"Well, we do provide care for people who don't have insurance. If someone has a heart attack, they don't sit in their apartment and die. We pick them up in an ambulance, and take them to the hospital, and give them care."Wha? So now Willard thinks that Americans who have health insurance should pay for those that don't, via covering emergency room costs for the uninsured?
Mr. Etch-A-Sketch didn't always have those views. As recently as March 2010, Willard said:
"Look, it doesn't make a lot of sense for us to have millions and millions of people who have no health insurance and yet who can go to the emergency room and get entirely free care for which they have no responsibility, particularly if they are people who have sufficient means to pay their own way."As seems to be their pattern, we expect Willard's crack team to be out today with a "clarification" of either his 2010 remarks or his remarks on 60 Minutes. It doesn't really matter which, because they'll change in a few days again.
