We Have Univ. Health Care! Tommy Thompson says so!

[fencesitter]

"Even if you don't have health insurance," said Thompson, who toured medical facilities in the Iraqi cities of Baghdad and Tikrit on Saturday and Sunday, "you are still taken care of in America. That certainly could be defined as universal coverage. Every American's health care is far superior to what the health care is in Iraq."

Universal care is right for Iraq, Thompson says

1. Yeah, the uninsured can get cared for...

...but they get billed and have their credit ruined when they can't pay. They also get hounded by collectors, causing stress.

Go screw yourself Tommy! It's easy to talk crap like that when you have a great health plan.

2. HAHAHAHAHA........

comparing the healthcare of the most prosperous nation in the world to...

A BOMBED OUT RUIN OF A COUNTRY ON THE VERGE OF CIVIL WAR.

And guess what...SURPRISE...the most prosperous nation in the world WINS!!! No need for improvement!!! No desire to move forward!!! After all, we have beter health care than:

A BOMBED OUT RUIN OF A COUNTRY ON THE VERGE OF CIVIL WAR.

Oh, this is rich.

3. How many ways is he wrong?

Well, for starters, some Iraqis do get better health care than some Americans.

5. Hey, I'm unemployed and I have health care.

A bottle of aspirin and a box of bandaids. Oh, and crossed fingers that nothing serious happens.

7. What a stupid comment

I hope moveon.org was rolling tape on that one.

We need Harry and Louise back. This time Harry is 55 and out of work, his company just eliminated health insurance for retirees, Louis has Altzheimer's and Harry has cancer so they can't get coverage due to a preexisting condition and Harry is getting ready to file for bankruptcy.
