TREATABLE!!!!?????!!!! "Don't want parents taking their kids to the emergency room for treatable conditions like asthma." I'm fuming right now. Obviously, Obama has never had to sit by when you see a relative possibly dying from asthma despite being treated. He's never had to take an ambulance ride despite both your inhalers working. He's never had to be on the "breathing machine" twice a day just so you can freakin' breathe. Treatable? Yes, but that doesn't mean a thing. You will still end up in ER. I did more times than I care to count. My brother almost DIED from asthma. Oh, and by the way, we were both under the military health care plan. We had our own room in the pediatrics wing of the hospital. One year, if I wasn't in there, one my brothers was. So treatable? Treatable doesn't mean no ER visits even when it's being treated.
