This anti-capitalist position combined with her John Kerry position on the war might be what sinks her campaign. Also, The Wall Street Journal reported that in a speech on reducing health care costs she declared that "insurers be required to sell coverage to anyone who wants it and said companies should be barred from charging sicker people higher premiums." The mind reels. Should insurers also be prohibited from charging bad drivers more for car insurance? Will there be Nixonian wage and price controls for insurance companies?
In that same article concerning health care; apparently she also doesn't like new drugs, nor the cost associated with bringing new drugs to the market, declaring:
"A lot of these so-called blockbuster drugs are no more effective and sometimes less effective in treating conditions than the old standbys."
Presumably Dr. Clinton will instruct the drug companies and doctors around the country which drug trials to pursue.
Her John Kerry Position: Should she survive the primaries she will now be in precisely the same position as John Kerry: she was for the War before she was against it and against withdrawal deadlines before she was for them. How quickly they forget.
