Blago screws Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago

Children's hospital

On October 8, Blagojevich told a person described only as "Individual A" that he was willing to make $8 million available for Children's Memorial Hospital, but "I want to get for 50."

Individual A felt that Blagojevich was talking about a $50,000 campaign contribution from the hospital's chief executive officer and that the $8 million referred to a recent commitment by Blagojevich to secure state funds via "some type of pediatric care reimbursement."

"Intercepted phone conversations between Rod Blagojevich and others indicate that Rod Blagojevich is contemplating rescinding his commitment of state funds to benefit Children's Memorial Hospital because Hospital Executive 1 has not made a recent campaign contribution," the affidavit says. snip

One interesting factoid about blago. All kids get public aid in the state of IL. All kids are insured. The state doesn't reinburse the hospitals or clinics in a good amount of time, but all kids born in the USA get public aid medical insurance in IL and this happened under Blago. On the other hand blago is very mentally ill himself. (My own personal medical assessment).

1. I hope this doesn't mean they won't get that overhead projector...

Or was that the Planetarium?

I better ring up McCain and ask.
