Betsy McCaughey Resigns From Cantel Medical Because Of Jon Stewart?

With no indication that last nights appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Betsy McCaughey gas resigned her position from Cantel Medical. Cantel makes dialysis machine and other medical devices.

A release from Cantel said:

"announced that on August 20, 2009 it received a letter of resignation from Ms. Elizabeth McCaughey as a director of the Company. Ms. McCaughey, who had served as a director since 2005, stated that she was resigning to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest during the national debate over healthcare reform."

I can't believe that she would resign because of the possible appearance of conflict of interest. It seems that they asked her to leave. Sphere: Related Content

Watch Jon Stewart With Betsy McCaughey - Stewart Has The Patience Of A Saint

Jon Stewart at The Daily Show does a fine job of staying ahead of McCaughey. Her arguments are not very robust and neither are Stewart's but he is a comedian. His arguments are more than sufficient to handle McCaughey's fear based misrepresentations.

McCaughey does come off as awfully condescending. Throwing out that she has a Phd and saying about Stewart, "Isn't he cute" as he is making his point (I think she did this twice. Perhap one time she called him funny not cute).

McCaughey sounds very disingenuous and came across as a paranoid. Stewart is an incredibly patient man.

You can read the McCaughey "plan" to cover the uninsured it is not very clear or detailed. as Stewart points out the math doesn't quite work out.
