(2005-11-01) — Responding to the Bush administration’s $7.1 billion plan
to address a potential avian flu pandemic among humans, Sen. Hillary Clinton,
D-NY, today held a news conference to draw attention to the millions of young
chickens who lack government-managed health care.
“The Bush administration has failed to implement a national poultry health
care program, and the consequences have come home to roost,” said Sen.
Clinton, a noted health policy expert. “Each year, more than 200 million
baby American chickens come into this world without federally-managed
health insurance, not to mention the turkeys, ducks, geese and guinea hens.”
“The bird flu pandemic just highlights the fact that there are really
two Americas,” she said. “In the first America, insured humans schedule
visits at the doctor’s office. But in the second America, fuzzy little
chickens hopelessly wait in long lines for basic health care that
should be their birthright.”
A White House spokesman said President George Bush has a busy agenda,
but always welcomes constructive proposals from lawmakers.
“The president’s plate is pretty full right now,” said the unnamed
spokesman, “But when it comes to healthy poultry, he’s eager to see
what Sen. Clinton would bring to the table.”
