Limbaugh: "I don't think there's one thing wrong with the United States health system."
Everybody out there who has gotten to stay in a hospital for 2+ days when nothing was wrong; please check in here, and share your details.

I had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. I got to stay in the hospital for a whole 28 hours. (Counting the surgery)

4. It's your own fault -- why aren't you making $50 million a year and getting
gobs of press for instilling fear and hatred in the masses?

6. Hey dipshit, not everyone has Clear Channel insurance
topped by whatever your multi-million dollar bank account will afford.

Stupid fucking douchebag.

8. Does Limbaugh know Hawaii has Mandatory Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance?
Everyone who works twenty hours a week has health insurance in Hawaii. Rush, do you pay health insurance for your gardeners and drug shopping maid, or do you simply employ them for a mandatory nineteen hours a week?

13. Of course, nothing is wrong with the system. He lived.
If he died, there would be hell to pay from his loyal fans and lawyers. The system would have failed him.

As for the rest of us, if we had insurance, the system succeeded, if no insurance, it failed. We lived but with bills that would take a lifetime to pay off. That part is the failure.

14. Let's turn things upside down for Rush. Suddenly he's not a
fat, bloated gazillionaire having heart attack symptoms. He's a homeless guy with a couple of bucks in his pocket. Rush the homeless guy would be in and out of the ER within hours with minimal testing and good wishes from the ER staff. Rush got the very best medical care because he can pay for it. Until everyone gets their own biased, hate-filled radio show with an audience of millions of crazy people, most of us will be on the outside looking in.

15. Social Darwinism at its finest
Edited on Sat Jan-02-10 08:18 AM by BakedAtAMileHigh
Rush is a Social Darwinist; therefore, our healthcare system works perfectly from his point of view. It denies coverage and medicine to those "unfit for survival" (the poor) and premium service to bloated parasites like Limbaugh -- of course he frickin loves it!
