So Politico.com reports that Hillary is having trouble paying her healthcare bills. Ironic since shes supposed to bring health care to the States. Snippet:
The campaign provides health insurance to all its employees, their spouses, partners and children — and that wasn’t interrupted by any lag in payments to insurance providers, said Jay Carson, a Clinton campaign spokesman.He said the campaign this month paid off all outstanding bills to Aetna Healthcare and CareFirst BlueCross
BlueShield. Those payments will be reflected on a report the campaign will file this month with the Federal Election Commission, which Carson said will show “zero debt owed to both vendors.”But the unpaid bills to Aetna were at least two months old, according to FEC filings. They show the
campaign ended last year owing Aetna more than $213,000 for “employee benefits.”During the first two months of the year, the campaign did not pay down any of that debt. In fact, it accrued another $16,000 in unpaid bills last month, and it finished the month owing Aetna $229,000.
Comparison with other candidates?
But Arizona Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, did not report any unpaid bills to insurance providers at the end of February. And the only insurance-related debt reported by Obama, an Illinois senator, was $908 to AIG American International Group for “insurance.”
Note to Hillary. If you’ve made universal health care the foundation of your campaign, you really should be paying your insurance bills. Especially if your going to require everyone obtain health coverage.
