Another Shrillary lie: National Guardsmen had no health care before her efforts

Borrowing a page from her hubby’s former veep who claimed to have created the Internet, Her Highness lays down this whopper (from FactCheck):

Clinton says, “You would think that … National Guard and Reserve … would have had health insurance. But they didn’t.”

That’s not exactly true. First of all, long before Clinton became a senator, members of the National Guard and Reserve were covered  by federal health insurance while on active duty and for a period thereafter. So were their dependents. As for those not on active duty, four out of five were covered by health insurance through their civilian employers, their spouse or some other source, according to a 2000 survey by the Department of Defense.

It is certainly true that Clinton was among those pushing to expand and improve federal coverage for reservists while they’re not on active duty. But it’s just wrong to say the National Guard and Reserve didn’t have health insurance, because the large majority did.

What a shameless b#tch she is!  Her being a “world-class genius” and all, she appears to have brilliantly figured out a plan to claim credit for something she was nowhere near.  She must still be stuck in her old habit of just expecting her words to go unchallenged.  They may go unchallenged in the MSM, but not in the new media.
