Thompson opposes nationalized health care at a campaign event.

1. Wow. The stupid, it burns.

Let's just do the same thing bigger and greedier than before!

Here is a man who has never done without healthcare. This month my medical bills have run over 2K, and I have not been in a hospital.

I have no insurance, and with my medical history, cannot get it.

So let me just say to Tommy, Fuck You! Fuck you for your greater concern for business than human life and health. If a corporation decides it can make money off abortions, you would be pro choice tomorrow, you heartless bastard.

2. What a waste of oxygen he is.

3. What a fucking idiot.

I love the way these guys talk in code. What they mean is more of the smae but with higher deductables and less illnesses covered. If you get sick it's your problem.
When he was talking about emergency room care I fully expected him to say 'to keep people from using emergency rooms for their healthcare, let's close the emergency rooms' (unless you present a BIG check at the door.).

4. But...

Didn't he says "health insurance for every American"? That sounds at least somewhat supportive.

5. I'm a Tommy-hater, but to give the devil his due,

WI did provide somewhat better health care to the poor than most states during his tenure as governor. Still crappy, but more people covered & slightly better access than the norm, sepecially for a Republican goobernator.
