Inhofe: ObamaCare Would Have Killed Me
Inhofe: I Would Have Died Under Obamacare During Surgery
By Greg Richter
Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., says he likely wouldn’t be alive today if Obamacare had been in effect when he received recent quadruple bypass surgery.
The 79-year-old Inhofe was having a routine colonoscopy when doctors found his arteries were so clogged he needed emergency heart surgery, Buzzfeed reports him saying in a radio interview set to air Sunday night.
In “socialized medicine like Obama is trying to impose upon America,” he could never have had his surgery because the wait time would have been too long, Inhofe told Aaron Klein’s WABC radio show.
