Clinton Saves on Health Care By Not Paying Bills


March 31st, 2008

Politico reported today that the Clinton campaign has been neglecting the health care payments for its entire staff.

the unpaid bills to Aetna were at least two months old, according to FEC filings.

They show the campaign ended last year owing Aetna more than $213,000 for “employee benefits.”

During the first two months of the year, the campaign did not pay down any of that debt. In fact, it accrued another $16,000 in unpaid bills last month, and it finished the month owing Aetna $229,000.

Yesterday it was reported by Politico that the Clinton campaign has a habit of not paying vendors so they could instead buy more advertising. Today’s news seems utterly dumbfounding considering Clinton’s constant charge against corporations who do not provide adequet benefits for their employees and her use of Universal Health Care as a central issue to her campaign. An issue on which she claims unparalleled expertise.
