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

Do you SERIOUSLY believe he meant those gasping for breath and having a severe asthma attack should be turned away from the emergency room??

"Without seeing the rest of the discussion, here is what I think he's trying to say:"

Since this was obviously traumatic for you, can you try to step back and see that Obama was not saying to let kids with asthma die, that they shouldn't ever go to a hospital?

Treatment 20 yrs ago and treatment now are two different things.

"I think the point of the statement is that children should have access to good asthma management so that they don't end up in the hospital."

You are correct babies can not use inhalers that is why portable nebulizers are available to them.

I'm sorry but if you're going to go by "he said what he said" and leave no room for expanding on what his comments actually meant then I'm going to have to believe that troops can in fact go right into teaching without a certification b/c McCain said so during the last debate.


For goodness sake, it has been pointed out several times that Obama has a daughter with asthma. I think he understands and is sensitive to the issue.
