		<description>We are glad to hear that Sasha did not have meningitis.  But the story kind of ends there.  What did she have, a selfish moment caused by not getting her way or her favorite ducky, doll, or teddy bear she saw with her babysitter, (the television) while out on one your weekend flings with the President. Now that&#039;s REAL health care we can use.</description>

		<description>Happy to say that I didn&#039;t watch not a one of the many broadcast with &quot; The Dealer &quot; this a.m. 

Of those of you who did can you tell me,

Is the recession over?
Has Unemployment rate fallen?
Did the democrats join and sing sweet love songs this a.m.?
Did Michelle make any Fashion Statement that swept the media off its feet?
Did Russia disarm and release millions of turtle doves?
Did Jessee Jackson and Al Sharpton promise to make race relations better in the US?
Did Obama point by point go over &quot; his &quot; healthcare &quot;bill?
Did any printing machines break during the night at the US Mint?
Did Obama tell any truths?
Did Obama heal Paterson?
Are the black panthers selling girl scout cookies now?
Has Acorn repented of its sins?
Has Charlie Rangel been investigated yet?
Has anything at all changed?

So many questions, so little time.</description>

		<description>&quot;What is the point of the story anyway? That other people couldn’t take their baby to the ER if they thought she had meningitis? Of course they could . . . and it wouldn’t matter if they had health insurance, or if they could pay the bill or not. The ER would have been required by federal law to examine and treat the baby.&quot;

Oh, what makes you think they could to to a Michelle Obama administered emergency room, hm? Enquiring minds what to know.

		<description>Eh.

The part about the &quot;diagnosed with meningitis&quot; is one that I&#039;d consider &quot;close enough&quot;, since it could be reasonably said that the preliminary diagnosis by the pediatrician was meningitis, which is why he directed them to the ER.  It wasn&#039;t the final (or correct) diagnosis, but I can see it as at least &lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt; diagnosis.

What makes zero sense to me is Michelle trying to use this as an example of someone being &quot;lucky&quot; to have health care coverage.  As others have pointed out, it&#039;s not like anyone is getting turned away from emergency rooms, &lt;strong&gt;especially&lt;/strong&gt; those without coverage... who tend to use the ER as their one-stop-shop for all medical care.

In fact, the case could be made that, if this actually had been meningitis, it would have been &lt;strong&gt;more likely&lt;/strong&gt; to have been caught if they &lt;strong&gt;didn&#039;t&lt;/strong&gt; have medical coverage, since they would have gone straight to the emergency room instead of the pediatrician (who couldn&#039;t treat it).

That&#039;s what you call ironic, Michelle.</description>
