WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that a mandate http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/m080.htm  http://www.thefreedictionary.com/mandate
requiring every American to purchase health insurance was the only way to achieve universal health care but she rejected the notion of punitive measures to force individuals into the health care system.

"At this point, we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed," the presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We're providing incentives and tax credits which we think will be very attractive to the vast majority of Americans."

She said she could envision a day when "you have to show proof to your employer that you're insured as a part of the job interview — like when your kid goes to school and has to show proof of vaccination," but said such details would be worked out through negotiations with Congress.

Clinton unveiled her health care plan Monday in Iowa, promising to bring coverage to every American by building on the current employer-based system and using tax credits to make insurance more affordable.

She told the AP she relished a debate over health care with her political opponents, including Republicans "who understood that we had to reform health care before they started running for president."

  Apparently she thinks that she's talking to children.  What's frightening is that the ones listening appear to be standing with their mouths wide open and stars in their eyes, waiting for another federally "mandated" entitlement program.  Only this one has TEETH.  Lots more teeth than she wants us to see when she smiles.  Does she really think that we can't read the subtle implications here?  

   That might sound far-fetched, but think about it.  If you have to buy their insurance, you will have to live by their rules. That means "lifestyle Incentives".  And if you don't buy their insurance and live the way they dictate, you don't work, AND you don't have insurance, and if you want insurance...a vicious circle.
   Surely I don't have to spell it out.  And no punitive measures "at this point"?!?  Then she smiles, like the momma that's gonna make it all better for the poor ignorant masses, and presumes to set the debate terms, like she's the be-all and end-all in American politics.  Her arrogance is astounding...she's certain that she has this wrapped up and tucked away for Christmas...and I feel sick.  The only thing that's reassuring is hope that people will think about the implications of this and realize that the real fascists are on their way, and they appear to be bearing gifts.
