Former HHS Secretary Donna Shalala is in, perhaps, the tightest congressional race in this year's midterm election cycle.Shalala, who headed the department for eight years under former President Bill Clinton and previously served as the president of the University of Miami, is the Democratic nominee campaigning to represent Florida's 27th congressional district.
The polls have her neck-and-neck in a race where healthcare issues, specifically the lack of Medicaid expansion in Florida and the future of the Affordable Care Act, have taken center stage.
Shalala spoke to HealthLeaders about why she's frustrated with the Trump administration's approach to the healthcare system and what she would aim to accomplish if elected to Congress.
HL: Why are you running and what's most important to your campaign? Shalala: Well, I decided to run because I was pretty pissed off with what was going on in Washington. [The Trump administration] was basically destroying the healthcare system that we have in this country, undercutting existing programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. If you're poor, if you're handicapped, if you're a senior, or if you're a working stiff and don't have access to healthcare, that's a disaster. And increasing the number of people without coverage is a public health disaster for our country.

Nothing worse than a pissed-off dwarf....
Democrats wake up every morning “pissed off” and frustrated. They just have to find out what it is about for that particular day.
She’s got internals showing her losing big.
(To the tune of Layla by Clapton)
Shalala!!
You got me on my knees!
Shalala!!
I'm beggin' darlin' please!
An ugly as batshit one at that......
Hmmm? What was it George Carlin said about that?
So Princess Shamalamadingdong is upset. Isn't that just special?!
She is going to lose.
She ought to be ‘pissed off’ at the hairstylist who f***ed-up her head.
The country was in an uproar and the Clinton Admin was circling the bowl.
Then, just like that, OKC building got bombed ...
Her statement was forgotten ...
Unlimited supply of angry lesbians.
Good lawd ... she looks like a character from one of Tolkien’s books. She also makes Elena Kagan look like a Playboy centerfold.
Just the thought of her having lived with Janet Reno makes me queasy.
I thought that was what BHO & Co. wanted?
Hey Donna, on election day that’s going to change to pissed on.
Shalala, like Hillary, is pissed that she actually has to win the election. She is entitled to be a US Senator just like Hillary is entitle to be POTUS.
“Former HHS Secretary Donna Shalala Is ‘Pissed Off’”
Vapor lock you hideous hag.
There’s an old saying in my Irish family. Better to be pissed off than pissed on.
She is apparently still alive.
Until the 6th.
