Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell was NBC’s Meet The Press today, where he argued that their aren’t really 47 million Americans without healthcare.

He said that the people who didn't have insurance could just go to the emergency room.. Is he not aware that a lot of hospitals don't see people without insurance, and as it was stated in the article, they don't get the same level of treatment as people who do.

Now, i was in the emergency room a couple of years ago, and i have 2 forms of insurance and i wasn't treated right, SO i know how they would treat someone who didn't have insurance.
Mitch McConnell is a heartless oaf, and doesn't have the sense that God gave a goose!-

Waiting times in our hospital ERs are outragous. I'm not blaming the hospitals, because they're don't have the resources to deal with the amount of traffic they get. But anyone who says that the system we have now is sufficient is either on the take or ill imformed.

By the way, why do the same people who demand we keep throwing more money at the military (which is government run) and who claim that WWII (when the government took over the economy) was what got us out of the depression, keep insisting that the government can't efficiently run anything?

Everyone gets care in American ERs. That is where they go when an infection that could have been treated with a $4 prescription which they could not see a doctor for becomes a several thousand dollar hospital stay. We pay for it in the end either way so any republican bitches want to tell me how we save money by paying several grand for something a $4 dollar bottle of antibiotics could have solved a month ago? I didn't think so.

The first anti American president was Reagan then of course Bush(GWB). Both destroyed our economies so the rich military complex could make more money so people being sick do not get quality care, but Halliburton and etal can make billions. Anybody for this type of government is truly anti American. Like you and 99% of all republicans.

Most of the comments on this thread leads to a conclusion that medical costs in the US are astronomically too high and the only one's benefiting from those high costs are the insurance companies, the medical and drug industry and the legislators they support.
