The earthquake is an example where any state which incurs an extraordinary health care situation will fall under the provision mentioned.
My speculative opinion is that Mr. Obama was becoming so rattled by the "unbelievers" questions that he confused the word "Haiti" with "Hawaii"............
Please elaborate on the "extraordinary health care situation" caused by the 2006 Hawaiian earthquake. Oh that's right you have me on ignore.
Because he said "the earthquake in Hawaii". He didn't say the 2006, the 1975 earthquake. With all these earthquakes one can only hope that Obamacare gets passed soon so residents of all 57 states will see that 3000% reduction in their premiums.
It makes zero sense, even for the sake of argument, to assume that he meant an earthquake which did no harm. You are trying too hard.
Plausible , But then what the hell does a foreign country's natural disaster have to do with nationalizing our US health care?
