yep. my mother is a code-pink-leftie-obama voter. when i told her to be careful of what she voted for and explained that the mayo clinic in phoenix wasn’t going to except medicare anymore (that’s what she is on), her reply was, “so what? i don’t need to go to the mayo clinic”.

there will come a time that she might need to, and the option isn’t there.

you can’t reason with them. she thinks that britain’s and canada’s system is wonderful. but she is an American, and hasn’t had to use it.

i told her to look at the VA and the BIA health care.

you can’t reason with the lefty obama voters. funny thing is, she’s stingy with “her money” but has no problem taking it from someone else, even to the extent of refusing to help her children.

i’ll bet babs streisand, sean penn, rosie o, etc. won’t have to wait in the same lines we will.

Technically true.

Obama has a good start on it.

Well, our dear friend Obama has seemingly stressed a hands off policy with the glaring exception of ineffective meddling in Israel and (earlier) Honduras. Imperialism is bad, don’tcha know? For somebody to rule the whole world, may require some decades of additional ferment.

Hmm. I guess I’m not like your patients. I don’t like even having to take aspirin for pain. I sure wouldn’t take a narcotic unless my pain was severe and OTC drugs did not work.

“but then the pain pills will be doled out just to get complaining patients to shut up.”

I suspect most of these people who are seeking “health care” are just seeking free narcotics anyway, so they will probably be fine with that. God help those who are there for more serious problems that a “pain pill” or IV narcotic won't take care of. Patients in this country are in for a rude awakening, they have been spoiled by the health care system we have now. Although not perfect, it WAS the best in the world. Anybody want to bet that they bring in a bunch of substandard MDs from Muslim countries to replace those who will be leaving health care? The best and the brightest will flee and be replaced by the substandard.

From the Melbourne Herald Sun, Australia

Elderly woman in 'awful' wait for surgery

By Freya Michie

Updated Thu Mar 18, 2010 2:27pm AEDT

The Victorian Government has apologised to a 90-year-old woman who has been waiting for four days for surgery to her broken leg.

Jean Rodwell from the Melbourne suburb of Keysborough fell over in her home on Monday and broke her leg.

She has since been in the Dandenong Hospital for four days, fasting and waiting for surgery.



The Health Minister, Daniel Andrews, says the situation will be remedied.

"I am very sorry about any distress that has been caused to this patient and her family," he said.

"I am advised from Dandenong Hospital today that these are clinical decisions, but that Jean will get her surgery today," he said.

He says more critical patients had to be treated first.

"I don't think it is fair to say that senior Victorians are given second class care, that's not my experience," the Minister said. ###

I wouldn’t use the “T” word, but you and I are on the same page there.

John is most certainly a “T” to the Conservative cause.

If a 90-year-old is bedridden for several days, it could be a death sentence. But these are the choices Government-Run Health Care makes.

Quix, most don’t understand the. You have to have studied the Bible for a long time to get this. It is beyond the cursory Bible reader. Don’t take it as an insult, take it as what God says. “People will die because of a lack of knowledge”. And both you and I know that means a lack of knowledge of HIS Word. Just the times my brother, just the times. CO

” I can not believe that Geraldo is still on FNC they have given him the entire night. “

We need to all write Fox and demand that they fire that spic bastard.

Tonight just might do it for Geraldo. Let FOX know how we all feel with tonight's debacle.

When Boehner says HELL NO he’s cookin’. I flinch a bit at the “bipartisan” talk but I anticipate that this nicety is going to go by the boards soon.

This is an Old Testament quotation and speaks of earthly events. The New Testament parallel in Jesus Christ is the failure to accept salvation. This abominable political action tonight won’t impact anybody’s salvation; if they acted like the damned they probably already were damned.
