HILLARY ON HEALTH CARE. On the day she released her universal health care proposal, Clinton promises the SEIU that health care will be her number one domestic priority as president. She outlines her proposal as thus: Getting rid of coverage denials due to pre-existing conditions, genetic test results, or disabilities. She talks about employers and private individuals sharing the mandate to reach universal coverage, and promises pharmaceutical companies will have to bargain with Medicare to get costs down. Private insurance companies are part of her proposal, but she promises to make them heel. “Right now insurance companies spend $50 million trying to figure out how not to insure people. Well I’m going to save them a whole lot of money, because here’s the new policy: No more discrimination!”
