How Hillary Won Over the Health-Care Industry

She was persona non grata in the early 1990s, when the then-first lady's dramatic health-care reform package went down. These days Hillary Clinton is winning raves among health-care-industry groups—and attracting their campaign dollars.

    Equitable healthcare for all americans is a great idea, but everyone must understand that they will have to pay for it through tax dollars.

    By now Hillary is certainly well informed about our health care system, probably more so than the other candidates, but if she is elected one would hope that she represents the interests of thevast majority of the public and not the special interest groups that are funding her campaign. Hard choices will have to be made in order to reform our health care system and Success can often be achieved by those who have failed in the past if they truly learn from their mistakes.

    Universal Coverage is a tantalizing idea, but the public must be aware that we will have to pay for it. Hilary has been quoted as saying she "wants to be the health care president". Her opponent John Edwards has implied she may become one by negotiating compromises with the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.

    This would be a shame since in my opinion allowing these two industries a large voice in health care reform is similar in part, to putting the fox in charge of the hen house. Let???s hope that our national health care debate can tackle real issues and come up with some meaningful changes that can provide a more equitable health care system, one that provides quality healthcare to all Americans.
