Hillary wants you to subsidize the insurance companies!
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Campaign-Rdp.html?pagewanted=printWASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to have workers' wages garnisheed if they refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.
The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed during a television interview, she said: ''I think there are a number of mechanisms'' that are possible, including ''going after people's wages, automatic enrollment.''
Clinton said such measures would apply only to workers who can afford health coverage but refuse to buy it, which puts undue pressure on hospitals and emergency rooms. Under her plan, she said, health care ''will be affordable for everyone'' because she would limit premium payments ''to a low percent of your income.''

Astronomical Healthcare profits are safe for another 4 years. The debate among the "progressive" Democrats on the issue of 40 million people priced out of healthcare is over how best to punish them.
The article on Yahoo News ends with this from Obama:
"Obama has said he would require parents to buy health insurance for children, and possibly fine them if they refused. But he would not insist that all adults buy insurance".
