So who's paying for Harry...
Whittington's hospital bill?

Who should?

Harry and his insurance company?

The White House with taxpayer money?

Dick Cheney out of his own pocket?

Sorry, but this inquiring mind would just like to know.....

2. Someone asked that on Ed Schultz today...
Ed thinks Harry has premium coverage. But, wouldn't his ins. co. go after someone that caused an accident, like in a car accident???

5. As I understand it...
all present and previous members of the federal legislative, executive, and judicial branches get 100% taxpayer provided health insurance for life. No deductables, no copays.

Present members of the executive get taxpayer provided coverage to any extent they and/or their physicians demand it. Not only are we paying for his MASH unit, but Cheney hasn't paid out a dime for any of his heart attacks, I'll just bet you. And he never will.

to affordable health care ins. Why is this alright with any American?

7. most likely his own medical coverage pays
if an accident victim expects the perpetrator to pay, then he must file a civil lawsuit

i doubt taking such an action would do whittington much good at the country club or in the circles of power so it won't happen
