A conservative GOP lawmaker says he “made a poor choice of words” when citing a decision to delay treatment of his son’s broken arm to point out the benefits of a health care system in which consumers bear a greater share of out-of-pocket costs.
Rep. Bill Huizenga stirred up controversy earlier this week after telling Michigan news site MLive.com that he and his wife opted to place a splint on their son’s arm and wait until the next morning to take him to the doctor rather than seek immediate but more costly treatment at an emergency room.
Republican says son's broken arm was poor political point on health care - CBS News
Republicans are bad mkay.. You have to love it. He claims he made a "poor choice of words" not that he made an actual bad fucking decision. This guy dindo nuttin wrong! Perhaps Trump can name him the Surgeon General!
It's quite ok, to tell your kid with a broken arm to just wait till the morning to see the doctor because it's cheaper! Keep in mind this is a guy whom likely has better health insurance than any of us can buy. Meanwhile he choose to use his sons broken arm to gain political brownie points rather than get him medical attention.
Man up boy, I have votes to win!
