–Sen. Hillary Clinton's recent
healthcare plan is a flawed strategy that "fails to meet the basic
requirements of pragmatic reform" says the Libertarian Party after Clinton
announced her second attempt at universal healthcare policy. "Clinton's
healthcare plan is the wrong approach to healthcare reform both on a
logistical and moral level," says Executive Director of the Libertarian
Party, Shane Cory. "Clinton's plan is simply a new prescription for 'Hillary
Care' that she prescribed more than a decade ago. It wasn't good then, and
it isn't good now."
