Quality or Not -- Support the Woman: Hillary Clinton for President

by Carrie K. Hutchens

I find it totally offensive that some women are supporting Hillary Clinton simply because she is a woman. How disrespectful of self and others is that?

I believe that "qualified" and "quality" women should have an equal chance at being in law enforcement (or any other position being sought) as any "qualified" and "quality" man. However, I do not believe that women should have some free pass that skips the qualified and quality stage and puts totally unsuitable women in a position they (as individuals) have no business being in.

Responding to any call, promoting the "women's agenda" would be the last thing on my mind. I would want my fellow officers to be trained and capable. I really wouldn't be happy to know that my supposed backup was a female that was wearing the badge not because she deserved it, but because women's rights groups not only forced the door open for her -- they decreased "quality" in the process. Primary on my mind would be all of us getting home safely -- not that some points were made for the women's movement.

So what are women thinking in this voting process?

Do they want a "woman" so badly that they are willing to sell themselves out?

Do they think if we don't grab Hillary that we have lost all chances of putting a woman in charge of the White House ever?

Do they think Hillary Clinton is the last woman in the world?

Perhaps we should share the secret that there are plenty of truly qualified and quality women out there that could and would excel as our president. We don't need to settle. We don't need to lie, steal, cheat, or manipulate our way to the top position of our country. Instead, we need to be honest, able and ready to fight for right for all, rather than clinging to out-dated personal agendas that have turned destructive in nature and action.

Sexism has affected Hillary Clinton's campaign and she is complaining? Looks like the only way it has affected her campaign is to get her a blind following. A following that will vote for the woman irregardless of any reason they shouldn't. (Isn't this sexism in and of itself?)

Sexism? It isn't that HIllary Clinton is a woman that goes against her. It is that the woman is Hillary Clinton.

We don't have to settle and we shouldn't.

Mrs. Clinton Lying About Health Care

A pregnant woman and her unborn child died after being refused treatment at an Ohio hospital having been turned away because she was unable to pay. The account of the incident, as repeatedly told by Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, goes on to say that the hospital demanded $100 payment “up front” when she told them that she was uninsured. After being refused treatment she later retuned to the hospital by ambulance and subsequently died after delivering a stillborn infant.

Mrs. Clinton has repeated this story many times at rallies when making her case for universal health care. The problem is, it is not true. Mrs. Clinton, beginning with her husband’s first term as president has claimed to be an expert on the American health care system and especially its many faults and failings. She and her advisors proposed radical and sweeping changes that were soundly rejected in 1993. She is back again promising even bigger and better plans for “free” health care for all.

With all her professed expertise it is hard to understand how it is that she doesn’t understand the laws that prevent just such an incident as related above from happening. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) was passed by Congress in 1986 as part of Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act and it requires hospitals and emergency services to provide emergency care to any person in need regardless of ability to pay, citizenship, or any other reason. Patients cannot be discharged except with their consent and only when the condition has been stabilized or when the patient is tranferred to another facility better equipped to handle the emergency. A transfer requires that, first the hospital must do all that they can to stabilize the patient’s condition and then the attending physician (usually the ER doc) must contact the doctor at the facility to which the patient is to be transferred and provide a thorough report of the patient’s condition and the doctor at the receiving hospital has to accept the patient and agree to provide the appropriate care. All of this has to be thoroughly documented and all records have to accompany the patient to the receiving hospital. Any failure to comply with EMTALA regulations can result in very stiff fines to the hospital and possible loss of certification and disqualification from caring for and billing for Medicare and Medicaid patients in the future (this would result in financial ruin).

If Mrs. Clinton is ignorant of this situation, which is hard to believe, then she most certainly is ignorant of many other aspects of medical care in the U.S. and is not qualified to propose a plan to overhaul a system that she clearly doesn’t understand. The alternative consideration, which is much more likely, is that she knowingly relates a story that she knows to be false for the purpose of advancing her political ambitions by portraying American doctors and hospitals as heartless beasts that care only about money. Emotionally aroused, her listeners eagerly buy into her plan to let Government take over so that all Americans can then have “free health care.” Well, if you like going to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles for new plates or calling the IRS for information about deductions, you are going to love Government Health Care. In any event, don’t voters deserve an honest discussion of the issues before making a decision? An emotional appeal based on lies is not the way to solve the very serious problems that exist in American health care.

Hillary Has More to Explain

Dan Calabrese who writes for North Star Writers Group has an article on-line posted yesterday. In it he interviews Jerry Ziefman, a lifelong Democrat, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate investigation. Ziefman fired Hillary from her position and when asked why he said:

“Because she was a liar,...She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

Could this be the mortal wound that brings Hillary’s political career to an unanticipated and abrupt end? Maybe, but never underestimate the power and ruthlessness of Clinton, Inc.
