I am beside myself with anger over the statement Obama made about treatable illnesses!

Now, it's true that I say that you are going to have to make sure that your child has health care, because children are relatively cheap to insure and we don't want them going to the emergency room for treatable illnesses like asthma.


Oh my, what an outrageous statement!


LOL!


Having spent a significant amount of time in emergency rooms in the past couple of years with my grandmother, father, and aunt, I can say with certainty that there are plenty of people who are using the ER for things that should be handled in a doctor's office or a quick care.

I think it should be pointed out that Obama's daughter Malia suffers from asthma.

I'm happy for you and your kids and that you are able to control it.

My brother DID see a doctor regularly, we always had insurance while growing up, both my parents worked and had insurance.

>>>On top of those indications, he also said in one of the debates that he would send our troops to Darfur and other places in Kenya to "peace keep".
