"I think there are a number of mechanisms. I think you can automatically enroll people. You can then say, 'You've got to be part of this.'"
She also included, in her list of 'mechanisms', "going after people's wages, automatic enrollment."
According to Yahoo! News and the Associated Press,
Clinton said such measures would apply only to workers who can afford health coverage but refuse to buy it, which puts undue pressure on hospitals and emergency rooms. With her proposals for subsidies, she said, "it will be affordable for everyone."In other words, Hillary knows better how to spend your money than you do.
Barely scraping by to make your car payments or your mortgage payments? Can't figure out how you're going to cover your childcare expenses this month? Got some other unforeseen emergency that you've got to spend money on ... ? Tough. Hillary spent your money on some health insurance you didn't need.
And, aren't we all required to pay Medicare and Medicaid taxes anyway? Wasn't that the government's answer to 'affordable' healthcare coverage for the folks who aren't otherwise covered by health insurance for whatever reason?
Compare that with:
“I’m sure everyone feels sorry for the individual who has fallen by the wayside or who can’t keep up in our competitive society, but my own compassion goes beyond that to the millions of unsung men and women who get up every morning, send the kids to school, go to work, try and keep up the payments on their house, pay exorbitant taxes to make possible compassion for the less fortunate, and as a result have to sacrifice many of their own desires and dreams and hopes. Government owes them something better than always finding a new way to make them share the fruit of their toils with others.”—Ronald Reagan
