The speed of stupid? Fastidious.

I’ll have to admit, this is the longest rant about one of my posts. First off, I am satirical, so I use potty-words, especially when comes to people like Bob Ellis and ironic Johnny, and secondly, Thune’s testimony can be summed up very quickly; Him and the GOP have no plan for healthcare reform besides tax credits, which is not reform. Tax credits already exist, and if they worked, we would not need reform.

Have a chuckle on me;

We pay, now, the price for what is the best medical industry in the world.  And take this into consideration in its fullness:  our infrastructure, our research, and our treatments, together, all have a price tag that is far larger than that of other countries, to be sure.  But other countries pay $0 for the investment that is the research cost that we pay with our dollars and time.  They only pay the price of the new “treatment” as it is in the current system (excluding factors like tariffs, export taxes, government regulations, etc.), whereas each time we go to the doctor, in addition to paying for the services rendered, the cost of investing in the best health care system in the world is included in our bill.

BAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, we pay twice as much as other industrialized nations and rate 35th. Even Cuba who pays their doctors $30 a month has a less infant mortality rate then us. Keep spreading the bullshit, and you teabaggers will get your way. Thank goodness there is no Hell, because they would reserve a special room for you.

Don’t confuse them with facts!

Great letter to the editor, but I had to laugh, there is so much factual information it might make rightwingers heads explode

Some Arguments Against Health Care Reform Are:

– 1) It is too expensive.

– It seems we can spend money on initiating two concurrent wars without argument, but when it comes to spending money to keep our own citizens healthy, there is no money to be found.

 

As Barney Frank said, “Who do you think paid for the Iraq War? Santa Claus?”

The Gargoyle Leader (finally) weighs in on supposed death panels and Herseth wants healthcare reform to work like small town grain elevators

It is about time the AL weighed in on death panels and how freaking ridiculous they are, just wondering what took them so long? The National MSM has been explaining this for weeks;

Fiction

  •  The bill does not mandate that such discussions occur. It merely requires Medicare to pay for them. 

     

     

  •  Nor does the bill set the decision about what kind of care is necessary before a government panel or to a government standard.
    • She said she would be more likely to accept some form of cooperative health care coverage, like that being proposed by Sen. Kent Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat. Conrad has said that health care cooperatives, similar to electric, telephone and farm cooperatives, would be consumer-owned nonprofits. 

    While I can understand her argument for the CO-OPs, I don’t agree with them. All we are doing is creating another healthcare beaureracy, something we already have with private health insurance. If we are going to create something like this, we might as well let the government do it. We already have Medicare, Medicade and the VA in place, we can build from those. Healthcare reform isn’t like a bunch of farmers selling grain.

    I encourage everyone to watch the whole video. Steffy sounds more and more like a Republican everyday. Of course she has had a lot of practice, she is a Democrat after all.

    Watch a longer video here, Frank is at his prime. At one point he says, “I haven’t had a secret in 21 years.” Pop just squirted out of my nose;

    Frank: Do you think Medicare is unconstitutional, sir?

    Teabagger: I think that Medicare needs to be reformed.

    Frank: Do you think it’s unconstitutional? You said that the Constitution doesn’t give us the authority to do it, but Medicare was done. And, do you think Medicare is unconstitutional?

    Teabagger: I think that Medicare needs to be reformed.

    Frank: But you won’t tell me whether you think it’s unconstitutional, which you said–

    Teabagger: I am not a Constitutional scholar-

    Frank: Then why did you start off arguing about the Constitution?
