This question was inspired by a hateful email...keep em coming ;)

Answer 1

When Clinton's health care proposal went before Congress in 1993.

We had a Democratic majority in both the House and the Senate.

Democratic endfighting is what killed hillary care.

The bill never made it out of committee,

Committee's controled by democrat's.

There were three competing democratic sponsored bills they were looking at.

One very liberal, one middle of the road and one conservative.

The democratic members of the committee, could not agree on which bill, to allow out of the committee.

That infighting lasted untill Janurary 1995, when Republicans took control of Congress.

So for almost two years, the Democrats had a chance, to get Hillary care, out of committee, to be voted on by Congress.

Their own Democratic Party infighting, is what killed Hillary Care.

Not the TV ads.

To many people seem to forget, that the Democrats never allowed that bill to be voted on.

Answer 2

Beating her was a victory for the wealthy insurance companies. And they keep on screwing the American people. Much like the pharmaceutical companies are doing in the drug section of Medicare. I do think it was a learning experience for her. My own personal belief; how can see take campaign contribution from insurance & drug companies & then fight them? I have serious doubts about her. I hope she does not get the democratic nomination!

Answer 3

I heard Louise died because she needed treatment to save her life, but her insurance company denied it so some executive could get a Christmas bonus that year.
