economy is going to be in the crowd for the next
three of four maybe more years
maybe six years
uh... to be a different situation
but at the same time you've got people who are actually going to pay
for that calculation i mean we're in a dilemma i'm not unlike the red sox for
many years
red sox
would never have a rebuilding year
so they'd get made me they'd get it did they do i was getting to the penetrates
they would keep the fans happy but they would never get all the way
and uh... that is sort of the dilemma we have a i don't i don't have the answer
i heard this uh... in in in terms of
the implications
of wide a president perry would be let me just give you an example
the story from a_b_c_ a twenty four-year-old cincinnati father
i think the guy had twenty
uh...
twenty four-year-old
cincinnati father
died
from a tooth infection
because he couldn't afford is medication
i guess it started with this guy kyle wilson wisdom tooth started hurting
uh... three or four weeks ago
dentist told amid needed to be pulled pulled
any decided to forego the procedure because he was an implied it had no
health insurance
when it's fully started to swell in his head began to eight
which of course is a sign it
you've got an infection and start spread
he went to the emergency room
he received prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medications
the guy couldn't afford boats
and so it shows the pain medications
the tooth infection spread
causing his brain to swell
he died
last week
and you know this is not the first of these stories i
it was a twelve-year-old kid
who had
the exact same situation or more elects
uh...
he went through a couple weeks of hospitalization i can remember
uh... how he paid for but if parents can afford ed didn't have a health insurance
it couldn't what the eighty dollar
extraction to pull out his tooth
or they didn't go to see a doctor because uh... they didn't have insurance
they had lost his medicaid benefits
and he couldn't afford uh... the dental surgery so twelve-year-old kid dot
kaiser family foundation reports the thirty three percent of people surveyed
in april
skip dental care dental checkups 'cause they couldn't afford it
a two thousand three report by the u_s_ surgeon general found that a hundred
made million americans had no dental insurance
nearly two point five times the number of who had no health and risk the
numbers probably higher today
and
the affordable care act is actually going to help people like this
assuming it's intact
by the family gets twenty fourteen
ardyss report by the comma found that center seventy two percent of people
lost their health insurance when they lost their jobs said they skipped needed
etc healthcare or did not fill prescriptions because it cost
people wanna believe there's a safety net the catch is all these people while
there isn't says doctor glenn stream president-elect of the american academy
of family pediatricians the affordable care act
will not deal with all this but it will deal with much of this
if you have
president parry
you're almost surer
to have the affordable care act alike
so when you make this determination
and it's not
your determination may may not a impact the election whatsoever one way or
another
but when you make this determination understand the calculation that you're
making
more people will die
