Hillary Learned the Wrong Lesson from 1994 Health Care Fiasco

by Rose Ann DeMoro

The pundits might have it right on this one. Hillary Clinton did learn a lesson from her 1994 fiasco on healthcare reform. Unfortunately for most of us who don't have an Inc. after our name or a private jet to cart us around, it was the wrong lesson.

In the days leading up to the announcement of her latest, much anticipated health plan, Sen. Clinton threw around the word "consensus" a lot. In this case, the consensus she was seeking was with the same industry that so savaged her prior experience with healthcare.

This time, she apparently wants to soften them up in advance with a proposal that will generate hundreds of millions of dollars in additional profits for the insurance giants. It's probably not a coincidence that she is also the top recipient of healthcare sector contributions to her presidential campaign.

1. Hundreds of millions?

2. This is my BIG problem with Her. Until we cut out the middleman...

...from our Insurance crisis, we'll NEVER be able to afford health Care for everybody.

I like her personally, but she reminds me of someone trying to fix a worn-out Automobile that has 200,000 miles on it by doing a $29.95 "Tune-Up".

Sorry..Hillary...it ain't gonna' fix the problem.
