Would this device be available to any of the 50 million Americans without health insurance? |

4. Sure, for three chickens and a baby pig |
|
You might also have to bring a jar of home made preserves every week for maintenance.

7. It wouldn't even be available for the average person who |
|
DOES have insurance. The insurance company would just call it "experimental" and deny, deny, deny.

9. Screw wearing garlic to ward off evil... |

I'm gonna start wearing rare-earth magnets. That, or I'll start lugging around a microwave oven with a defective door.
That evil man must quiver in his boots during a lightning storm.

14. It's an expensive Left Ventricular pump.>>> |
|
Mr. Cheney’s heart will never beat at full strength again, doctors say. His new mechanical pump, a partial artificial heart known as a ventricular assist device, leaves patients without a pulse because it pushes blood continuously instead of mimicking the heart’s own beat.
No pulse? creepy.
