Benefit Program (FEHBP). In addition to the broad array of private options that Americans can choose from, they will be offered the choice of a public plan option similar to Medicare.
3. A Guarantee of Quality Coverage: The new array of choices offered in the Menu will provide benefits at least as good as the typical plan offered to Members of Congress, which includes mental health parity and usually dental coverage.
4. Lower Premiums and Increase Security: Americans who are satisfied with the coverage they have today can keep it, while benefiting from lower premiums and higher quality.
5. Reducing Costs: By removing hidden taxes, stressing prevention and a focus on efficiency and modernization, the plan will improve quality and lower costs.
6. Strengthening Security: The plan ensures that job loss or family illnesses will never lead to a loss of coverage or exorbitant costs.

At this point it hasn't been flipped or flopped around yet – so its basically meaningless.
As soon as she actually commits hard ideas to paper, maybe then you'll be able to see it. That'll never happen though. She just talks in broad strokes and Utopian euphemisms so she can't be held down to any one opinion.
It's called flip flopping and the Clinton Mafia have perfected it. If they told us what they really think, the country would be horrified.
Just read it all, sounds like a decent plan – if you look at on the surface! I don't think the FEDERAL government should get into the healthcare business at all (States can provide it, if their constituents wish it). The regulations have jacked up prices, and cut down competition for providers, pharmaceuticals from other countries, and lack of bargaining with other countries. Doctors abuse the system and dole out test after test, to make some cash, then they refer you to another to suck more money (the money isn't usually yours, it's the insurance provider). They are usually paid 5x more than in any other country. Europeans have cheaper costs, because they bargain, and have more competition. They even have more doctors, we should be encouraging more students to be doctors, if we want to see a reduction in their salaries.
Then you have the problem of all the illegal immigrants that are in the country. A doctor really can't refuse treatment just because you have no money, or can't prove you are from this country. So that is another loss. If we do nothing about these people that are under the radar, they will leave your children, and your children's children a huge debt.
The system is perverted already! If the system is messed up, why do you think some sort of universal health care is going to make it more efficient? If anything, it will add one more cost, a cost that most American's cannot afford.
