Hillary Clinton for Health Care Czar!

[Turn CO Blue]

She'd be wasted and bored as VP or SCOTUS.

Americans need affordable, quality healthcare.

That is all.

[CakeGrrl]

1. Totally Agree. She really put some emphasis on it. n/t

[babylonsister]

2. Not unless she could prove she can compromise. That she

wasn't willing to do the last time around.

[joshcryer]

5. You don't compromise on important issues like that.

[babylonsister]

7. Baloney! Nothing ever got done because she was unwilling to

compromise. Something would have been better than nothing if she had had Americans' best interests at heart. It didn't turn out that way.

8. What is it about universal that you don't get

10. Read the article in post#7 and get back to me. Or don't. nt

[JoFerret]

14. Compromise your rights away?

Don't give up on the audacity of high hopes.
This is the time to lay down the markers.
No half way to start the game or there will be no progress at all.

[babylonsister]

18. You're just babbling for the sake of.

You don't want a conversation, so you won't get one from me. Bye.

[JoFerret]

22. A conversation?

That would imply considering alternatives and compromise.

[EmilyAnne]

3. I agree. In that capacity, we will see Hillary at her best and at her strongest.

In the way that Al Gore really began to shine when he was able to focus on the environment. Its obvious that Hillary is incredibly sincere about health care.

[Moochy]

4. Would that be Czarina?

Maybe she can be flown to work by an aviatrix? :evilgrin:

[Turn CO Blue]

6. Didn't think about that. Most actresses now use the term "actor"

But Czarina fits Senator Clinton to a T

[Moochy]

9. Yes, its just a funny aspect of language

Gender-specific terms for professions are fading from usage, and I would expect that female Czars are still Czars in our modern American political lexicon.

[JoFerret]

21. Erm...

No

[JeanGrey]

11. Absolutely agree, this is where she NEEDS to be and where

her future lies.

[Gore1FL]

12. I agree, but lets use a better title

Make a New cabinet Position of Secretary of Health Care.

I'm not all that keen on naming positions after leaders of failed totalitarian regimes.

[Turn CO Blue]

17. Completely agree with your point. We don't want to use Bush

terms. And all of his czars seem to be hired to work for the opposite of what the position was for...mine safety czar, intelligence czar, etc.

[Spazito]

13. I agree, that would be the appropriate role for her!

In Obama's speech on Tuesday, he clearly said she would play a KEY role in his healthcare strategy so he, too, sees how well she would in promoting his healthcare plan.

[OzarkDem]

15. That's why I want her as Sen Majority Leader

We need her there to help lead the process in writing a bill and getting it through Congress. It's going to take a LOT of arm twisting to get it through.

[crankychatter]

16. Up to her armpits in Megapharm and Big Insurance tit for tat obligations?

hillarycare

no fucking thank you

[Turn CO Blue]

19. If the Edwardses thought she had the best healthcare platform

out of all the Dem candidates, then I'm willing to trust their expertise on this particular subject. This topic is why Elizabeth withheld her endorsement from everyone but her own husband, but she gave a glowing review of Hillary's plan.

[DailyGrind51]

20. As a 20+ year cancer survivor

who was rejected by three major health carriers for individual health coverage because of a "pre-existing condition", I heartily applaud that move.

[The River]

23. Just Like Her Success with Healthcare

in 1992?
No thanks.
Let NY keep her as a Senator.
