this issue was brought up by Mark Stien who filled in for Rush today. So are the democrats in this board going to declare him a retard who doesn't know what he's talking about? He brought up the fact than in some cases, patients with a rare, uncommon ailment requiring a special surgeon/doctor will often have to take a 2/3 hr road trip to see the specialist. so does Obama-Care also pay for gas-fare? bus fare? when they are the only options? Havent we all seem those medical stories on Discover/TLC regarding patients who have to be driven up to 12 hours once/twice a month to see their doctors/regular visits?
