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??"

"sick piece of work he is" Come on let's be fair here. I think you are taking this more personal then need be.


Everybody knows that it makes no sense, and, you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma, they end up taking up a hospital bed.


What if he said ear infections? Would you still be outraged? I know somebody who lost their hearing in an ear due to an ear infection would I have the right to be outraged?? I would like to see how much money is wasted

"It is a fact that emergency room beds and resources are taken up by people who aren't being seen in a regular physician's office or a quick care.

Asthma is a treatable condition! There may not be a cure but it is treatable.

I believe Obama was just trying to point out, that if people had health care, they wouldn't be forced to go to a hospital for something that could be treated by a doctor.


A few years ago, I had appendicitis. I had to wait 4 hours to be seen at the ER. The place was busy with people who had sore throats and coughs.
