Since the Terri Schiavo case began to dominate the headlines ten days ago, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has gone into virtual hiding - refusing to show up for last Sunday's vote on congressional intervention and offering no public comment on the case in the intervening eight days.
But in Sept. 1993, while appearing before Congress to sell her ill-fated health care reform plan, Mrs. Clinton suggested that she wanted to make it easier to deny long term care to patients like Schiavo who have little chance of recovery.
"I think there should be a discussion in this country about what is appropriate care . . . with more thought and more concern about both the human and the economic cost," she told the Senate Finance Committee. Referring to her own health care plan, Hillary explained:
"If we do this health care reform right [we can] create the kind of security we're talking about so that people will know that they're not being denied treatment for any reason other than it is not appropriate, it will not enhance or save the quality of life."
Mrs. Clinton hinted that she thought that even patients who were not necessarily terminally ill should be denied life-saving treatment

There are millions of Americans who think that denying Hillary Clinton air to breathe would be justified.
I agree whole heartedly.
Folks, the real reason the Dems vote for death is out. This is what social security and heathcare reforms will look like under the Democrats.
BTTT
pull the beast's plug
This needs to be a major campaign issue in 2008.
Lets see how eager the eldery are to put their lives in the Hildabeast's hands.
Logan's run, here we come!
I have an idea for a new bumper sticker:
"Stop Obesity: Remove Hillary's Feeding Tube!"
"If we do this health care reform right [we can] create the kind of security we're talking about so that people will know that they're not being denied treatment for any reason other than it is not appropriate, it will not enhance or save the quality of life."
No wonder she has stayed hidden under a little rock. What Hillry could not get done nationally seems to have been done state by state, and money seems to be the bottom line.
bump!
Picking up rocks brings all sorts of creepy crawlies out in the light.
My God.
This article just made this whole situation even more nightmarish . . .

Many Freepers agree with Hillary.
Unfortunately there was no Roe v Wade around when Mrs. Rodham conceived the Hildabeast (WINO). /sarcasm
Better yet....sew her mouth shut.
If by some fluke she manages to get elected president she now has a firm starting point for her wishes on this thanks to a rogue county judge and a decided lack of will from our current "leadership."
