"No. We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices.... Government has to make those choices for people." --Hillary, on whether Americans should be able to make their own health care decisions.

Well I do know what decision to make with respect to you Mrs Clinton in November.

well given that there is no source to the OP...you are taking on faith that comment was ever made....but let's assume it was.

You think that is worse than

1. Trumps comments about the judge
2. Trumps continual inciting of violence
3. Trumps calling for religions test before entering the US
4. Trump suggesting the US should default on its debt
5. Trumps suggestion that more countries should have nuclear weapons
6. and on and on and on and on...

Here you go, I assume you are okay with a DU source? This was from in interview with Dennis Hastert where he recalled a conversation with her regarding her ill-fated 1994 attempt to reform healthcare

I mentioned ... to the first lady about medical savings accounts and just right away she said, "We can't do that." And I said, "Well, why?" And she said, "Well, there's two reasons." And I said, "Well, what are they?"

And she said "The first reason is with the medical savings account, people have to act on their own and make their own decisions about health care. And they have to make sure that they get the inoculations and the preventative care that they need, and we just think that people will skip too much because in a medical savings account if you don't spend it, you get to keep it or you can ... accumulate it in a health care account. We just think people will be too focused on saving money and they won't get the care for their children and themselves that they need. We think the government, by saying, 'You have to make this schedule. You have to have your kids in for inoculations here, you have to do a prescreening here, you have to do this' — the government will make better decisions than the people will make, and people will be healthier because of it."

I said, "Well, part of that's an education process. People have to understand that (if) they behave in a certain way, they're going to save money, (with the) preventive medicine issue — you get the prescreenings, if you can inoculate your kids you save money on it. I mean, they're not sick. You save money." She said, "No. We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices ... Government has to make those choices for people.

So, I cant decide how to spend my health care dollars, the govt has to make those choices for me? Screw that. Goes back to Snopes, but I have no reason to doubt it, do you?

Good assumption. Snopes says it is real: "This quote comes from a conversation relayed by Rep. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, then the chairman of the Republicans' House task force on health care, at a 1993 meeting with Hillary Clinton (as reported in David Brock's The Seduction of Hillary Rodham)."

You think that is worse than

1. Trumps comments about the judge

Assuming you mean "Trump's..." Do you mean where he said that a man who performs illegal acts as a judge, by providing a scholarship instead of a plane ticket to an illegal alien, is likely to be biased against a man who says that illegal alien should be deported? Yes, I think a government official suggesting the government knows better about how you should spend your money than you do is worse than that.

2. Trumps continual inciting of violence

Assumption of poor punctuation continues throughout. I've yet to hear Trump incite violence, but I have heard Hillary refer to how proud she is that Republicans are her enemies. Yes, I think a government official suggesting the government knows better about how you should spend your money than you do is worse than that.

3. Trumps calling for religions test before entering the US

Given that Trump has backpedaled from this to a more reasonable stance of, "if they're from a country that we can't trust the vetting, we shouldn't provide visas", yes, I think a government official suggesting the government knows better about how you should spend your money than you do is worse than that.

4. Trump suggesting the US should default on its debt

Please provide source for this. I've not heard it. So, yes, I think a government official suggesting the government knows better about how you should spend your money than you do is worse than that.

5. Trumps suggestion that more countries should have nuclear weapons

Are you suggesting that the United States alone should determine who is, and is not, allowed to have nuclear weapons? Do you believe there is anything we can do to stop them, short of war? Were you in favor of the Iran nuclear deal?

Yes, I think a government official suggesting the government knows better about how you should spend your money than you do is worse than that.

6. and on and on and on and on...

Yes, I think a government official suggesting the government knows better about how you should spend your money than you do is worse than that.
