I doubt Hillary is going to say she was right on the Trina Bechtel case.

The fact is that Trina had health insurance and wasn't turned down when she had problems with her baby.

The story is now a complete counter to the point Hillary was trying to make, where Hillary was trying to blame lack of coverage for Trina's death and was trying to claim that having coverage would have saved her life.

1. As an Obama supporter, I actually wish Hillary had not screwed this up

Sure, I could revel in my opponent's screwing up, but in fact, what this does is undermine the ability of politicians to tell people these health care horror stories that we all know are very real.

2. I think it makes my original point which is that health insurance is not health care.

Health insurers try so hard to get you to only see certain doctors with certain permission, using certain drugs and certain facilities. It makes it so complicated because every insurer is different. Maybe this is the reason Trina didn't go to the closer hospital. I don't know.

What I do know is that after examining our candidates plans, I am now absolutely sure that single payer is the only way to go.

3. Is Obama running for the president of "Hillary said Trina didn't have health insurance"?

Just curious, because I am looking for someone to fix the war and the economy.

4. Obama hasn't said a word about the situation at all.

Maybe he was off today? I'm not sure.

In any case, some businesses are going to fail because of health care costs, so that does go to this subject.

The problem is much larger than everyone having health insurance.

5. Yes and no.

She was turned down by Hospital A when she had no coverage. She was accepted by Hospital B when she did.

The argument can still be made that had she been able to be seen by Hospital A back when she had no coverage, she and her baby might have lived.

But it's kind of complex to go back and explain that now, and doing so would just bring the whole issue of her truthiness to mind again, so you're right, she probably won't.
