HillaryCareScam Revealed


Well, Judicial Watch got their first document dump from the Clinton library regarding the scam affectionately called Hillarycare and it paints a disturbing picture of how far and wide the Clintons and their cronies were willing to go to foist this upon the public.

Once again it was talk radio back then who spearheaded the charge just like they did recently on the Comprehensive Immigration Amnesty bill. Is there any doubt left that if either Clinton or McCain win this race one of the first pieces of legislation they would try to ramrod through would be the Fairness Doctrine to shut down that voice?

Here is one section of one of the documents that got my attention.
For this option to work best, we would recommend the following:

1. The summit would be a two day event structured similarly to
the economic summit except with Mrs. Clinton running it. The
President should come by to open or close the event, but should
not be there most of the time.

2. It should be held outside of Washington, D.C.

3. This should be an event where the average people dealing with the health crisis get their chance to speak up. Althoughindividual health care providers should be invited to speak, no one who is head of or lobbyist for a trade association or other
interest group should be asked to speak.

4. There should be at least two or three people with specific
horror stories, but there should also be several middle class
people with decent benefits who are feeling squeezed and worried.

5. Small business people should be prominently featured. There
should also be at least one Fortune 500

6. Senior citizens should be there, and should be encouraged to
talk openly about their insecurities about potential changes in
medicare and their choice of doctors.

If these fears are expressed, and we deal with them head on, we will gain
immeasurably.
Does this bring back memories of what occurred during the debate over the increase in the SCHIP program?

There are other bloggers with other sections and their analysis and I am sure more will be forthcoming.

This is just scratching the surface, but it paints a very disturbing picture particularly as other folks are pointing out, the Rockefeller memo which indicates how wiling the press was to play along with getting the administration's message out in whatever flavor they chose.
