The Hillary at Home

From the Beloit Daily News:

MADISON - After years of what they call "delays," Wisconsin Democrats have called upon the legislature to come up with a comprehensive health care bill and set a deadline to approve the plan.

Democrats announced their plan Wednesday afternoon, giving few details of what they want in the bill to be passed in three years.

The bill specifies the statewide health care reform must reduce overall costs by at least 15 percent and ensure 98 percent of state residents have health coverage within two years of enactment. The bill also specifies the action be passed by legislators by 2008.


Hey - you don't know what you want, but you want it for almost everybody, and you want it now. Great. And you have the majority in Congress to accomplish it, right?

What's that you say? You don't? I didn't hear you. You don't what? Oh, you don't have the majority in Congress. I see.

Well, maybe you'd better figure out what it is you want, demonstrate how the people agree and that it's in their best interest, and how having them foot the bill through taxes isn't going to erase the 15% you're saving them.

Good luck with that. Must be your plan to get that longed-for majority in the next election.
