Clinton: More must be done to improve health coverage for all
RALEIGH, N.C. Former President Clinton says more Americans need to have the kind of access to health care he does. Speaking at a health care access forum in Raleigh, North Carolina, Clinton contrasted his own recent medical care with that received by less-fortunate Americans.
In September, Clinton underwent quadruple bypass surgery.
He said he "never blinked" because knew his providers "would get paid."
He said fewer companies are providing adequate health coverage to employees and noted that the number of uninsured people has risen in recent years.
Clinton's appearance came during the two-day Emerging Issues Forum, founded by former governor and Clinton confidant Jim Hunt.
