1. Hell no and it isn't available

to most of them that do have health insurance.

[goodboy]

3. What's this thing cost? What if one were "self pay" or "bartering" ala tea party types(nt)

[NNN0LHI]

13. A lot of chickens

2. Apparently you can only look at his package today, though.

[WinkyDink]

17. HE IS GROSS.

4. Sure, for three chickens and a baby pig

You might also have to bring a jar of home made preserves every week for maintenance.

[goodboy]

6. Probably runs on preserves (nt)

5. How many chickens

would it cost?

[shraby]

7. It wouldn't even be available for the average person who

DOES have insurance. The insurance company would just call it "experimental" and deny, deny, deny.

8. hmm..that's not what the teabaggers signs say! *nt

9. Screw wearing garlic to ward off evil...

I'm gonna start wearing rare-earth magnets. That, or I'll start lugging around a microwave oven with a defective door.

That evil man must quiver in his boots during a lightning storm.

10. I'm dumb. what exactly is the device?? n/t

[goodboy]

14. It's an expensive Left Ventricular pump.>>>

Mr. Cheney’s heart will never beat at full strength again, doctors say. His new mechanical pump, a partial artificial heart known as a ventricular assist device, leaves patients without a pulse because it pushes blood continuously instead of mimicking the heart’s own beat.

No pulse? creepy.

16. Yikes! Thanks for the info. Didn't know that was his evilness

in that pic, but am grateful he wasn't facing the camera! Creepy indeed.

11. Only if you had that kind of money.

Otherwise Alan Grayson is right.

[Still a Democrat]

12. Rush knows how everyone can get that or anything else

Write a check!

[goodboy]

15. conservative utopia...everyone's a millionaire, and there are no

garbage men, or fast food workers..we're all neurologists or pilots or talk show hosts.

18. I presume so if they can cough up the money.
