Sheila Jackson Lee on Chinese Health Care
National Review Online ^ | 1/19/11 | Robert Costa

Posted on 01/19/2011 5:30:10 PM PST by Nachum

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) made headlines this week for claiming that health-care repeal means “killing Americans.” In an exchange with National Review Online at the Capitol tonight, she used China as an example of universal coverage. From the tape: JACKSON LEE: I was with a Chinese delegation in Texas on Sunday, and one [visitor] came up to me and said, ‘What is this debate about health care? We think this is something everybody should have in China.’ That’s what this person said to me; he was baffled. Of course, their system is different. NRO: They’re communist.

She is probably just doing the same thing Michelle Obama said she would do ( during the campaign); Taking care of her people.. the ones that will probably benefit the most form Obamacare.

Was she the one Neil Cavuto was yelling at today? She is dense. And in China, the more money you have, the better health coverage you get. That’s what she wants Obamacare to emulate?

Funny how low the price of a doctor’s office visit will go when they know you don’t have any insurance.

Or can't sue the doctor.

This particular doctor's office was in a four star hotel where they get six bucks a can for diet coke...

Actually, Shiela Jackson Lee is a big fan of CastroCare.

She has often referred to Cuba as having "the best healthcare system in the world".

Yeah, she's a moron. And a full-fledged socialist.

Hilarious Monty Python skit!

Did you catch that the chief idiot was teaching a course in idiocy at East Anglia University? (Maybe Phil Jones took that course? or taught it.)

If Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) is so enamored with Chinese health care, let’s deport her to Ulan Bator, Mongolia, for the rest of her miserable life. She’s so deserving of this honor.

Whenever I want to understand a complicated subject, I always ask SJL.

She always has an answer, and as long as there is a camera, microphone, or reporter around, she is more than willing to share her vast knowledge and wisdom.

I am still waiting, however, to hear how she funded that trip to LA to attend Michael Jackson’s funeral. Local reporters never were able to pry that out of her.

Sheila needs to stick to something she understands: planetary exploration.

China used to have some good practices regarding health care but they've probably gone by the wayside now. Traditionally a family paid the village doctor a monthly fee. If someone got sick they stopped payments until the doctor got them well. They could pay him in chickens, eggs and vegetables too.

Might not work with a cardiac surgeon or a neurologist.

Chinese healthcare:


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

This is not about ignorance, but about hatred of our Country.

There is effectively nothing outside of the major cities. Moreover, the AVERAGE income in China is about $2k. What we think is inexpensive in China is very expensive for the Chinese. In addition, much of the care is “TCM” (traditional Chinese medicine), which on the whole is just quackery. BTW, I was in China 3 times last year. Fortunately, I didn’t need medical care.

An excellent depiction of the sickness Jackson uses to defile America.
