Hillary's Done It Again

To illustrate the need for her brand of government-controlled health care, Hillary has been educating audiences with a health care horror story -- an uninsured pregnant woman lost her baby and died herself after twice being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not come up with a $100 fee. Hillary further made her point by describing the woman as a young, uninsured minimum wage worker.

She has been telling campaign rallies "It hurts me that in our country, as rich and good of a country as we are, this young woman and her baby died because she couldn’t come up with $100 to see the doctor.”

Trouble is -- it's not true.

The woman was a 35-year-old manager of a Pizza Hut with medical insurance. She was admitted to the hospital and the baby was stillborn. The mother died two weeks later while under the care of a physician.

A local Ohio newspaper tracked down the supposed incident and identified the hospital and person in question. Hillary heard the story third hand and the hospital said neither she nor any of the staff bothered to check the facts with the hospital. It obviously was too good story to pass up because of truth.

Blatant!!!

To see the true results of a government controlled health system, in this case Canadian, take a look at this five-minute video,

A Short Course in Brain Surgery,

which tells the plight of an Ontario man with a cancerous brain tumor who crossed the border to the U.S. to get the medical care that is rationed in his home country.
