Will I get this with Hillary-care?

I had a medical procedure last week that was a unique experience.

For the procedure I had to recline on an elevated lounge to have an IV inserted.
The male technician found a vein, tied it off and had me clench my fist. As he firmly grasped my arm, preparing to stick the needle, he moved slightly forward so that my knuckles pressed into him below his waist.

"Huh, what is that touching my hand?" I thought to myself. "Hurry up and stick that vein."

"You are going to feel a slight prick now," he says.

I certainly did.
