GOP dumbfuckery:
Here is how hospitals work, @gop. There is no radiation, surgery, chemo, or other cancer stuff in the emergency room. Thats Oncology.

Yeah, I had to read that again. These GOP fuckers don’t even know how cancer care is done. If you think cancer can be treated in an ER you have to have had been born with rectal cranial inversion.
Hospitals simply can’t treat cancer in an ER. Oncology wings are specialized care areas that have not only surgery wards, but specialized and very expensive equipment, including cyberknife/x-ray equipment to blast cancer areas, linear accelerators to generate particles for cancer treatments, specialized in-patient areas for treatment and care, infusion centers, etc. That’s one of the reasons that not every hospital has a specific oncology program.
So no, you can’t just go to the ER to deal with your breast cancer. Or prostate cancer. That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works.
Combine that with HHS honco Price’s stunning dumbassery of his own:
Tom Price on @Morning_Joe—CBO “woefully underperforming” on evaluating health plans.
Price helped pick the CBO Dir. https://t.co/FaV2C09c79 pic.twitter.com/gTjj8oNjec— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) March 10, 2017
