When Hilary Clinton speaks of mandated health coverage...does she mean "have to buy" as in car insurance? (which is mandatory in Iowa)
If so, then I think I am in trouble if she gets into office. As it is now, I already drive without car insurance, very careful to avoid police. Many Iowans that I know drive without liscences because they lost them due to being unable to afford the high costs of car insurance.
Why would Hilary think that this might solve the health issue problems that America is having??? Nothing will change for me, cept I might end up sick with no way of paying for recovery, and end up with some sort of new fine to pay for not being able to pay for health insurance.
I admit, I am not paying close enough attention to the caucuses and what issues are being discussed.
But, I do have one very clear opinion on these matters of politics and presidents, and that is:
Rich people should not try to run a country of poor people. they just have NO CONCEPT of what life is REALLY like, as they all live safely above it, protected by wealth, and never having to understand what it is like trying to live without.
Hilary may be a woman, and I like that... but, she has NO CLUE what real Americans live through.

maybe not but when her husband was in office the middle and lower class income family saw better health benifits like for instance the family leave act enabling us to take off without fear of losing our jobs. What she is trying to do and what her husband tried to do is not an easy thing but at least they are fighting the bussiness man for our benifit.

Well, I don't follow the issues either...but I think Hilary Clinton is very pro-health insurance. From what little I've heard, my guess would be that when she says "mandated health coverage" it doesn't mean that you have to have health coverage, I think that it means business will be required to provide health insurance for their employees. I'm not 100% sure, but that would be my guess.
