SOUTH BEND — Chelsea Clinton returned to South Bend Friday to visit a health clinic on the city's west side.

Clinton spoke to workers and patients at the Sister Maura Brannick Health Center. Clinton was there to experience how the free clinic operates. The clinic only serves patients who do not have any medical coverage.

Concerns among workers ranged from the current nursing and physician shortage in the medical industry to the quality of patient care.

Clinical Assistant Anne-Marie Rick asked Clinton about possible reimbursements for working with Medicaid and Medicare patients.

“I’m really concerned about what the future of medicine is going to look like," she said. "There’s already a physician shortage." Rick will enter medical school in the fall.

Hillary Clinton's universal health care plan aims to make care more attainable.

I disagree, Todd. I think the earthquake is a punishment for people who voted for someone who associate himself with a pastor who propagate hatred. To B.Hussein Osama this is my test: "Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are."

The clinic does good work, helping folks without health insurance. Miss Clinton came and saw how it operates. She was polite, and friendly, as she always is. Maybe a little good publicity will help the clinic help more Hoosiers who need it. She probably did not sway any voters, but her presence does show positively on her parents, and herself. I hope she enjoyed the day in South Bend,Indiana....and the earthquake was not lucifer trying to get the Clintons...Hillary'd be running the place.
