They said, &#8216;Sorry, we need a hundred bucks from you.\u2019 The woman didn\u2019t have a hundred bucks. She was turned away. She went home. She gave birth to the baby. The baby died; she died. Mrs. Clinton says, &#8216;We need health care insurance!\u2019 Now, the woman involved here, Trina Bechtel, did die last August two weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at a hospital in Athens, Ohio. But hospital administrators said last Friday that Ms. Bechtel &#8216;was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment. She was, in fact, insured. &#8216;Linda Weiss, a spokeswoman for the hospital, said the Clinton campaign had never contacted the hospital to check the accuracy of the story, which Mrs. Clinton had first heard from a Meigs County, Ohio, sheriff\u2019s deputy in late February.\u2019 The family of this woman, Trina Bechtel, is outraged that Mrs. Clinton is lying about them. They\u2019re not poor, they did have health insurance, and they are fed up, as is the hospital. This is Bosnia all over again, but it\u2019s typical. This is disgusting, even for Hillary. She\u2019s so eager to make everybody a victim. She smears a dead woman and her family, claiming they were poor and didn\u2019t have insurance, when they did. Friday in Grand Forks, North Dakota, this is Mrs. Clinton in North Dakota, campaign event, a portion of her remarks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125115.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"355\" class=\"alignright\"\/>HILLARY: I was campaigning in Ohio a few weeks ago, and I was in southern Ohio down on the Ohio River. It\u2019s part of Appalachia. It was a poor part of the state. I was meeting with a group of people in a mobile home. And a deputy sheriff told me about a young woman from that town who had worked at the local pizza parlor. She worked for minimum wage. She sure didn\u2019t have health insurance. She got pregnant. She started having trouble. She went to the nearest hospital. There wasn\u2019t one in her county. And the hospital, whom I do not blame, said, &#8216;We can\u2019t take any more charity care, particularly from out of the county, so before we examine you, we\u2019ve got to have a hundred dollars.\u2019 Well, you might as well have asked this young woman for a million dollars. She went back home.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: She then, ladies and gentlemen, continued providing details of this lie to make America look like a cold, heartless place.<\/p>\n<p>HILLARY: She came back a little while later, still having trouble. They told her the same thing. Next time she went to that hospital was in an ambulance. She came in through the emergency room. The doctors and the nurses tried very hard, but they weren\u2019t able to save her baby, and she was so bad off that they had to have her airlifted to the nearest big city, Columbus, and taken to the Medical Center &#8212; and for 15 days in the intensive care unit, doctors and nurses worked heroically. But she died. As I was listening to this story being told, I was just aching inside. It is so wrong in this &#8212; such a good, great, and rich country &#8212; that a young woman and her baby would die because she didn\u2019t have health insurance or a hundred dollars to get examined.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: None of it\u2019s true, other than the woman and the baby died. But the rest of it is all one hundred percent BS. Not a shred of it\u2019s true. Lying through her teeth, repeatedly &#8212; this is just last Friday &#8212; for the express purpose of making America look like a cold, heartless place. Mrs. Clinton can\u2019t tell an uplifting, positive story representing American exceptionalism. If it would save her campaign, she cannot do it. It doesn\u2019t fit the Democrat template. This morning, Andrea Mitchell tried to defend Mrs. Clinton on MSNBC. Mika Brzezinski said, &#8216;This is one of these things that happens on a campaign trail, right, these kinds of stories. This is bad timing, though, right?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>MITCHELL: Bad timing, bad staffing, and it\u2019s the kind of thing where, uh, if a story is too good to be true, it probably isn\u2019t true &#8212; and where candidates, where presidents, where politicians have to be very, very careful about the way these stories become embroidered. You know, I covered Ronald Reagan for eight years, and he used to tell a story and retell a story, and before long he thought it was true, and he had persuaded himself at one point that he had helped liberate people from concentration camps, and, you know, it\u2019s something that he had seen in a movie, and it had become part of his narrative. And people kind of overlooked that at &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, now, isn\u2019t&#8230;?<\/p>\n<p>MITCHELL: &#8212; at times.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, Andrea. Isn\u2019t this clever to now compare Hillary Clinton to Ronald Reagan and his stories? Ronald Reagan\u2019s stories sought to uplift people, Andrea, not turn \u2019em into helpless victims. This is all part of the template: &#8216;Reagan lied. He made things up. He told things that weren\u2019t true and so forth.\u2019 It\u2019s just more liberal template BS here, in an attempt here to cover what Hillary Clinton did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: &#8216;During the last five weeks, Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton\u2019 has been lying through her teeth, &#8216;telling a story about a poor woman who was indigent,\u2019 who had no health care and basically was homeless, who was pregnant, and went to the hospital.
