Former govenor "Mitt the spit" (republican) enacted the first in the country a similar heath care policy in Mass.
If it is successful, there will be other states that will follow suit with or without Hillary.

The healthcare system in this country is as big a bloated corrupt pig as the worst government programs. Considering the massive amount of cash in the system there's got to be a better way to make it work.

Single payer may not be the best option, but aside from Mitt you're not going to see anything but the status quo from the GOP.

Bash Hillary, kill the debate, more business as usual

Spence....I don't believe in her sincerity to actually follow through to make it a reality any more than I believed Bill Clinton when he used it as his platform in both of his Presidential bids!

I think its a wheelbarrow full of manure!

You are fortunate to have been given a window into the future of nationalized healtcare by simply observing the healtcare our returning Vets are getting.

Think healtcare is bad now imagine a system without incentive.

with ....

the price of food....on the rise as a direct result of
increased fuel prices... increasing mail costs,
and increased health costs too...
you would think....that a return to the victory
garden would be a great idea....right now

Even a 4' x 8' (the size of a sheet of plywood)
garden growing vertical on the back side can
feed a family of two most vegetables...especially
using the "square foot method"... where you harvest
say a head of lettuce and replant that square foot at the
exact same time... with something else...

for a family of four you double that size.

Just a quick refresher course lest we forget what has happened to many "friends" of the Clintons.

1-James McDougal - Clinton's convicted Whitewater partner died of an apparent heart attack, while in solitary confinement. He was a key witness in Ken Starr's investigation.

3- Vince Foster - Former White House counselor and colleague of Hillary Clinton at Little Rock's Rose Law firm. Died of a gunshot wound to the head, ruled a suicide.

4- Ron Brown - Secretary of Commerce and former DNC Chairman. Reported to have died by impact in a plane crash. A pathologist close to the investigation reported that there was a hole in the top of Brown's skull resembling a gunshot wound. At the time of his death Brown was being investigated, and spoke publicly of his willingness to cut a deal with prosecutors. The rest of the people on the plane also died. A few days later the air Traffic controller committed suicide.

5- C. Victor Raiser II- Raiser, a major player in the Clinton fund raising organization died in a private plane crash in July 1992

6-Paul Tulley - Democratic National Committee Political Director found dead in a hotel room in Little Rock , September 1992. Described by Clinton as a "Dear friend and trusted advisor".

7-Ed Willey - Clinton fund raiser, found dead November 1993 deep in the woods in VA of a gunshot wound to the head. Ruled a suicide. Ed Willey died on the same day his wife Kathleen Willey claimed Bill Clinton groped her in the oval office in the White House. Ed Willey was involved in several Clinton fund raising events.

8-Jerry Parks -Head of Clinton's gubernatorial security team in Little Rock. Gunned down in his car at a deserted intersection outside Little Rock. Park's son said his father was building a dossier on Clinton. He allegedly threatened to reveal this information. After he died the files were mysteriously removed from his house.

11-Kathy Ferguson- Ex-wife of Arkansas Trooper Danny Ferguson, was found dead in May 1994, in her living room with a gunshot to her head. It was ruled a suicide even though there were several packed suitcases, as if she were going somewhere. Danny Ferguson was a co-defendant along with Bill Clinton in the Paula Jones lawsuit. Kathy Ferguson was a possible corroborating witness for Paula Jones.



12-Bill Shelton - Arkansas State Trooper and fiance of Kathy Ferguson. Critical of the suicide ruling of his fiance, he was found dead in June, 1994 of a gunshot wound also ruled a suicide at the grave site of his fiance.
