Senator Clinton said that the woman has a third time in an ambulance. And they work hard to stabilize, and she lost her baby. Airlifted While Columbus for the medical center, and for 15 days, she tries to Save their lives, and she died. ”

But on April 3, The Washington Post the name of the woman, Trina Bachtel, 35, the Middle Port, Ohio, died last August. The Daily Sentinel, published a paper near Pomeroy, Ohio, Bachtel cited the name of the next day.
With the name of the patient in public local and national officials O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio, worried about their placement would be wrong accused. Bachtel was indeed treated in August on O’Bleness, where her baby was stillborn. But the treatment was refused Bachtel never there, and she had herself of health insurance, officials told the New York Times published a story Saturday.
“We court the Clinton campaign, immediately, that history repeating,” Rick Castrop, Chief Executive Officer of the O’Bleness health system, “said the Times.

“Candidates are told stories of people all the time, and it is common for candidates to retell these stories,” said Monday the spokesman of the campaign Elleithee. “In this case, we tried, but no has been unable to fully vet the story.
THE FACTS:
Clinton said, she heard the story of deputy sheriff Meigs County Bryan Holman during a visit on Pomeroy before March 4 primary Ohio.
In a March 26th telephone interview with The Associated Press, Holman said he had told the story of Bill Clinton is essentially the same way, it was dererzählens in his speech. He said he knew the story Bachtel only second-hand, and some details were missing.
The AP then spoke with Bachtel’s aunt, Susie Casto of the Middle port, which contributed to the woman. She said, Bachtel, worked at a salon pizza, in fact, health insurance, if she and her baby died.
But at an earlier date, “said Casto, Bachtel lacked health insurance and ran to deal with unpaid bills, when, in a clinic near their home in Middleport. When she returned, though, for the treatment of pregnancy, the clinic requires $ 100 per visit, for the retirement of debt, “said Casto. Bachtel, because it could not happen taxes and it has been difficult to travel, her aunt said she received treatment moved.
Bachtel finally went to O’Bleness, about 30 miles north of the attention.
Casto declined, clinics and hospitals, and said she felt medical professionals, she was able to save all Bachtel and her unborn child.
Pomeroy has about 2000 residents and two clinics. One thing is O’Bleness with other Holzer, the clinic, part of a chain of production, establishment of nine.
O’Bleness Health System-floor Monday Lynn Anastos said Bachtel has been a patient does not respond to its establishment Pomeroy, and “they would not have to be in very close to the lack of means of payment,” if she had previously treatment process.
Holzer associate director, Jim Blevins said his company has no trace of Bachtel, a patient in the past five years. About half of patients are Holzer “Charity cases,” he said, and that the company tries to pay calendar with those lying on their bills.
In some cases, “said Blevins, Holzer clinics place” restrictions on credit, patients felt able, but not willing, to pay their bills. This is not for patients must be immediate or emergency, at he said.
Clinton, the public says that a woman in Ohio lacked insurance in seeking help for their difficulties pregnancy.
