Rep. Ted Poe, R, Texas: Poor health care on reservations is the example of poor gov't health care

[eleny]

He's on the floor of the House saying that health care on reservations shows that the government can't provide good universal health care. Those clinics have such bad funding, therefore the government is not the way to go. They are the example of "government malpractice" according to Poe.

What can I say.

1. BWWWWHHHHAAAAAAAA

Not according to a native friend I have who works at one and is entitled to the services there as well. Now social services might be different, but my friend says the native health care hospital she works at rocks.

3. If Poe is correct at all, it would be nice if he gave a crap about upgrading the medical care

[Xipe Totec]

2. What kind of health care does Ted Poe Have?

and is he willing to trade it in for private health insurance?

If not, he can STFU.

[eleny]

4. And did he ever come to the floor of the House to demand better care on reservations?

[Indydem]

5. Heritage foundation as source?

Why not post from freeperland.... oh wait.

[eleny]

11. He recited a number of examples but didn't say where he got them

Btw, if my OP was a cut and paste from a freep web site, it would no doubt have contained heaps of praise for Poe. :crazy:

I'm writing to Poe asking if he's advocated for better medical care for reservations.

23. Don't go there

unless you have facts to back the accusation you are implying.

[Texasgal]

6. Exactly!

If that fucker had a cardiac arrest on the floor he would be given the finest health care available.

What a turd!

7. People who hate the government should never be elected to run it.

Because they will intentionally fuck it up to prove their point.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

8. +1. See: Paul, Ron. (nt)

20. What A Wonderful Slogan That Would Make!!

Bumper stickers,T-shirts,politcal signs!!! It makes little sense to condemn the hand that feeds you,gives you benefits INCLUDING healthcare!

9. You could tell him that the health care in the Navy is pretty good...

... and the last time I checked, that's government run.

[eleny]

13. Poe even gave our postal service as an example of a bad government service

I love our postal services. :shrug:

[Puzzler]

17. Yes, but IMO it's best to counter these wingnuts with examples from the armed forces...

... remember, right-wingers are not "allowed" to criticize the troops.

[eleny]

18. Oh, yeah, definitely....

As in, "Why do hate our military?"

[Lasher]

22. VA health care is great too.

Much better than my private health insurance from my employer.

[Deep13]

10. I'm sure he always advocates increases in their health care.

asshole

[Stevenmarc]

12. I have to mute the TV when Mr. "And that's just the way it is," comes on.

[eleny]

15. Rep Wexler was on the floor when I tuned in to C-Span

And then Poe was next. I should have done the same as you. The mute button is our friend.

[EFerrari]

16. I like to here his speeches because they're so bad, they're good.

lol

[City Lights]

14. And there's the kind that Ted Poe has.

That's the kind I want!

We want what you have, Ted!

[Deep13]

19. I guess Poe's own govt. health plan must SUCK! nt

[Hepburn]

24. That RW idiot former judge....asshole.

I would not have expected less than this kind of stupidity from him.
