Reply #16: The DLC all but authored Sen. Clinton's (DLC) 2008 health plan,

;'American Choices.' The Plan being thrashed out in Congress, you know,the one being bitterly opposed by Republicans, is very close to Hillary's (and Edward's) proposals in the Primaries. If anythinfg 'American Choices' was more progressive: Expanding MEDICARE (as well as Medicaid, )tax credits for lower income earners capping health costs at no more than 7.5% of income, taxing employee benefits for those earning more than $250,000,, and a stronger public option starting with medicare plus, while also offering the full range of choices available on the plans available to congress Congress, no if nor buts. All strongly backed by the DLC, and oh, so very REPUBLICAN. NOT.

For Bill and Hillary Clinton, DLC leaders, Health Care is personal, very personal. 'The Clintons don't forget'.
