Mitt Romney in 60-Minutes Interview: Need healthcare? Go to the ER.

Pelley asked Romney the following: "Does the government have a responsibility to provide healthcare to the 50 million Americans who don't have it today?"

Romney's answer:

"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."

interesting he used "apartment" vs "house" or "home".

Apartment dwellers = uninsured

Apartment Dwellers = The Other

A friend pointed out the other day -

By defining THE OTHER, like Hitler, Romney is setting up the FINAL SOLUTION.

...he can see his own tonsils!

What an IGNORANT pile of SHIT!!! How does he think people without his means live??!? When my sister's health insurance refused to pay for medicine she needed for her cancer treatment, she was supposed to just go to the ER?? And that helps her, exactly how, Mr. Rmoney??

Willard, you are just one f*cked-up ignorant piece of work! So is your running mate. So is your party. I hope you all go down in flames and burn for eternity!

Just totally gutless and without principles.

He can't possibly believe what he said, but he says it anyway, probably because that's what he was told to say.

completely the opposite. Argued for insurance, so folks wouldn't be going to the ER's and paying up the wazoo.
