Poll question: Do You Support Commoditizing of Insurance And Forcing Americans to Pay For It?
Advertisements [?]
Following the Reagan vision, The Clintons commoditized:

* "Energy markets"(Enron)

* Investment Banking (hedge funds; allowing banks to purchase FIRE cos.)

* Postal Service (privatization of the USPS)

* Telecommunications (marketization of ownership, bandwidth, public media)

* "Health Care markets" (HMOs; privatization of Blue Cross Blue Shield)

None of the leading Dem candidates wants these "advances" reversed.

They see them as positive legacies of the Clinton era that we must
actually safeguard from "wackos" on the left and right who wish
the government to stop subsidizing "managed competition" --
what used to be called mercantilism or cartel economies.

Do DUers support the leading Democratic candidates' common vision?
