In a speech to the NAACP this past week, Mr. Romney promised to “eliminate every nonessential, expensive program I can find; and that includes Obamacare”.
what eye thynk: Just one short question for you, Mitt. When did health care become “nonessential”?
The last I heard, we are all human and even the healthiest among us will find himself in need of a doctor’s care at some point.
Do you think the family who is forced to choose between groceries or a doctor visit for their son thinks health care is “nonessential”? Do you think the lady next door who must choose between paying her electric bill or refilling her heart medication thinks health care is “nonessential”? What about a young man just starting out who suddenly finds himself facing a life threatening illness and who, in absence of his ACA health plan, would be denied care simply because he could not pay for it? Nonessential?
If your family has a catastrophic illness, I guess you can just tap into that Swiss bank account and pay for their care in cash; but for the rest of us, health care is a basic necessity. Your statement is incredibly callous and insensate and shows just how unaware you are of the realities of everyday life for those of us not on your Hampton VIP list.
Health care should not be a privilege allotted exclusively to the wealthy. It would be nice to see the concern you and your fellow conservatives exhibit for the unborn extended to include those of us already possessed of corporality.
And, by the way, the proper name is the “Affordable Care Act”. Please try to remember that.
Miss. You are right on the money. I don't think Mitt Romney had a clue when he was speaking at the convention that African-Americans don't like the term "ObamaCare". Exactly why Mitt Romney can't be President. He is out of touch, has no respect, and only wants to take care rich constituents.
