Clinton unveils new health care plan

What happens when a person "chooses" not to have healthcare and someone in my family becomes seriously ill, and it turns out this person is the host of the presumed illness. I believe it's called preventative healthcare that is in place now so this doesn't happen. I will agree it does happen, due to personal rights, or religious beliefs, may not receive immunizations that are meant to protect us all.:trout:

You know it wont work that way, Its our nature to assist all.

You answered your own question. People have the right NOT to receive healthcare, regardless of their insurance status. Perhaps you support the government mandating healthcare for all citizens, but that is a separate issue from insurance, and one I hope never comes to pass. God help us all when the government has the power to mandate what healthcare private citizens must receive.

So let's say you are exercising this right. How do you get into medical school or nursing school without the needed immunizations?

WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that a mandate requiring every American to purchase health insurance was the only way to achieve universal health care but she rejected the notion of punitive measures to force individuals into the health care system.

"At this point, we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed," the presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We're providing incentives and tax credits which we think will be very attractive to the vast majority of Americans."
She said she could envision a day when "you have to show proof to your employer that you're insured as a part of the job interview — like when your kid goes to school and has to show proof of vaccination," but said such details would be worked out through negotiations with Congress.

I attest to this as I am one of those people who did become sick from a unimmunized patient. Had a near-death experience, and now remain disabled, which begets attention to oneself and the community at large, begets depression, and on it goes.

The truth is that one can invest his/her own money in an FDIC insured savings account (an investment with the lowest return, due to the federal guarantee of funds) and still fare better than the return on Social Security. There is no need to purchase "risky" investment to outdo the government's track record. By investing a portion of one's money in federally-insured products, and a small amount in various higher-risk non-insured products, anyone can far out-pace the government's return, regardless of market conditions. The key is self-discipline and personal responsibility, something the government does NOT encourage. Politicians would rather convince you that you need to rely on them than support your efforts to provide for yourself.
