Clinton was the keynote speaker at Geisingers National Health Symposium, which brought together medical professionals from all over the country.

The former Democratic presidential nominee also discussed the opioid epidemic and health care for women and children. Clinton is disappointed Congress has not reauthorized funding for the CHIP program.
"There's got to be a better way of expressing, explaining, and convincing women and men to take some of these steps to get help for themselves and their families."
"We have about 250 people coming in from outside of Geisinger from 20 states, one from outside the country," said Nancy Lawton-Kluck, Geisinger chief philanthropy officer.
Instead of being just a speaker, Clinton and Geisinger president/CEO Dr. David Feinberg sat on stage and had a chat about health care. Clinton spent a lot of time talking about universal health care.
We should try to be figuring out how to cover everybody at an affordable cost and get better results, Clinton said.[/]

"Of all the people, she's probably had one of the careers in dedicating herself to health and health care," Lawton-Kluck said.

"It's a safety issue, it's a health issue, it's a human issue," Brazil said.
Instead of just speeches, the speakers have conversations with the invitation-only crowd to make it personal.
"The concept of bringing all of these folks together in the same room and having these conversations together," Dr. Strony said.

..intentionally degrading slander & stump speech one-liners, as soon as she begins speaking.
She diminishes them all to schoolyard bullies.
Not one of them could hold a candle to her intellect.
