If you are familiar at all with software engineering, you may have heard the term "vaporware". Here's a definition from Wikipedia:"Vaporware is software or hardware product which is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge, either with or without a protracted development cycle. The term implies unwarranted optimism, or sometimes even deception; that is, it may imply that the announcer knows that product development is in too early a stage to support responsible statements about its completion date, feature set, or even feasibility."
Interesting, eh? Now, take a look at this article discussing Hillary Clinton's health care plan. Will Hillary's vision of universal health care coverage truly materialize, or will it prove to be, well, merely vaporcare*?
*Please note that, to my knowledge, I am the inventor of this word (take note, Stephen Colbert).
