romney says going to the emergency room is free.

[DesertFlower]

i know a guy who went to the emergency room for a pain in his side. he was admitted and had emergency gall bladder surgery. he didn't have health insurance. the hospital sent him a bill for $20,000.

this is how this guy is starting his career -- 20,000 in debt.

1. Who is paying the bill if it is 'free'

yes the government

[DesertFlower]

3. he did say it's socialism.

i'll tell that to my friend who's trying to pay off his bill.

2. I fell off a ladder and shattered my leg. My trip to the "free" ER ended in bills for over $50,000

4. romney is so "out of touch" with

the real world.

[Raine]

5. He knows absolutely nothing about how this country functions, putting him

in charge of it would be totaly insanity.

[Ilsa]

6. "But they have to take you!" my friend said.

Actually, they can "treat and street" you, I told her, guaranteeing you'll need to return the next day, or whenever the root of the problem flares up again.

7. Borrow money from your parents to pay for school - go to the ER when you're sick

Of course.

8. Romney says he doesn't care about the hospital administrator vote

Can someone tell me exactly who he wants to vote for him? There aren't that many Mormons and there aren't that many millionaires.

13. Maybe he's counting on the posthumously baptized vote?

[jmowreader]

14. Dead people only vote for Democrats

So...naah, I don't think so.

9. Took me a year to pay off an ER bill

and I HAVE insurance.

12. What's really crazy is Romney acting like he didn't pass Romneycare!

Eliminating the wastefulness and unfairness of the uninsured going to the ER was one of the main reasons behind his OWN legislation! It's like he's had a lobotomy.
