Israel has Universal Health Care

[SHRED]

FOX News hero Joe Lieberman backs our tax dollar subsidization of Israel.

His message to us is that they can, but we can't have it...and we will help them pay for it.

1. I'd chip in $5 to a fund to bribe a reporter to ask him that. n/t

4. I'd pitch in a lot more than that, if they would really ask it, which no one will.

6. I have a friend who had a hysterectomy there. It cost her $0, a one-page form,

no waiting. To see the specialist she preferred cost her the equivalent of $5 a month.

2. Iraq also has US taxpayer funded health care

And Holy Joe is the occupation's biggest fan.

7. hes such a hypocrite

I detest him, no, I hate him. no , I detest and hate him. I also detest and hate Stupak and all those theological fucktards.

8. But Leiberman doesn't want us to have it? Obviously he is more interested

in their health than in ours.

9. Although my parents are close to their Medicare eligibility (3-4 years respectively)

There's already talk of moving to Israel, living with my sister to help out with any health issues.

Dad had battled lymphoma (cancer-free for 1.5 years now) and also viral meningitis. Mom's had battled a very nasty MRSA staph infection involving her sinus.

So yes, they've had their health issues, and paying through the nose for their BC/BS insurance (over $1,350/month) with high deductible just to get their health insurance to pay out for their recent illnesses.

[Indenturedebtor]

11. Please. You could say this of any Repug and half the Dems

If he wasn't Jewish you wouldn't even bring it up... and the subsidies are pretty much 100% military subsidies, and amount to a sop to our own military industrial complex. We do the same thing for a lot of other countries as well. It's a great way to funnel money to Boeing etc.

[madrchsod]

12. every industrialized country in the world has a form of universal health care....

and we promises from the insurance companies that they are our friends in time of need....

[Double T]

14. Universal Health Care is NOT allowed in extreme debtor nations such as........

The Corporate Republic of Greed. Joe won't be satisfied till Health Care costs 110% of the GDP.
