Devil in the Details

Clinton details her health plan:
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said in an interview on Wednesday that if elected president she would push for a universal health care plan that would limit what Americans pay for health insurance to no more than 10 percent of their income, a significant reduction for some families.
In an extensive interview on health policy, Mrs. Clinton said she would like to cap health insurance premiums at 5 percent to 10 percent of income.
That’s still a whole lot of money. I’d love to know how large the proposed subsidies will be.
This is an interesting proposal and one I could probably get behind if she has offered more details. Between what I kick in and what my employer provides this would be roughly a 50% savings, primarily to my employer, at the 10% threshold.
Some follow up is required!
Sorry, Edwards proposal was it. This is still coverage for for-profit health insurers. Amoral cover for amoral business.

Not to mention that if you can’t pay the premiums your wages get garnished. No thank you Hillary.
