From the News Sentinel:

Dr. Tom Hayhurst former and future candidate for Congress, 3rd District

“I like the president’s emphasis on the character of our country. I went to medical school because I wanted to take care of people when they get sick. We have millions of people going bankrupt, and the death rate from breast cancer is greater if people don’t have health insurance. We need to somehow make sure all people have health care. The president laid out his plan. In many ways it was rational. He said he was willing to talk to legislators on both sides of the aisle. That’s very good. I hope they take that to heart and don’t keep saying no to any plan that may come along.”

From a January 2007 News Sentinel article:

Hayhurst, who unsuccessfully ran against Republican Mark Souder to represent the state’s 3rd District in Congress, said he was spread thin during the campaign and wasn’t able to spend the time with his grandchildren he wanted. Hayhurst, a retired pulmonologist, plans to continue to volunteer at two free health clinics and is looking into the possibility of spending time as a physician overseas.

What Hayhurst failed to tell them at the time of this interview we reported here.

Retired Doctor Tom Hayhurst toils 8 hours a month volunteering at the Tuberculosis Clinic. His reward? $1325 per month according to the Allen County Auditor’s Office Vendor Payment Listing from the News Sentinel’s 10/16/2006 edition.

Sorry Doc, that’s not volunteering, that’s government subsidized healthcare. Maybe you should have went to China with Henry, and stayed.
