But what she said was true!

What Hillary Said:

I'll tell you a quick story that I heard in Ohio when I was campaigning there. A deputy sheriff told me about a young woman who worked at the pizza parlor there and she worked for minimum wage, she didn't have any insurance. She got pregnant, went to the hospital - and i don't blame the hospital. The hospital said, 'We can't take any more charity care. You have to give us $100 before we can examine you.' she didn't have $100. Went back another time, they told her the same thing. [The woman returned a third time] in an ambulance. And they worked hard to stabilize her, and she lost her baby. Then they airlifted her to Columbus to the medical center, and for 15 days they tried to save her life, and she died.

And it's completely true. She was told a story about a girl who died. Of course, the facts of the story are not true; but the fact that she was TOLD a story is. So you see, it depends on what the definition of "true" is.

To their credit, the Clinton campaign has agreed to stop telling this story in their push for mandatory health care. Of course, it would have been much more credit-worthy had they taken the time to weigh the merits of the story before using it as an anecdote in support of one of her pet causes. But that would have been politically inconvenient.
