Shuster gives the finger to ObamaCare protester ping to Today show list.
Wouldn’t he be required to be on Medicare at some point, like retired and over 65 years old?
these dingleberries don’t get that we all have our money confiscated by Medicare and SS. It is not by choice. Of course, we use it when we get to that age.
I bet most of us wouldn’t have ‘opted in’ if given the choice.
Where is the outrage that a government goon BIT off (amputated) the finger of another American?
BFD. That’s because the bitee is retired and if you want your Social Security, you’re automatically enrolled in Medicare. So if he wants his finger put back on, Medicare is the only game in town. As for the implication that he’s some sort of hypocrite for using that which he protests against: just because you’re Shanghaied doesn’t mean you have to be happy as a member of the crew.
He went to the hospital of his choice, he did not have to wait for an appointment and Medicare will pay the insurance company of his choice.
Mr. Shyster doesn’t realize that some people on Medicare are protesting 0bamacare because they know Zero will have to gut Medicare to attempt to pay for this govt. takeover of the medical system.
The Hospital releases information on how this patient’s bill was paid? They are discussing a patient’s information with the news media and public?
About Par for the course for these Cowards to single out a older person a Medicare recipient.
I wonder if this is really the argument Shuster wants to make. Nothing like showing off his intellectual fire power, right? :)
In the lawsuit that will follow, we can only hope for more irony; maybe obama will have to completely loot the medicare lockbox to pay the settlement.
I wonder if Medicare would have covered a beating by the SEIU.
The poor guy doesn’t even have an option for private insurance. By government mandate Medicare becomes your primary insurance and any other insurance you have only pays what medicare doesn’t. So you must use medicare first or else...
They aren't protesting MediCare you idiot.
The same medicare that was only going to cost a billion or two in 1990. The same Medicare that is effectively bankrupt and running deficits projected into the tens-of-trillions. The same Medicare that mandates underpayment for treatments resulting in doctors and hospitals jacking up prices to non-Medicare patients in order to make up the difference thus driving costs higher and higher each year? The same Medicare that more and more doctors are refusing to accept? Is it that Medicare that is so worthy of this dope’s boasting?
“it was medicare that treated him.”
This guys is an idiot... Medicare doesn’t treat anyone. The hospital/doctor does.
How does Shuster know this? Aren't medical records private (at least for now) by law? Did someone at the hospital violate that law? Did Shuster violate privacy law?
He has no choice about Medicare which is a horrible program. Not sure why the obots are bragging about something that is bankrupt.
