"During my last night’s shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with a shiny new gold tooth, multiple elaborate tattoos, a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and a new cellular telephone.
Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status: Medicaid.
She smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has money to buy beer. And our President expects me to pay for this woman’s health care?"

Of course, I will take his one example and raise him a 800.
"A majority of those that attended the clinic suffered from chronic conditions, said Kimberly Garner, a family medicine physician in North Little Rock who served as the event's medical director. The most striking thing to Dr. Garner was that many of the people who showed up at the clinic were working steady jobs -- they just couldn't afford health insurance."
The ER problem is one of the many problems with the current HC system. Everyone who does not have insurance use the ER services, and to treat a patient at ER costs 10 times more than the ones who are treated at the doctors clinics, and the cost is directed to the tax-payer, and the patients who have insirance.

By the way, you can buy gold teeth at flee markets for next to nothing, prisoners in jails have elaborate tattoos that cost a pack of cigarettes, you can buy "expensive" sneakers for less than $49.00 at Bare Foot Shoes, or DSW, and anybody can get a new cell phone, free, just by signing up.

I'm not impressed.
That's the problem with these morons -- they don't bother to think, only to judge based on zero facts and 100% hate and anger.
I, too, hope I'm never treated by a doctor like that.
