This Republican on Hardball says they do blood pressure and cholesterol checks at the State Fair
As if he was saying what else is needed with our health care system? And this is a Republican Senator who is also a doctor. Tweety almost called him on it but he didn't. See what we are up against?

Tweety hesitated for a moment after the Republican Senator said it but went on to something else. He should have hammered him.

1. tweety misses lots of opportunities to call people out.

I sometimes think it's due to time constraints, and that's a poor excuse imo.

3. These people are such simpletons.
It's as though they can only have one or two tiny thoughts in their brains at one time.

Blood pressure checks at the State Fair = health care for all!

Idiots.

5. Well, that takes care of that, then.
If you don't have insurance all you have to do is go to your state fair to get your blood pressure and cholesterol checked. You should be just fine if you do that because that's all the health care anyone needs.

Why didn't we think of this sooner?

7. Most places in the country have health fairs that do blood tests and health screenings for free or
very small cost. Health care professionals volunteer as do emergency personnel, firefighters, policepersons, etc.

8. Sure, go get your cholesterol checked after you've spent all day eating deep fried food.
Capital idea.

15. He did call him on some things
he was going off on him about something. I went to wash dishes and turned on so I wouldn't miss Keith and heard it. He told him that Reagan spouted off about wanting health care but absolutely nothing. I did not catch it all but the republican guy couldn't answer half the stuff Chris threw at him. He also said they should have a party that made sense and supported the Amur-i-can people. He sure sounds his er's funny.

18. Wow
Gee, I've never been to a State Fair in my life. Does that mean I just get to die from lack of preventative care, according to this Repig?

is elevated?

21. Yeah, that's just so there is a record
of pre-existing conditions. Come to our screenings, then be ineliable for insurance if you manage to get into the position of being able to buy some.

23. perhaps he is trying to conflate--in the minds of the sheep--the health care weekends of the free
clinic group with the state fairs. wouldn't surprise me in the least.
