Hillary Clinton Gets 'Superhero' Award
Hillary Clinton, Healthcare Superhero? That's the latest honor bestowed on the top Democrat by the Community Health Care Association of New York State, which presented her Friday with the 2006 "Distinguished Community Health Superhero” Award on behalf of the National Association of Community Health Centers. In a statement posted to her official Senate web site, Ms. Clinton gratefully acknowledged her new superhero status. "It was an honor to receive the Superhero Award from the representatives of New York’s community health centers and I was especially grateful for the opportunity to thank them personally for the work that they do every day,” the former first lady said.

"They are the safety net of health care for our state and our country and are continually asked to deliver quality care with limited resources," she said. "I am proud to support them and will keep fighting to ensure they have the funding they need to continue their incredible and invaluable work.” Though it wasn't readily apparent what Mrs. Clinton did to merit the Superhero award, Elizabeth Swain, President and CEO of the Community Health Care Association, gushed, "Senator Clinton’s commitment to promoting and providing access to health care for everyone is clear." "She has an understanding of the issue that is deeper and more strongly felt than most," Swain insisted.
