(2007-09-17) — After a disastrous foray into health policy-making during her years as First Lady, Sen. Hillary Clinton has learned from her mistakes, and today will unveil a universal health care plan that avoids the complexity of her earlier effort.
At the heart of the Democrat presidential candidate’s new “American Health Choices Plan” are three simple federal mandates. The government would require all American families…
1) to carry personal health insurance,
2) to abort all children after the first 1.5 live births per household,
3) and to euthanize senior citizens when their quality of life dips below the national average.
“Children and the elderly are the biggest drain on our health care system,” said Sen. Clinton. “It’s simple economics that the ultimate solution would eliminate the major expenses. The secret to universal coverage is to reduce the number of potential patients in the universe.”
Presidential rival Sen. Barack Obama, D-Il, said Mrs. Clinton’s plan “offers nothing new…just a restatement of the platform of our Democratic National Committee.”

She’s been spending too much studying China’s policies…probably since those halcyon days when she and her “husband” were selling them secrets.

the ultimate solution
Now where have I heard that phrase before?

The man is a writing machine! Must be the crisp late summer air! Funny stuff but we can’t keep up!

Is half a live birth “mostly alive” or “mostly dead”? As Miracle Max would say… “There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.” I assume the same would apply for “mostly dead” and “mostly alive”?

Well, there goes my life. Fred, you and I better round up Possumtrot and head for Argentina or someplace far from here. They say Finland is great this time of year. Brrr.

You are correct, camojack. Hillary Plan II sounds suspiciously like the Red Chinese plan for population control. Could it be that Hsu influence at work?
In the Hillary-Hsu Plan II for Health Management from the Top Down, little boychicks, rather than their female counterparts, would be a thing of the past since every good little Leftist knows that a nonexistent army assures “peace in our time”. Motto: “We don’t want no steenkin’ testosterone cultivating aggressiveness and disturbing the peace in the village.” Besides, men look silly with flowers in their hair.
I wonder if Her Queenliness has considered that this plan for population “management” will cut into the numbers of her constituency. Nah! The army of the silent will be able to vote from the grave — as Dems have from time immemorial.

Hawkeye….re#7
To partially answere your question with an example:
Larry King is almost alive or mostly dead.

Eleventeenth?
A sliding scale for premiums makes too much sense.
Smoker? add 25%
Fat? add 35%
Sedentary? add 15%
Drinker? add 30%
and so on…
12 JamesonLewis3rd // Sep 17, 2007 at 8:53 am
I wonder why the insurance companies haven’t already thought of that “sliding scale” scheme.

Maggie, Larry King is mostly irrelevant. I think he’s the latest thing in animatronic technology … either that or his trophy wife is what keeps him going.
16 boberinyetagain // Sep 17, 2007 at 10:22 am
Jameson, they can’t use the sliding scale because people smoke, drink, eat too much etc…because they were abused, neglected, unloved etc…and it’s not fair to pick on folks for simple human frailties.
It just wouldn’t be fair…

Hawkeye Re #7: .5 of a live birth is obviously a partial birth abortion. After that babies can be killed at any preborn stage, but each good American family owes the country at least one good bucket of stem cells and body parts.

The Clinton machine is now denying “Her Thighness” was the architect of the fiasco lovingly remembered as “Hillary-care” that it was all Willy’s idea…that foray into socialized medicine!! Ah the timing…..! All this from Rush today

“Children and the elderly are the biggest drain on our health care system,” said Sen. Clinton.
Thank you for not mentioning the disabled, which are not only a drain the health care system, but also Social Security and other government welfare programs.
(By the way, for those who don’t know me: I’m not knocking the disabled — I am disabled…)

I hereby amend my last post as follows: “…which are not only a drain on the health care system…”

Becareful going to South America, Jihadist are pretending to be christian until they have a majority and then they’re taking over. Like the Democritters in Congress. Pretend you’re christian while on the stump… well the rest is history.

I may owe Mr. Greenspan an apology. In an interview with the Washington Post, he said what he meant by his comment which used the words “Iraq” and “oil” in the same sentence (i.e. the lamestream media took it out of context according to Rush today) was that by eliminating Saddam’s regime it would bring greater stability to the region since he posed the biggest threat to the free flow of oil. As every thinking person knows virtually every economy worth mention in the world relies heavily upon unimpeded flow of oil - like it or not. Our standard of living is very dependent on an “oil economy” at present.
Apparently when Mr. Greenspan broached this subject with President Bush, George W. rejected that as a valid reason for going into Iraq though he thought it certainly would be a positive outcome in eliminating one more Arab thug who had the ability to hold the world hostage by invading his oil-rich neighbors or threatening to blow up Saudi and Kuwaiti oilfields while withholding his own oil from the markets.

Judge tosses global warming lawsuit
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge has tossed out a lawsuit filed by the California attorney general against automakers for contributing to global warming.
28 Ms RightWing, Ink // Sep 17, 2007 at 6:59 pm
Ooops, lost the rest of the story from the Sacramento Bee
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge on Monday tossed out a lawsuit filed by California that sought to hold the world’s six largest automakers accountable for their contribution to global warming.
In its lawsuit filed last year, California blamed the auto industry for millions of dollars it expects to spend on repairing damage from global-warming induced floods and other natural disasters.
But District Judge Martin Jenkins in San Francisco handed California Attorney General Jerry Brown’s environmental crusade a stinging rebuke when he ruled it was impossible to determine to what extent automakers are responsible for global-warming damages in California.
The judge also ruled that keeping the lawsuit alive would threaten the country’s foreign policy position.
Jenkins said it’s up to lawmakers, rather than judges, to determine how responsible automakers are for global warming problems.
The state sued Chrysler Motor Corp., Ford Motor Co., General Motors Corp. and the U.S. subsidiaries of Japan’s biggest manufacturers, Honda North America, Nissan North America and Toyota Motor North America.
Separately, the automakers are challenging a California law in federal court that requires them to reduce vehicle carbon emissions by 2009.
A federal judge in Vermont recently rejected the industry’s position that only the federal government can make such demands in upholding that state’s nearly identical law.

The very best thing about Hillary’s Health Care Plan is the way she plans to pay for it . She is going to do away with all those nasty old tax cuts ,we’ve been enjoying. I am just so sick of enjoying all that extra money. Now we won’t have to worry about how we’ll spend it ,The Gubment will take care of it .
30 prettyold // Sep 17, 2007 at 8:31 pm
If Hillary didn’t engineer the Health Care plan of ‘93, what was she doing? This is the smartest woman in the world. ,she must have been doing something.
Maybe shredding papers?

2) to abort all children after the first 1.5 live births per household,
Margaret Sanger would be proud.
3) and to euthanize senior citizens when their quality of life dips below the national average.
The national average would keep going up as you euthanize those below it. Eventually, all that would be left would be rich Republicans. Works for me.
