Hillary Clinton Wears White Pantsuit to Trump’s Inauguration – Yahoo Autos

While the world is fixated on President Trump and his family, Hillary Clinton arrived at the Capitol wearing a white you guessed it pantsuit.

Similar to the ivory Ralph Lauren pantsuit Clinton wore to the Democratic National Convention and to the third presidential debate, Fridays Ralph Lauren suit with cashmere cream coat is a fitting choice for the candidate whose platform has elevated womens rights (and whose supporters are #StillWithHer).

White has been the color (rather, the lack thereof) of choice for women standing up for their rights throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, a nod to the suffragist movement in which women fought for the right to vote. Wearing white, as Yahoo Style has noted before, was an act of defiance during suffragist protests,most likely to claim a color so closely associated with purity, weddings, and youthfulness.

Twitter users immediately reacted to Clintons outfit, praising her for her hat-trick ensemble.

While Clintons campaign for the White House is over, thefight she helped lead forwomens rights clearly is not. On Election Day, voters wore white to the polls, and they very well may wear it again to march across the world. The absence of color is bold, indeed.

Hillary Clinton and Ivanka Trump Both Choose White Pantsuits for Inauguration Day – Us Weekly

Twinning? Hillary Clinton and Ivanka Trump both wore white pantsuits to the inauguration of the 45th president, Ivanka's father Donald Trump, on Friday, January 20, in Washington, D.C.

The Democratic presidential nominee and former secretary of state, 69, wore a buttoned-up white suit, topped with a matching long coat with oversized accent pockets. She accessorized the look with a beige clutch and booties.

Ivanka, 35, meanwhile, chose her own snow-hued separates for the ceremony, though her Oscar de la Renta set featured an asymmetrical coat with a ruffled hemline. Ivanka's younger half-sister, Tiffany Trump, also chose white for the big day.

Clinton's ensemble was surely no surprise to those who follow her style. The former senator chose white when she accepted her nomination at the Democratic National Convention in July, and again for the third and final presidential debate in October. The color was not only a clean choice, but also, seemingly, a nod to the suffragette movement that helped bring her to that place in history.

Inspired, many Clinton supporters wore white to the polls in November with the hope of electing the United States' first female president.

Which made it all the more surprising to see the Trump ladies in white, too. Still, it was a patriotic choice for the swearing-in ceremony and the parade that followed.

George B. Reed Jr.: Health care – Right or privilege? – Northwest Georgia News

If Obamacare is repealed we will again be the only developed country without national health care. The Republicans propose to pay for low-income families health insurance with their usual tax cuts and "medical savings plans," whatever those are. But tell me any place or time that has ever worked.

In the spring of 1993 my wife and I took a two-week vacation to Canada and toured British Columbia and Alberta. By coincidence this was at the very same time Hillary Clinton was conducting congressional hearings on her national health care proposal. Unfortunately, Hillarys effort tried to please everybody, wound up pleasing nobody and ultimately failed. During the hearings Republican opponents summoned Canadian witnesses who testified to the weaknesses in their own public health care system

At that time I had an employer-paid policy and had really thought very little about national health care. But I was curious about how Canadians really felt about the quality and responsiveness of their single-payer, independent-provider system. I questioned people in grocery stores, pharmacies, in lines at the bank, on tour boats, at the zoo and at the laundromat. Amazingly, I heard not one negative comment, not one. Although they reported some waiting times for elective surgery (I once waited seven weeks for an elective TURP procedure in Chattanooga), medical emergencies were handled on a timely basis.

When I asked about the reported exodus of Canadian doctors to the U.S., I learned that Canada had a surplus of medical personnel whereas the U.S. had an increasing shortage, particularly of primary care physicians and dentists. Why? Instead of a students qualifications, a U.S. medical education can depend on the size of the parents bank account or students willingness to mortgage their futures.

Despite the fact that we spend almost twice as much on health care as any other nation, we get comparatively poor value for our money. The World Health Organization ranks the U.S. an embarrassing 31st in health care performance among developed nations in terms of infant mortality, life expectancy, preventable deaths, overall access and availability, etc. Of course conservatives explain away these deficiencies and attack WHOs competency and legitimacy. But the fact remains that our health care inadequacies are real and are a disgrace for the worlds wealthiest nation.

An economic consideration: when the cost of employer-paid health insurance is added it makes our exports less competitive. Foreign products do not include the cost of health insurance. General Motors reports they spend more per car on health insurance than on steel.

A major contributor to our bloated health care costs is the health insurance industry itself. It is the worlds most costly, wasteful and absurdly bureaucratic. These companies spend over 30% of each premium dollar on administration, advertising, lobbying and political campaign contributions. Public programs like Medicare, Medicaid and the VA are administered for a tiny fraction of what profit-driven systems spend.

No, health care is prescribed in neither the U. S. Constitution nor the Bible. But I believe it is supported by the spirit of our law and our religion. Along with food, water and shelter, health care is a basic human need, not a privilege, luxury or marketable commodity.

Bill and Hillary Clinton Spotted at Inauguration Day – The Epoch Times

Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton were spotted at President Donald Trumps inauguration on Friday.

This is not an easy day for anyone that supported her or believes in progressive values, let alone her, a longtime aide told People magazine about her thinking.

But she did it, because shes Hillary Clinton, and shes there for all the right reasons, honoring democracy, and representing the values she ran on, the person said.

Hillary Clinton wrote on Twitter that shes attending the swearing-in ceremony.

Im here today to honor our democracy & its enduring values, she said on Twitter. I will never stop believing in our country & its future.

And in a concession speech, Clinton said, I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans.
