Betsy McCaughey: Possible pay-or-play. Got fired from her medical device maker board. Started the death panel lie. And now, under a headline from 1997 reading "McCaughey Ross Plans to Switch to Democrats," this:

She complained that she was forced to turn to Democrats in the Legislature when Republicans rebuffed her efforts to expand pre-kindergarten programs in the state and to restrict the ability of health maintenance organizations to refuse to pay for experimental cancer treatments.

”’It showed me which party puts patients ahead of politics and campaign contributions,” she said. ”It’s the Democratic Party.”

Just to underscore her moral bankruptcy.
