Fresh on the heels of her false sniper story, Hillary Clinton has been caught telling another made up story. Repeatedly over the last month Clinton has told the story of a pregnant woman named Trina Bechtel who was denied treatment at an Ohio hospital because she did not have $100 the hospital demanded to treat her.
The hospital says that story is totally false and not only is Trina Bechtel very much alive, but she also had health insurance!!
Clinton had told her audiences the woman, Trina Bechtel, returned to the hospital days later with severe complications. She says the woman and her baby died after being taken to another hospital for specialized care.
The story was cited by Clinton as evidence of the need for universal healthcare.
The hospital — O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio, which is not named in the story — has demanded Clinton stop telling the story, claiming it is inaccurate.
The hospital said Bechtel was being treated at an affiliated practice prior to her complications, and she did have insurance, Fox News reported.
It’s absolutely incredible that Hillary Clinton continues to be caught literally inventing elaborate stories out of thin air, but largely gets a pass from the left-wing media. How can people honestly believe that a person who constantly tells lies on the campaign trail is fit to be President?
Let me guess, she misspoke? She meant to say the woman was alive and had health insurance but it just came out wrong. Repeatedly…over and over again.

UPDATE:
In the interest of fairness it should be noted that unlike the sniper fire story, Sen. Clinton didn’t make-up the hospital story but was merely repeating a story she heard second hand that turned out to be false. Click HERE to read a detailed explanation of how the story originated.
A big thanks goes out to Hot Joints reader Cliff for making us aware of this new information.
