Did Willard Romney Really Say If You're Having A Heart Attack You Can Go To A Clinic?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

That's almost as dumb as him saying you can open a window on a jet flying at an altitude of 25,000 feet at 500 miles per hour....

1. Mitt Romney...

The gift that keeps on giving...to Democrats

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. That's What He Said On 60 Minutes

If somebody's having a heart attack I hope whoever is with him or her is calling 911 and praying and not driving the heart attack victim to a clinic.

3. Initiate full spectrum facepalm...

I'm really having trouble figuring out how mittens made his money.

From his comments, there HAS to be somebody making the money for him, and he just looks pretty.

4. As usual, not a clue

The Romney's probably have a private doctor on retainer who comes to them or maybe a private helicopter if they need to be rushed anywhere....
Again, just another example of the Romney's not knowing what the average person has to go through

7. A concierge doctor..........only for the richest of the rich.

5. he said you can go to the emergency room. that's your healthcare.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. he said you can go to the emergency room

or a clinic which in the case of a heart attack is preposterous.

[spanone]

9. he's preposterous...

Romney: Different, again, different states have different ways of doing that. Some provide that care through clinics. Some provide the care through emergency rooms.

8. I've lost count....

..of the number of times I have argued with those who insist "well they can just go to the emergency room" that that is not health care, it's emergency care.

10. And then? Cath lab -> CICU for a 48-72 hour stay.

And who pays for that?

Gosh, wouldn't it have been more COST EFFICIENT to get the patient risk controlled, on a statin and anti-hypertensives before racking up the expensive hospital stay, Mr. Businessman?

[democrat_patriot]

11. You can call an ambulance.

No shit, but who pays the bills Romney?

[MineralMan]

12. Just tell them to send the bill to Romney.

He'll be happy to pay it, I'm sure.

13. How would he know - do you think he's ever been in a "clinic"?
