“...the ruling class of government planners have eaten up more of our financial resources, through redistribution to corrupt companies, NGO’s, Baby Mamas and non-profits than any greedy capitalists.”

True that.

Note: These Medicaid patients don’t want to make an appointment with a doctor, so they use the ER. We’re always told that one of the reasons to extend Medicaid is so they don’t have to use the ER. Well they use the ER.... you and I would have a co-pay when we go to the ER.....they don’t and if they had to pay something they would think twice.

Samantha no longer thinks everyone has a right to healthcare. She thinks we have an obligation to help those with chronic, genetic conditions and those struggling mothers and fathers truly interested in the welfare of their children.

That's judgmental.

In one incident, a white nurse approached a teenage black mother because another patient in the waiting room reported she heard the child screaming in the bathroom. The teenage mother told the nurse, "that's what's wrong with you white people, you never hit your kids, you think you're all that."

Obviously in need of diversity training.

Taking her 4 months to begin to see the light say something about the effectiveness of LIBthink.

So Samantha (name changed to protect identity) is another low information, head full of mush leftist who got mugged by reality.

Since leftists deal in emotion, rather than logic, you can try to educate them till you’re blue in the face. It doesn’t do any good. They have to be mugged before it finally sinks in.

Pretty good article especially when from “the mouths of babes” comes the condemnation of not using corporal punishment with children

That is still one of the biggest problems with liberalism. They always say "we have an obligation" and then work to impose some tax or requirement to see that their "pet obligation" is fulfilled via gov't.

Most conservatives on the other hand may feel that they have a personal obligation to help [fill-in-the-blank], and choose to do so with their own personal contributions. They may even try to encourage others to help as well, but without compulsion by force. When one is compelled by force to support another's "pet obligation", they have less left over to provide to their own "pet obligation".

Who, the "white nurse"? I believe that "teenage black mothers" already "know the score". (/sarc)

It seems that you're right.

This scene protrayed in the article also happens in none inner city hospitals....though not as pronounced....

I live in a nice part of the world and had to go to the local regional hospital...

Walked in the ER and thought I had entered some third world country based on who was sitting in the waiting room...

I was only attacked once by some wackco....

They tried to get my phone by pulling a wackco stunt....
