Good thing Clinton has good health care coverage.
   

Suppose he was some ordinary person, who was either self-employed or employed but no insurance offered by the employer...

and 63 years old, not yet old enough for Medicare.

I don't begrudge Clinton health care coverage, but what about the rest of us?

STFU DUmmie. I just had a bunch of tests done at the hospital. I have no health insurance. Hospital said they would work with me and find a good monthly payment i can afford since i got laid off.

So enough with the BS about people not having access to care.

Yeah, he has good coverage...paid for by the taxpayer, you DUmmass. WE pay his HC, his 200k/yr. pension, his Harlem office rent, his mortgage...and he's worth 100 million...how does that sound, DUmmie?

If we had single payer/universal healthcare, after several years went by and it finally morphed into the finished product, the "ordinary person" would have their economic impact evaluated to determine, on average, if that person would eventually pay enough in tax revenues to make up for what it's going to cost to save his life.  Sound better, primitive?

I know I have told this a million times but in case some DU'er is reading this thread....I had a stroke back in 1995 and no insurance.  The hospital didn't ask for insurance until the day I checked out (and my Mom and husband were there the whole time, they could have asked them).  The hospital ultimately wrote off all but $1000 of the bill (I was in the hospital about a week with several days in ICU).  My neurologist saw me for free until I got on my husbands insurance (about 6 months later, shock....I was able to get on my husbands insurance with a pre-existing condition) and my rheumatologist always marked it down as a limited visit even though each visit should have been marked for the highest amount of time.  The doctors who saw me in the hospital wouldn't write off any of their bills but worked out payment plans with us.  It took us several years to pay them off but we paid them.

Shame on you! :hammer:


You are assuming that the Dummies are paying taxes to help provide for Clinton's cost of living.

WE Conservatives....on the other hand....ARE paying for Clinton's cost of living.

And Hillary's....both as former First Lady AND as Sec of State.

That's ok, Darlin'.

It's so tiresome to deal with the IQ level of Dummies.
