If Hillary gives a damn about healthcare she might consider paying

[cali]

her bills for her campaign employees' health insurance. She's not. And what happens when you don't pay those bills? The policy gets cancelled. Hillary pays millions to sleaze bag consultants, has a $49,000 outstanding bill at the posh Beverly Wilshire and yet doesn't pay insurance premiums for her employees.

And she owes BC/BS a hefty amount too.

Fancy hotels and sleazebags like Mark Penn are clearly more important to her than the well being of her employees.

1. Don't forget the $25,000 for the Bellagio in Vegas!

I swear to god I would never give that campaign a thin dime after seeing what they waste money on.

[cali]

2. I can't imagine why they'd do this

It's just stupid.

9. I'm sure if you check out your candidate you will find the same

thing. BO and Michelle are used to living the good life. I'm sure they're not staying at the Days Inn. Plus they can always hit up Oprah if they run short.

[Debi]

11. You realize the BO campaign has only $625,000 in debt

compared to Clinton's $8 million?

And that Clinton's debts go back to Iowa - whereas Obama's seem to go back approx. 30 days?

And Oprah can't give them any more money than any other contributor ($4,600 max). So why even write that?

13. What a complete smack down!

Pretty awesome.

15. Just looking at BO's disbursments

I keep seeing Best Western.....not quite the Beverly Hilton :crazy:

16. Go look at the "2007 year end" totals for debt for both of them

Obama's doesn't seem to even hit 900,000 or 1 million.

HRC, on the other hand...these are JUST the big ticket debt items on her long IOU list:

Electrum Productions, LLC 217,602.10
Grunwald Communications 301,166.44
MSHC Partners, Inc. 624,153.42

17. Oh, I know

and you'll notice that Obama's staff all get paid on time. Unlike the Clinton campaign staff.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

3. Living high on the hog on her donors' money

Probably a big part of why she hasn't dropped out. She's funneling money from her donors to buddies like Penn, and staying at the Bellagio, having catered dinners, etc. Meanwhile she doesn't pay her health insurance bills.

If I had given her any money, I would be PISSED.

[Kittycat]

4. Putting this on the greatest, for the people she cares so little about.

Healthcare for god's sake! That's nearly all she has left to stand on.

[Undercurrent]

7. Additionally she owes

CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield 299,455.02

[cbayer]

5. I thought we hated these health insurance companies?

Oh, god, now I am so confused.

But seriously, this report does not say whether these are delinquent or not. How many employees does she have? This could represent a quarterly payment. Anyone who is an employer and has the goodness to cover their employees knows how expensive these policies are.

The fact that she has insurance for them at all is a positive thing. She is not required to do so. Does Obama have health insurance for his employees?


So until we have more information on this, I would consider it a distortion.

[Debi]

14. Yes, all Democratic presidential campaigns carried health insurance

coverage for their employees.

[slinkerwink]

6. so much for being all about health care. There should be ads run about this.

[LVjinx]

18. You guys really DO want to lose in November, don't you?

[uponit7771]

8. K&R, but she pays some "consultant class" person 6 million?!?!!

[Debi]

10. She still has quite a bit of Iowa and New Hampshire debt
