The GOP's ER based healthcare plan
By Creature
If you want to boil down the position of Republicans on healthcare reform, this from Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, in response to a question about the uninsured, says it all: "Well, they don't go without health care, because they can just go to the emergency room."
And what about prevention, Mitch? What about follow-up? What about medicine? And, Mitch, who in the end is paying for that ER visit? That's right, all of us (dearly). The GOP's lack of seriousness and their inability to offer any practical solution is appalling. For the GOP to act we have to be off the cliff, in a ditch, and gasping for our last breath. Then, maybe, they'd reach out a hand, but only a gloved hand (just in case poor and middle-class are contagious).

Michael,
Thanks. I know our message board has been hit by the loons who think they can do a "Me too" post as their very first post with a link in their sig to some commercial site.
I hate those people.
