Mitt Romney, On 60 Minutes, Cites Emergency Room As Health Care Option For Uninsured

"If someone has a heart attack, they don't sit in their apartment and die. We pick them up in an ambulance, and take them to the hospital, and give them care."

1. political malpractice

So, now we are back to the old "let them use the emergency room" solution.
Is there an equivalent in politics to medical malpractice?

Mr. Romney is an idiot. What is he thinking? What are his campaign staff thinking?

I always assumed that Mr. Romney was disinterested and unengaged.

But not stupid.

I was wrong.

Mr. Romney is stupid.

3. I can't believe Romney or any other Republican is still using that line.

The "You can always go to the emergency room!" talking point is way past its sell-by date.

2. I remember when I was about 12 years old

I was playing with my dads pocket knife and I accidentally sliced my hand open. It was so bad it was spurting blood everywhere and there were things coming out of my hand I didn't even know could be in a human hand before. My parents took me to the Emergency Room and they made us wait just a little over 7 hours before they saw me and stitched up my hand. I bled all over the ER and everything. My hand actually stopped bleeding after awhile because the handkerchief my dad gave me to wrap around my hand got sucked into the gaping hole and plugged the leak. Then I see this! I wish Rmoney or one of his loved ones had to sit in a damn ER bleeding all over the place with people watching like you were a freaking circus animal or something but oh hell no. He would be stitched up in the matter of seconds and they would probably pay him for the privilege of serving him. This man makes me sick!

4. Yeah, and then "we" send them

a bill for $100,000.

He's an idiot.

5. '' ... in their apartment ... ''

Apparently he must think that all the people that live in houses have insurance, and it is only the folks in 'apartments' that do not.

6. Wasn't there a woman that died in the ER waiting room

This was all over the news a few months back. I think she had been waiting for hours and finally laid down on the floor and passed away. This man is so out of touch it is incredible.
