A little time out for politics. . .

Is she kidding?? What part of freedom of choice does she not understand?? You can choose to have an abortion, but you cannot choose to not have health insurance. . .

WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be
willing to have workers' wages garnished if they refuse to buy health insurance
to achieve coverage for all Americans.

The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for
pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not
always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed
during a television interview, she said: "I think there are a number of
mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people's wages, automatic
enrollment."

Clinton said such measures would apply only to workers who can afford
health coverage but refuse to buy it, which puts undue pressure on hospitals and
emergency rooms. Under her plan, she said, health care "will be affordable for
everyone" because she would limit premium payments "to a low percent of your
income." - copied from AP By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writer
