The halfwit running against Obama actually said, in one case, that 
"government healthcare wasn't necessary, because they could just go to 
the emergency room." I am not sure which assumption in that idiot idea 
was less disturbing, the one by which it was assumed that 'preventing' 
illnesses was a bad thing, but treating everyone only when things got so 
bad it was an emergency was good, or the equally idiotic lack of 
comprehension as to where the fuck the money was coming from, if not the 
same government, to pay for the ***free*** emergency room treatment.
