And I can't wait to see what small business does when they are required to provide healthcare to employees....when they can't afford to do it today. Oh - and I can carry my current plan to my next employer if I so choose " so we've reviewed your skillset and are ready to offer you a ..... oh wait...WE can't afford your insurance, sorry, have a nice day." NOW how do I carry this wonderful plan through unemployment? I WANT the drugs this man takes to see this rosy world of his. Ain't possible people.

quade 4 #8 October 8, 2008 My guess is, he was grasping at straws while under pressure like people on a game show, nothing immediately came to mind except that and just picked the wrong ailment. It's clear he's never been a victim of and asthma attack. Yes, this was a major gaff. Expect him to put out a large retraction and apology tomorrow if not earlier.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doc What he's trying to say and I think it's obvious is that we should all have regular care, rather than not have it and rely on emergency care when things get bad.

He's saying everyone should have healthcare so they can go to their regular doctor and get medication, etc. It came off as weird at first to me too, but when you think it thru it's merely his way of saying those w/o medical care use the emergency room as tehir regular care as their dying, rather than have preventative regular care.

I have obviously not seen the debate, but that's how i read the OPs quote. Anti Obamans will read into what he says to better suit their current judgment of him, same is true of McCainians. it saves then from thinking critically and helps self validation for their own choicesYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Coreece 190 #20 October 8, 2008 I felt it was pretty obvious that Obama was talking about "preventative maintenance" when it comes to health issues. I was blessed enough to have both an excellent pediatrician and insurance plan that was able to diagnose my asthma before it became a serious risk and was provided the tools necessary to deal with an attack without going to the ER. Perhaps it is those that harbor this deliberate unwillingness to understand the candidates statements who are "clueless."Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

drdive 0 #23 October 8, 2008 Oh no, I understood where he is coming from. He is CLUELESS. Spend a night with me treating people who can't breath through no fault of their own. Yes, i admit it is easy to take a gaff and blow it up out of proportion. But as Ron White says, "you can't fix stupid" Getting away from his stupid comment, there are lots of things I don't like about our health care system, I just don't want him being the one telling you and me how to fix them.

Sorry Lucky, but speaking from personal experience, you can treat it all you want and still have an attack so bad that you end up in the ER. Right, but you can perform preventative maintenance on it and TRY to curtail attacks via medication, sprays, etc. I think that's what he meant. Asthma is treatable, of course yo0u can still have attacks that require ER attention. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
