PZ Myers drops the mic on anti-Obamacare Fox Randites

[alp227]

Video at link; PZ's rebuttal:

Stossel is outraged that he has to pay the same insurance premiums as a woman — they go to the doctor more! It’s not as if regular checkups might actually reduce health care costs, you know — he’s saving money by skipping on the maintenance and waiting for the catastrophic disaster.

As for smug little twit Doocy: “I’m in my 60s. Why should I pay for your maternity care?”

Hey, I’m in my 50s, why should I subsidize your greater health care needs, old man? My kids are in their 20s, they shouldn’t have to pay for any insurance, ’cause they’re healthy and young!

Maybe because someday I, and they, will be in our 60s, too. And maybe somebody Doocy loves will need maternity care (oh, wait, no, that can’t be can it? These are Fox News goons, they can’t possibly love a woman, ever.)

Stossel, by the way, is 66. Why the hell is he still employed, still insured, still supported by anyone? Isn’t it way past time for society to stop subsidizing the old geezer, shuffling him off to pasture so young people can move up?

Or is it possible that a responsible society values all of its members and gives them all lifelong equal citizenship?

And a comment on the Pharyngula blog also brings up the same point HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius had in this week's Obamacare hearings:

I don’t know what Stossel is crabbing about. At 66, he can’t even apply for Obamacare; he has to take Medicare instead. It’s the law. And of course, Doocy seems to have aged, magically: His Wikipedia page lists him as having been born in October of 1956, which would make him 57.

(Sebelius is 65, same goes for her. Unfortunately, the generally reliable Politifact thinks a "Pants on Fire" otherwise.)

1. Wow, Doocy was particulary whiny and animated in this clip.

What a little twont.

2. I think we should stop using "asshole" and "douchebag"...

And start using "Stossel" and "Doocy".

3. Ha!!! I like that!!!

4. I love me some PZ Myers.

One of my daily mandatory Blog visits.

5. Stossel merely has to pay

the same premiums as every other human being his age, without regard to his particular set of genes (including his XY gene).

Luckily for him, no one's going to charge him more for his pre-existing ego.

6. Unfortunately, that ass Doocey was actually born

from the womb of a woman, God forbid. We all might wish he had not been, but alas he was.

7. Oh, that Doocy is a mother alright.

As for Stossel, the famous slapdown he took from that wrestler back in 1985 addled his brain. Pathetic.
