Do you get worried that they’re going to basically pass the health care bill unseen? No one is sure what’s in it; Pelosi said we’ll find out when it’s passed, but what if we don’t like what we find? For instance, the bill could be passed and we’ll finally read it and be like, “Wait a second; this doesn’t say health ‘care’. It says health ‘bear’. The bill mandates that angry grizzly bears go in every hospital!”
Man, that will sure change a waiting room. No longer a place of annoyance, it will be a place of fear as you have to sit out in the open, exposed to bears. And things will only get worse for those scared of MRIs, and now you have to lie still while bears claw at them and try to get inside.
Call your Congressman and tell him you don’t like bears and you vote.
I couldn’t agree with you more frank… I’m calling my congressman right now and telling him no to bears.
I would love to have bears. Instead, I found this halfway through the bill.
1.
Unbreakable union of freeborn republics
Great Russia has welded forever to stand!
Created in struggle by will of the peoples
United and mighty, our Soviet land!
CHORUS:
Glory to our great Motherland, mighty and free,
Bulwark of people, in brotherhood strong!
Oh! Party of Lenin! The strength of the people.
To Communism’s triumph lead us on!
2.
Through tempests the sun rays of freedom have cheered us
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead!
To a righteous cause he raised up the people
Inspired them to labour and valorous deed!
CHORUS
3.
In the victory of Communism’s deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
selflessly true, we always shall stand!
CHORUS
If they want bi-partisan support, it should be a health “beer” bill.
“Health Care” doesn’t seem quite right for this bill – and as much as I like the concept of free roaming hospital bears, I don’t think that’s quite it either.
What it is, is “Healthfare”. basically more waiting room time, more forms to fill out, less face to face time with an actual Doctor and a trend toward uncomfortable chairs in the waiting room.
Fortunately it only costs a trillion bucks.
Racist!
Why can’t we just let Sarah Palin’s pink shotgun take care of the “armed bears” in hospital waiting rooms? It worked for them wolves she shot from helicopters, no fuss no muss.
Come to think of it, why can’t we just let Sarah Palin’s pink shotgun take care of a few others who need to be in her sights? I didn’t see a thang… ** whistles and looks around the room **
Black bears, brown bears, polar bears ( you know, white) celebrate diversity!
Another good reason to buy that 300Win Mag I’ve had my eye on. Thanks Frank.
Look out Frank !! (or is it Frnak?) Panda bears !!! Everywhere in this thing.. Eeek !
Or in the case of Pelosi et al —- Pandering bears.
I have an idea how we can court democrat NO votes. Since a ride on Air Force 1 was enough for Dennis Kucinich I am positing we should set up a Tilt-O-Whirl in front of congress and offering free rides for NO votes on health care.
Pink shotguns all around, Nunya.
Man, that is so not fair. The democrats are actually accomplishing all the good things Boooooooosh said he would do but didn’t.
Illegal Aliens: make America suck worse than home. Problem solved.
Socialism Security going bankrupt: pass government “health care”. Old people don’t live so long. Problem solved.
Terrorism: make the terrorists feel sorry for America. You can’t imagine attacking a wounded f*ing retard. Problem solved.
Don’t impinge on my rights!! The constitution says I have a right to keep and arm bears! If you don’t like grizzles with gatling guns, keep it to yourself.
We already have free health care for the poor; it’s called “charity”. (unless it’s paid for with money confiscated from people with jobs by the IRS on the orders of politicians. then it’s called “Grounds for Revolution”.)
It is the whole system that is broken. Government already pays half of all healthcare dollars directly (from taxes). Medicare and Medicaid pay below cost in most cases so those costs as well as the unfunded mandates of emergency care from the government are all passed onto whatever fool with a 30k a year job and crappy insurance walks into a hospital. They are going to re-coup all those other costs from you.
Even if Health insurance companies became non-profit it would only reduce health-care costs theoretically 3.6%.
If you pay taxes and have insurance and go into the hospital and there are 5 of you in there you likely are paying directly and indirectly for the other 4. This is why health-care costs are exploding is because of hospitals recouping costs.
Our current system is the worst of both worlds from socialism and capitalism.
If you are young and healthy your insurance rates are about to double. If you are old and drink and smoke your rates are about to drop a little. However insurance companies will now have government cover for denying you certain types of care.
