Hillary is sleeping with the ENEMY!
May 5, 2008
Some of the same interests that tried to derail Mrs. Clinton’s health care overhaul are providing support for her Senate re~election bid.
The Health Insurance Association of America ran the famous “Harry and Louise” commercials mocking the Clinton health care plan as impenetrably complex. Some companies that were members of that group are now donating to Mrs. Clinton.
FOLLOW THE MONEY, Baby Boomers!
Charles N. Kahn III, a Republican who was executive vice president of the Health Insurance Association in 1993 and 1994, now works with the senator on some issues as president of the Federation of American Hospitals, a lobby for hospital companies like HCA and Tenet. He describes his battles with the first lady as “ancient history,” and he said health care executives were contributing to her now because “she is extremely knowledgeable about health care and has become a Congressional leader on the issue.”
Let’s see…once they were in the enemies camp now they are strange bed fellows!HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Senator Clinton has received $150,600 in contributions from insurance and pharmaceutical companies, which she accused in 1993 of “price gouging” and “unconscionable profiteering.”
Such a small amount to sell your soul for…I would have thought she would have crumbled for MORE!strong>
The financial support is an intriguing turn of events for a political figure who became a pariah for many in the health care industry after President Bill Clinton appointed her to head the Task Force on National Health Care Reform. The recommendations spawned by that panel, calling for universal health care, minimum coverage requirements and potential limits on health care spending increases, were derided as “Hillarycare” by opponents and arguably cost Democrats control of the House of Representatives in the 1994 midterm elections.
I believe that Hillary has finally shown her true colors to me. I was at one time a supporter. But I will NOT sleep with the medical companies or the blood sucking, death giving pharmaceutical companies…follow the money!
So much for HILLARYCARE!
The rapprochement partly reflects how Mrs. Clinton has moderated her positions from more than a decade ago, proposing legislation to increase Medicare payments or stave off cuts in payments to doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, managed care companies and home health agencies.
Baby Boomers…we are now in the age group where we are going to need health care. We are looking for life expectancy to increase. Watch who you vote for. Know the facts of who you are dealing with and who the politicians are sleeping with…because for every action there is a reaction. A bet can’t be placed with out a pay off! Don’t let it be at your EXPENCE!
She has introduced a bill to lower the cost of malpractice insurance for doctors who disclose medical errors to patients. With strong support from the industry, she has pushed legislation to promote the adoption of health information technology. Providers and consumers praise her efforts to expand insurance coverage for mental health care and to finance long term care for older Americans living at home.
There you go BABY BOOMERS…the icing on the cake…when you go to the voting poles remember this and vote accordingly! I know I will be! Hillary, you have lost my vote!
