Last weekend the Champaign County Healthcare Consumer’s hosted their annual benefit dinner during which they awarded the “Golden Bedpan” annual award. Award dinner guests donate money to vote on who wins the bedpan award. Here’s the description of the award:
The Golden Bedpan is a very special award. While the rest of the award recipients this evening set out to work to improve the lives of others and to advance social justice, and distinguished themselves in doing so, the Golden Bedpan was created to honor those who followed a different path. These trailblazers deserve a truly unique form of recognition.
The Health Care Consumers Board of Directors awards the Golden Bedpan to the individual, or group of individuals, corporation, or political body that has distinguished itself, above all others, during the preceding year by its attack on the health and welfare of the people of its community.
This year’s contestants were Rauner and Shkreli. Can you guess who won?
