According to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Bush wants universal health coverage before the end of his presidency . (What??!! What??!!!) You will notice that this quote is embedded in an article about Hillary's new health care plan. Some may interpret this as Bush agreeing with ( or endorsing?) Hillary. That may have been the purpose of the author of the article. I'm not quite ready to panic yet, since Bush himself was not quoted on the topic.
Bush has done some incredibly stupid things in the spirit of getting along with the Dems, but this takes the cake. He appointed a wimpy attorney general recently, which was well received by the Dems. He also hasn't called for enforcement of immigration laws .
Hillary's plan may seem more palatable this time around, since some may keep coverage they already have and she "promises " no new bureaucracy. (LOL) It is still government-run health care which we all know only reduces the quality of care and treatment. Most Republicans, including the leading Presidential candidates , have it right. Their view: no socialized medicine. If Hill keeps touting this, the GOP could ride this issue straight into the White House.
