"Healthcare" when the nation's founders were alive
Edited on Sun Mar-21-10 01:13 AM by Zomby Woof




And the ignorant, racist, ass-backwards teabaggers wonder why it wasn't really front and center on the "rights" agenda of late 18th century elite landowners. Let the rabble get their own leeches!

Really, the teabaggers, and conservatives in general, are just the dumbest fucking shitload of chuckleheads around.

1. "Bring back Leeches!" does have a certain resonance, doesn't it?
It might be fun to carry a sign saying that to one of the tea party protests. :eyes:

2. are those items costly?
they don't look like they are.
we could get out our ink&quill and add them as Items 1 and 2 on the blank sheet of parchment we use to write a new HCR bill.

I've got this teabagger that's always screaming about James Madison to me and about how Obama is shredding the Constitution. She really thinks that if we got rid of the trial lawyers, doctors could waste less money on tests and all their fancy contraptions and all our health care problems would be solved. Oh, and we should be able to travel on horseback to other colonies for our insurance. These Items 1 and 2 could fit nicely into her proposal for lowering costs, and make her beloved James Madison very happy too.

3. People like the teabagger you mention often say "In Europe they don't allow for large

Malpractice cases." But they fail to realize that in Europe, no one needs multi- million dollar settlements to ensure there are home health aides and visiting nurses 24/7 for a lifetime after a doctor screws up. That's because their governments give them that type of care.

5. I don't think I've heard her mention Europe, she's USA-centric and
really wants to see us kick the *illegals* out since they are a *huge* drain on the system. And then we need to lock the doors to the country.
And if this HCR passes, all of the doctors are going to retire and there will be no such thing as real *care*.

4. Let me guess.....her "baby girl" is named 'Madison'.......
....it was a very trendy name in back-in-the-day (not so long ago) in certain douche-bag circles, ya know.
