From the Washington Post.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Mitt
Romney pointing to emergency rooms as a form of health care for
people without insurance in an interview with 60 minutes:
"Well,
we do provide care for people who don't have insurance. 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. And different
states have different ways of providing for that care."
This is true. Hospitals will still attempt to bill the indigent and the uninsured.
But what about the elderly who must cut their medication pills in half because they can't pay for the full expense. What about the many other conditions that none of us think of becauses we have not had that kind experience with self or family.
Laws can't never cover all contingencies.
