Bette Midler: 'In America It’s Easier to Take a Life Than to Get Health Insurance'
Mediaite ^ | July 31, 2013 | Noel Sheppard

Actress and singer Bette Midler is quickly becoming one of Hollywood's most addle-minded personalities.

On Twitter Wednesday, she actually wrote, "Do you find it odd that in America today, it’s easier to take a life than to get health insurance?"

Let's look at the facts, shall we?

In 2011, there were about 14,000 homicides in our nation. That year, 48.6 million Americans were uninsured.

That means about 261 million people in our country had health insurance that year, or 18,643 times the number of homicides.

Midler might be a Divine singer, but her intellectual capacity is anything but.

How does she feel about abortion? That’s taking a life. And it’s easier than pulling a trigger.

She's killed me at least a dozen times. (each time the woman in my life insisted she wanted to watch Beaches again.)

Every time your wife insists on watching Beaches, tell her you want to make it a double-feature with Hocus Pocus. While watching Beaches, point out the miracles that Hollywood make-up people have done on Midler. And while watching Hocus Pocus, comment how natural she looks.

Considering the mission of obamacare’s IPAB’s, her words may very well be prophetic. Except that the lives will be taken by the government...her favorite government.

Bette Midler: ‘In America It’s Easier to Take a Life Than to Get Health Insurance’

Ms. Midler, It is easier to take a life anywhere in the world then it is to get health insurance. At least in America more people have access to healthcare then anywhere else. There are many country’s where people have no access to health care and are murder daily. If you have nothing intelligent to say may you should not say anything.........

If you outsource killing someone, you have to pay the contractor for that too.
