Kline Confronted For Refusing To Hold Town Hall!!!

Your right, and that care is already paid for (though no one wants us to know that). That's why when I was in the hospital my insulin was $80 a unit, when I can buy it myself for $40 to $60 per 1000 units.

I'm not judging whether the costs are good or bad. I'm glad I can walk into an ER and not be denied treatment due to the lack of money.

And yes, I realize it's law.

Enjoy the fair.. take the blue pill.. watch MSNBC, Katie Couric and then listen to NPR. Doesn't the steak taste better inside the Matrix??

Rush is the pill popper, remember? ... I don't know why Obama et al. are so vague when they try to engage debate about this, when the fundamentals of this are so simple. YOU ARE ALREADY PAYING FOR THIS. Doctors take a Hippocratic Oath to provide medical care. When a poor person goes to the emergency room because of a common ailment that has compounded because of lack of basic treatment, THEY GET EMERGENCY SERVICE. EMERGENCY SERVICE IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. Healthcare reform is an economic issue.

[Honestinwilkesbarre]

Doctors no longer take the Hippocratic Oath, and those that do take a highly modified version. Some even write their own "oath".

I read a little about modernized oaths when I had to look up the spelling of "hippocratic" in order to type it above. It is an interesting fact, as you put it, though. Thank you. But the fact I am pointing out, which still stands, is that emergency rooms intend to service all those in need of emergency service, regardless of ability to pay. I frequently visit local emergency rooms with my work, and I have NEVER been to one which did not have a sign on the wall clearly stating this.
