Mrs. Clinton appeared briefly in front of the hospital where her husband will undergo heart surgery tomorrow to reassure everyone that he is in good spirits and that both of them have complete confidence that he will weather the surgery and the recovery period and be returned to good health, with relative swiftness.

She also mentioned that it is an immense relief to know that her family's their ability to afford health insuance means that her husband will receive the best medical care, and that she looks forward to the day when all Americans can enjoy the reassurance of access to health insurance they can afford.

Even Chris Matthews was impressed, proclaiming her to be gracious, charming, and on message. Naturally, her recognition that she and her family enjoy an advantage in facing a major illness over a huge number of her fellow citizens, and that in a just society, affordable health insurance should be the right of every American could only be viewed by Matthews as fodder for her personal political ambition, Chris Matthews being unconcerned that anyone else might lack health insurance, as long as he and his family have it. What a crud.
