Bill Clinton Has Coronary Artery Procedure!

Bill Clinton the former President was rushed to the hospital Thursday after experiencing pains in his chest.  Doctors did surgery placing two stents in his coronary artery, a close source adviser, Douglas Band, said Clinton was doing well after undergoing the procedure at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Bill Clinton had quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 to open four blocked arteries and has been doing well since then until now.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, United States Secretary of State met with President Obama as scheduled on Thursday and then rushed to the hospital to be by her husband’s bedside with their daughter Chelsea.

The next Morning Bill Clinton left the New York Hospital and went home to Chappaqua about 45 minutes North of New York City, three SUV’s with tinted windows pulled through the gates of his home in Chappaqua Friday Morning at 7:45 a.m..

Douglas Band said in a statement that Bill Clinton left New York Presbyterian Hospital in excellent health and he looks forward in the days ahead to getting back to work at his Foundation helping Haiti with recovery efforts and raising relief funds.

Cardiologist Allan Schwartz said he could be back at work by Monday, he had a clogged heart artery opened after suffering discomfort in the chest, he had chest pains and he had a medical procedure, two stents, a tiny mesh were placed inside the artery and this procedure is quite common for people with severe heart disease.  Bill Clinton had quadruple bypass surgery at New York Presbyterian Hospital more than five years ago.

Handicap people are losing their disability checks at the Yonkers casino, and the MTA is busing them there from all over the Metro Area.  The Westchester News.Com broke the story and now it hit the networks and airwaves:

NYC Transit began taking the disabled to Yonkers’ casino last year after the federal government said it had to cross into Westchester County, officials say.

For years, NYC Transit only provided trips to the disabled within the five boroughs.

The federal Transit Administration two years ago said the Americans with Disabilities Act required that Access-A-Ride take passengers just over the Bronx border into a swath of Westchester, MTA spokesman Jeremy Soffin said.

The Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway is near the Woodlawn and Wakefield sections of the Bronx.

I find this shocking. Everything is wrong with such an arrangement.

1) Access-A-Ride is supposed to be a substitute for the regular bus and subway for those whose disabilities prevent them from using it. Since when did NYCT buses and subway start going to Yonkers?

2) At a cost of $66 per person per ride, the Access-A-Ride service is a massive loss-making enterprise that survives only because it would be political suicide to argue for it to be cut. You would think that the disabled would keep this in mind and use the service for essential trips, such as medical appointments, groceries and, for children, going to school (assuming that no alternative, such as ADA-compliant buses, exist). Instead, people rich enough to gamble away half their money are using it to ride to casinos to do precisely that, while the ordinary taxpayer pays the $63.75 that is not covered by a MetroCard swipe. If the riders have so much disposable income, they should take a taxi or livery cab instead.

3) This frivolous use of the service keeps vehicles occupied and unable to serve those with a more debilitating condition or those needing to make emergency trips.

4) The $450 million yearly Access-A-Ride bill keeps the  from improving other services (e.g. bus rapid transit, subway station rehabs etc), that might provide alternatives to disabled people.

Department Of Labor Meltdown

They’re blowing off people who are filing claims, these people lost their jobs and are laid off, these are unemployed Americans who are being ignored.  On the phone, New York State has an animated phone robot sending people on a wild goose chase, they pawn them off, back and forth to each other, the website tells you to call the New York State Department Of Labor.  When they call they get an animated phone robot.  They tell them to go to the website, but, not everyone knows how to use a computer. It takes about 3 days to get through to a real person and they pass you onto an animated robot, and it starts all over again, and when you call back all phone lines are busy and then another animated phone robot is saying  “Call Back Later.”

This explosive full story is coming soon!
