BUMPING TO THE MOON! Why is this taking so LONG??? If you were all monthly donors ($1/day is a good place to be) we wouldn’t need these freepathons. Pleeeeze?

[jazusamo]

Good point, I’m still am hot about that.

[smoothsailing]

LOL! Great Graphic!

Another fine article by the good Doctor, Jaz, thanks for the ping.

BTW, in keeping with the Care Versus Control theme, the Obama administration is planning a new health care supplemental program called, 'Cash for Seniors.'

[jazusamo]

Thanks, redhead! You couldn’t be more right.

[jimt]

Bump.

[jazusamo]

Thank you for the graphic, Smooth!

The best satire is that which is closest to the truth and that’s very good satire.

Amazing. The same things have happened to me — odd drug and food reactions — a lot. At least I have one thing in common with Dr. Sowell, LOL!

I fear the gubmint takeover of the health-care system the most when I’m not afraid of the gun grabbers and cap and tax.

Pres-uh-dent B-uh-rock H-uh-sain Uh-bomba’s speech patterns are so annoying that I can’t bear to listen to him speak at all. I like the Rush speed-up.

Thanks!

If this new medical scheme is so wonderful, why can't it stand the light of day or a little time to think about it?

Maybe like the cash for clunkers mess - the medical scheme will cost three times as much as they say, bankrupt hospitals, and be "out of control" before it's a few days old.

It would not be surprising should it pass, it could very well shut down the health care system for some time.

[Citizen Soldier]

I met a woman in Arizona last year with a chronic illness from Vancouver, BC who has a chronic illness. She said they could only travel to AZ and be covered by healthcare if they purchased a policy for a temporary visit. My s-i-l is from Scotland and her parents are now in Yorkshires and her mother was told she could not come over here due to her health, and if she defied the doctor’s opinion not to travel the would not care for her if she got sick. My s-i-l’s uncle and aunt don’t travel here becasue they can’t afford the health care policy they would have to purchase.

Great, just great.

[jazusamo]

That is really pathetic when a doctor (state) can make those decisions for you and it looks like that’s where we could be heading with Zer0.

[Citizen Soldier]

Her mom is now in a nursing home costing her (not the govt.) $5,000 a month, and if she could have come over here her daughter would gladly have cared for her in her home. Now her dad is also going into the home so I guess another $5,000 a month for him too. They are selling the home to pay for it when the savings run out.

But where are Americans to turn if we become like Canada? Where are we to go when we need better medical treatment than Washington bureaucrats will let us have? Mexico? The Caribbean?

India. It's happening already.

IOW, the suicide pill. Ends all physical pain forever.
