Clinton: GOP promotes fear on health care
Posted 4m ago

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton says Republicans have turned to terrifying people in the debate over overhauling the health care system because the Republican Party has no political clout to fight it.
Clinton was president when the Democrats made their last major effort to change the health care system. The big difference now, Clinton says, is that Democrats have a solid majority in the Senate as well as control of the House.

The former president called "crazy" the charges that promoting living wills and other end-of-life planning is somehow promoting death.

Clinton spoke Thursday night in Pittsburgh at the opening session of the Netroots Nation convention, a gathering of politically progressive bloggers and other online activists.
