As if her Bosnia gaffe wasn't enough (see video here and here), Hillary Clinton seems to have made another. This time it's a story that appears often in her stump speech -- about a woman in labor who lacks health insurance and cannot afford her hospital bill. As a result, she and the baby both die.
Even aside from the lack of healthcare, it is a horrifying tale -- but Clinton's point is that the healthcare system is flawed and the New York Times now reports that the woman DID have healthcare and DID receive treatment.
Yikes. Maybe she had bad information?
