Hillary Clinton apparently thinks that requiring people to buy health insurance in order to get a job is a reasonable answer to the issue of Universal Healthcare.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is gonna get me to write a whole blog. Uh... how do we not see that socialized insurance is NOT universal health care?!?! How do we not see that subsidizing the cost of insurance or offering tax breaks for it only magnifies the current problems we have with big pharma and the insurance companies driving the cost of health care through the roof???

This woman is evil.

Seconded!The insurance companies are the real problem and the reason health care here is such a mess.

While I make no claims it will happen, it occurred to a group of us that an actual possible path to reform is through the drug companies. They have the money and lobbyists, and want to make it so that people get their products, especially their esoteric ones that just came out of expensive R&D (in order to recoup costs). That basically requires that people have some sort of real way to get them. Their best business interest is in getting people to be able to get their products.

Pure flight of fancy, but it jibes with the machinations and twists of human history history.
