LIMBAUGH Vows To FLEE The Country IF Health Care Passes
Lets hurry up and pass HCR!:rofl:


" Limbaugh’s self-imposed exile should be all the incentive needed to pass health care reform."



" Hate radio host Rush Limbaugh has been one of health care reform’s most vociferous opponents, warning that “uman beings will die earlier than normal” under the “freedom killing” and “life threatening” plan, and calling for it to be “aborted.” Yesterday, Limbaugh put his money where his mouth is, saying that if health care passes and all his fears are realized, HE'LL LEAVE THE COUNTRY:



CALLER: If the health care bill passes, where would you go for health care yourself? And the second part of that is, what would happen to the doctors, do they have to participate in the federal program, or could they opt out of it?<...>


LIMBAUGH: My guess in even in Canada and even in the UK, doctors have opted out. And once they’ve opted, they can’t see anybody Medicare, Medicaid, or what will become the exchanges. They have to have a clientele of private patients that will pay them a retainer and it’ll be a very small practice. I don’t know if that’s been outlawed in the Senate bill. I don’t know. I’ll just tell you this, if this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I’ll go to Costa Rica.

33. When you have the kind of money he does, you can not only get Oxy whenever and wherever
you want, you can dispense the pills from the butt cracks of 8-year-old Dominican boys and the law will look the other way. There's one set of laws for the super-rich and one set of laws for the rest of us.

5. He's convinced me that it should pass!
Edited on Tue Mar-09-10 10:09 AM by Kitty Herder
I'm of the opinion that this bill is worse than doing nothing at all. However, if it means getting rid of Rush, I'm all for passing it.

8. Costa Rica? Please. There are brown people there...
He certainly wouldn't go to a place with lots of black, brown or yellow people, so that rules out most of the world. He wouldn't go to any "socialist" country, so that rules out most of the western world.

The fact is, this is the only country on earth that allows him to live his low-tax, for-profit, for-hate lifestyle, and pay for all the health care he can afford while denying it to the very people who support him. It's sick and only we have it...

14. Rumor has it that he has a certain preference for darker skinned boys
and I do mean boys - the kind he could only get in those areas where that sort of sex trade flourishes

11. Uh, hello dip shit limpballs....
but Socialized health Care is in more than 99.9% of the world, so leaving is not doing your cause any justice; even Costa Rica has socialized health care:

Limpballs would have to move to Somalia, where there it seems to be a repuke paradise.

12. Ahhhhh, Costa Rica
Where the Viagra and Oxycontin are free and the 12-year-old male prostitutes flow like water.

Wait a minute. Rush is going to flee to Costa Rica? But don't they have socialized medicine there too? And wouldn't that make HIM a "border jumper"? And then wouldn't he have to live amongst the evil "brown people" he hates so much?

39. What "federal program" is he even talking about?
He's making it sound like the current HCR bill will create Medicare for everyone, or that it is imposing a Canadian or UK-style system.

It's not doing any such thing, last time I checked. (Correct me if I'm wrong - I'd love to be wrong.)
