Hillary Caught Lying About Ohio Hospital Denying Healthcare »
Posted by: Aidenag 1 year, 9 months agoOver the last five weeks, Hillary Clinton of has featured in her speeches the story of a health care horror: an uninsured pregnant woman who lost her baby and died herself after being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not come up with a $100 fee. Turns out, she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured.

April 5, 2008, 12:48 p.m.Hillary lies again...this is news?
What is interesting is that the baby boy was stillborn. In the Libs playbook this was never life let alone a baby. If it had been a partial birth abortion it would never get such a distinction by the Libs. They determine life based on whether the child is wanted or not. Sounds a bit odd to me but abortion is a religion based on faith that has just a few inconsistencies.

April 5, 2008, 3:11 p.m.Why is the title for this post 'Hillary Caught Lying' ?
The article says the hospital disputes what Hilary said. It does verify that some of the story is true; mother and child died.
And it says:
"The hospital would not provide details about the woman's case, citing privacy concerns; she died two weeks after the stillbirth at a medical center in Columbus."
After reading the article, it is by no means clear to me that she lied. The hospital could be lying; or the facts could be somewhere in-between.
With a whole country full of verifiable health care horror stories, and people examining everything she says, why would Hilary make a story up?
If what she was told was not true, and she repeated it without investigation because it suited her argument, I guess that is a kind of lie.
But if using stories without verification, is a kind of lie,
it puts a heavy responsibility on chat-room users and social-news groups, no?

April 5, 2008, 5:49 p.m.Oh my! Hillary caught in another lie?!!?? Tell me it isn't so! Did anyone catch her "heartfelt" description of throwing her bag across the room when she heard MLK died? I almost lost my lunch. YEECCHHHH! I wonder when her roommate is going to speak up and reveal that it wasn't her bag she threw across the room, she threw Bill.
Hillary needs go quietly into the night.

April 5, 2008, 6:09 p.m.The irony being that under Slick, hospital compliance audit programs were significantly increased. Ostensibly to ensure proper medicare/medicaid billing practices, included in the audit scope were billing errors typical of any business. Fines in the millions of dollars were imposed on hospitals across the nation for making the same billing mistakes as Billy Bob's Transmission Shop. Any hospital that balked was threatened with the bottomless litigation power of the federal government.
And these imps think they know how to provide healthcare to the needy? What a joke. And the joke is on those who might have received care had the hospitals over the past 15 years been able to direct those resources toward those who need it the most.

April 5, 2008, 6:46 p.m.Monkey,
You attacked 'me' on my first post but not my argument. If it is sophmoric please enlighten me with your view on the substance of what I said that was incorrect.
By the way, religion is not always defined as candles and crosses.

April 5, 2008, 8 p.m.She is a pathological lier. Telling lies and making up stories is in her blood.
So here are your choices:
1. A born lier who would say & do anything to get elected.
2. A hypocrite who keeps saying "sorry" and "I was wrong" for all the things he has done in the past. He wants us to believe he is not that person "now".
3. A candidate whose color of his skin makes people dislike him besides being most qualified of the 3.
Let us see how many people have brains to absorb and analyze these 3 and vote for the right one.

April 5, 2008, 10:13 p.m.There are plenty of healthcare horror stories. Any of you could make up a healthcare horror story and there will be someone who actually experienced it. The uninsured aren't the only victims more often it is people with insurance who are denied care by their insurance companies. Yhe health insurance card in your wallet doesn't guarantee you will not be the next victim. You should only hope you will live to tell about it.

April 5, 2008, 10:28 p.m.Not to defend Hillary, but relating a story she believed is not a lie unless she knew the facts of the story and then chose to tell the story anyway. I guess that's what she gets for trusting a Democratic deputy sheriff.
Question for my fellow Ohians down in Bugscratch: think maybe you ought to check out the cases this deputy has worked on? Just think of all the criminals you can spring from jail in time for the election!!!

April 6, 2008, 1:18 a.m.Abortion is murder. Especially when Obama says that it's ok to kill the baby if it's born alive. When is it murder if not then? How about when you take it home and it won't stop crying so you strangle it? Is it murder then?
At what time does it change from an abortion to murder?
You libs are a very sick bunch.

April 6, 2008, 12:03 p.m.Monkey, Good morning...please calm down and explain the procedure of partial birth abortion. Then explain how when labor is induced and the 'object' is in the birth canal(or abortion canal) that scissors are stuck in the 'things' skull and the brain is sucked out just prior to it seeing the light of day. Why if a woman had been with 'thing' for 8 months that she would want to have this done so late?
Please do this without saying party line stuff either way so that we will listen to your position.

Partial Birth Abortion

April 6, 2008, 2:21 p.m.Brenda Pratt Shafer, a registered nurse with thirteen years or experience, was assigned by her nursing agency to an abortion clinic. Since Nurse Shafer considered herself "very pro-choice," she didn't think this assignment would be a problem. She was wrong. This is what Nurse Shafer saw:
" I stood at the doctor's side and watched him perform a partial-birth abortion on a woman who was six months pregnant. The baby's heartbeat was clearly visible on the ultrasound screen. The doctor delivered the baby's body and arms, everything but his little head. The baby's body was moving.

April 6, 2008, 2:21 p.m.His little fingers were clasping together. He was kicking his feet. The doctor took a pair of scissors and inserted them into the back of the baby's head, and the baby's arms jerked out in a flinch, a startle reaction, like a baby does when he thinks that he might fall. Then the doctor opened the scissors up. Then he stuck the high-powered suction tube into the hole and sucked the baby's brains out. Now the baby was completely limp. I never went back to the clinic. But I am still haunted by the face of that little boy. It was the most perfect, angelic face I have ever seen."

April 6, 2008, 2:26 p.m.A few states have outlawed some or all forms of Partial Birth Abortion. The national Congress has passed a Partial Birth Abortion ban, however President Clinton has vetoed this bill. The American Medical Association Legislative Council voted unanimously to recommend endorsement of the bill, however the Senate has still been unable to override Clinton's veto.
Partial Birth Abortion remains legal primarily because of common misconceptions about the topic. Many people believe that partial birth abortions are rare, and are only performed to save the mother. However, in the United States alone, thousands of partial birth abortions are performed every year, almost exclusively for elective and not health-based reasons1. These babies are killed: were they to be fully and not partially delivered their lives could be saved.

April 6, 2008, 6:28 p.m.Abortion will never be outlawed, never.
Heck we can't even limit it. I had to go with my daugther get her drivers permit at the DMV and I needed Birth cert.,SS card, and I had to be there to sign for it. Yet at 15 if she get's pregnant I am not notified, allowed to give my opinion, allowed to counsel my own daughter before the gov't does a medical procedure on her body. Slice it any way you want. That is not right!
