And typical of her to use the term “45 million.” That sounds so much more serious than “15% of the population.” So, we want to screw the pooch on one of the best medical systems in the world, and grant huge power to government, and spend hundreds of billions for 15% of the population. Yeah, makes lots of sense.

So we’re up to 45 million uninsured now, eh? Shoot, Hillary has no more idea of how many uninsured there are than does my cat! But this is Hillary in her prime, folks! Not a word about how we’re going to continue to sustain (and build on) our excellent economy. With her it’s always TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE…. Hillary has little or no understanding of economics and no plans to defend the nation from those who would destroy us. If she gets in, it’ll be a sorry day indeed for the United States.

I suspect, Leslie, that the poor die at a higher rate regardless of insurance. For one thing, they are not likely to pay as much attention to their health, and get treatment in time, and tend to live in more violent neighborhoods. Most of this is a result of the mentality and actions that made and keep them poor in the first place. I’d be willing to bet poor, uninsured people that die in the hospital have a lot higher percentage of deaths from violence, beatings, gunshots, stabbings, etc. than the general population.

Again, if true, and nothing Hillary says is subject to much credulity, it’s using slanted statistics.

This is interesting. The Senator from New York manages to convince the right that she’s a liberal, just as her husband did. But while her husband also managed to convince the liberals that he was a liberal, she seems unable to do so.

And by the way: if there are stats out there showing that uninsured patients are more likely to die in hospitals than the insured, I’d like to see them. My suspicion is (and this is, of course, deplorable but hardly the fault of the hospital) that the poor, as is usual, get the short end of the stick.

Something has to be taken away from people. I agree. Let’s start with morons like her, who’s lies and soulless existence are predicated on the time tested examples of leeches and ticks. Camera’s and microphones are the TB of TV, for these equivocating socielitists. Take them away!

that means something has to be taken away from some people.

Well said, comrade.
