>> Mitt Romney, On 60 Minutes, Cites Emergency Room As Health Care Option For Uninsured

This is a lie; he did no such thing.

Romney gave an example of how a person who has a heart attack gets the best of treatment regardless of whether he has insurance. When 911 is called, nobody asks whether you've got BCBS. When you're taken to the ER with symptoms of a heart attack, no one stops you at the door to make sure you have insurance. And if the ER suspects you've had one, you'll be admitted and treated.

If a patient walks or is carried in the doors of Parkland Hospital in Dallas or JRMC in Arkansas, he'll receive the finest health care available. Even if he is penniless. There are 100s of hospitals just like it around the country.
