HillaryCare: It’s Baaack!
Hillary Clinton wants to put a heath care chicken in every pot. You can buy it anywhere you want. It can be served in a variety of ways. Individuals with health problems and no health coverage (pre-existing conditions) will not be penalized with higher premiums. The best part of all, it will be affordable (virtually free).
