Clinton Healthcare Plan [View all]

If you can't pay the permiums. Can't pay the deductible. Can't pay the out-of-pocket. Don't understand the maze of paperwork and terminology. If you don't have dentalcare. You don't have eyecare.

Not in the plan.

This is the healthcare plan you think is superior to Sanders? Its full of fluff and platitudes. No explainations. No specific details. No financial plan of how she will do anything different than it is now. Just lip service:

What she is says is:

"Whatever you have now, you can keep it"

Choosing between eating and paying premiums? The same!

Don't go to the doctor because you can't afford the deductible or out-of-pocket? The same!

Got gum disease and loosing your teeth because you can't afford dental care? The same!

Have a hard time reading and driving safely because you can't afford an eye care? The same!

As I have seen written here several times now from HRC supporters,, "I have no complaints, I have great healthcare" so does Clinton.
Sadly, millions, even those "covered", their income falls into that gap where don't qualify for free plans and the plans they do get, and their respective high deductiblea and out-of-pocket, creates very tough decisions in a struggling household.


I don't hold it against Clinton really. Making millions of dollars from 20 minute speeches, no matter her rhetoric, she has no idea what challenges people go through. I do. I can manage the expenses of normal issues now. My body reminds me of it daily from a time I could not.

Seriously, I want to hear from Clinton supporters. You have been calling out Sanders all day.
