Re: On healthcare (2.00 / 1)

Yeah, probably.  Maybe we could at least have it signed into law and in progress in 4 years?

Both candidates promised recently that they would (none / 0)

start IMMEDIATELY to try to get a healthcare plan passed. Many people are just hanging on, even a year or two is too long. I fully expect demonstrations to begin within a few months if we dont see ACTION, nomatter if a Democrat or Republican gets into office in November. Empty promises wont do it.

I think that with a Democratic president, the process will  start immediately.  However, this will take a long time to get anything passed.  Anything that is a real step forward will probably get some type of court challenge.  I'm all for demonstrations on this issue, I just hope they are directed at our opponents instead of allies.

the diarist knows that this is not true... (none / 0)

hillary wasn't even going to send her health care proposal to the hill until her 7th year in office.  you know, after republicans won more and more seats in congress (just like bill).  hillary understood that she had no hope for passing her health care ideas into law.  obviously, some of her supporters are a lot more naive than she was...
