All told, 21 people received medical treatment at the event and one person was taken to a local hospital, out of a crowd of 3,040. It was about 75 degrees in Roanoke this evening.

Obama reminded the crowd that there were paralegals in the house to provide medical assistance — yes, paralegals. The president then corrected himself, but, given the apparent nature of what’s in store under Obamacare, his first statement was probably more factually accurate.
