sorry, but you don't get to force those kinds of choices down the public's throat. and don't get me wrong, i think it's awesome that health care is such a priority for Hillary, whether it's simply politically expedient for her to take that stance or she actually believes in it, but it's not Government's job to force people to participate. it is in their interests to ensure that it's available, yes, but those two concepts are not in any way the same.
