- I don't object to Frau Clinton being put in charge
- because she the Prez 's wife. I object because
- she's a lawyer. She's upper middle class, covered
- by health insurance and probably has never had
- anything more traumatic than braces or
- appendectomy done.
-
- She doesn't know what it is to make less than $15000
- a year, and not be insurable because you are chronically
- ill. The sick people can't get iunsurance. I can't, because of
- prior history. My last ear infection bankrupted us. My insurance
- would run at least 150 a month and not cover my ears or anything
- else wrong.
-
- She can't relate to that. She hasn't the foggiest notion
- what it's like to eat macaroni for a week so the dr. can be paid.
-
- Besides which, malpractice suits are in her best interests.
- If she takes one, and the client gets 2 million, she
- could get a hefty chunk of it. It's like telling the wolf
- to guard the hen house.
-
- But, being she is a woman, perhaps her sensitive, compassionate side
- will come out. (If she has one.)
-
- Just m,y thoughts. Surely there'
- s someone more qualified?
