Fox News Expert: 'Women Have The Breasts' So Health Care Should Cost More Than Men

[n2doc]

But what about...manboobs!

[C_U_L8R]

1. Republicans should pay more

because their heads are so firmly impacted up their butts

[Squinch]

2. Translation: if we keep making parity between men and women on these things, it will

be harder for us to get them back to being barefoot and pregnant and dependent on men!

[HereSince1628]

3. Well...what about PROSTATE CANCER? A majority of men die having prostate cancer

[Scuba]

4. Then Limbaugh should pay more too.

[WinkyDink]

5. Tell it to Peter Criss:

http://www.care2.com/greenliving/male-rock-star-survives-breast-cancer.html

Peter Criss, one of the founding members of the rock and roll megaband KISS is raising money for breast cancer three years after beating the disease. Breast cancer is very rare in men – only one percent of all breast cancer cases occur in males. An estimated 1,970 new cases will occur in men for the year 2010 according to the National Cancer Institute. Of those about 390 will die. New cases of breast cancer in women for the same period is estimated to be 207,090 with 39,840 deaths. (Source: National Cancer Institute)

Mr. Criss is now 64 years old and cancer-free. He says there is nothing embarrassing about a diagnosis of breast cancer for men, and that men should seek medical help immediately if they notice anything wrong. He remarked, “I never thought I could catch anything. And then there it was.”

12. Ah, you beat me to it

The lie that breast cancer isn't a concern for men kills people. Way to go, Fox News guy...

[sammytko]

18. My sister's male neighbor also has breast cancer.

[Blue Idaho]

Interesting thread.

8. Are you on TV right now? And you don't know what to say? Blame breasts!

Is America today suffering an epidemic of gun violence? And if so, what should we do about it?

Well .. I .. uh .. um .. y'know, I've noticed that when President Obama was discussing the Trayvon Martin case, he didn't say anything about breasts. And that troubles me. Breasts are an important part of American life today. You can't turn on your TV without seeing breasts. Magazine covers are filled with them. So we ought to be thinking about how they're related to gun violence. Guns don't kill people. What actually kills people? Maybe we ought to be looking at breasts more. Thousands of innocent women are killed each year by their breasts. So I thought, why isn't President Obama talking about this? And why are women so passive in the face of this threat? Because it's not guns that kill people.

9. Men have dicks they can't get to work properly in ADDITION to man boobs.

Usually at the same time.

[NightWatcher]

13. women have two breasts, men have two testicles

[City Lights]

10. Unfrickingbelievble.

Just when I think I've heard it all, some douchebag on Fux opens up again.

[Recursion]

11. Not only do men also have breasts, men also get breast cancer

Way to go, Mr. "Expert"! Men's awareness of breast cancer and the need to self check is low enough as it is.

[sakabatou]

14. Not surprised

I wonder why they're not talking about testicular cancer.

[valerief]

15. Nothing kills more than testosterone. All that aggressiveness. Testosterone kills FAR MORE

than any cancer.

[Zorra]

17. Are they liars, just plain old flat out stupid, or both?

Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. The American Cancer Society’s estimates for prostate cancer in the United States for 2013 are:

About 238,590 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed
About 29,720 men will die of prostate cancer

The American Cancer Society's estimates for breast cancer in the United States for 2013 are:

About 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
About 64,640 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).
About 39,620 women will die from breast cancer

19. wow. lots of chivalry going on there. The Bible says you gotta obey men

but I'm also not picking up any of your slack, woman!

The idiocy of FoxNews viewers knows no bounds. So the idiot brigade issues forth new crass bullshit every morning.

[NV Whino]

20. And Fox News have the dicks.

[Sheepshank]

21. But nuts should be free?

lets talk to a few airlines about that..shall we?

[HappyMe]

22. Whatever.

Because what gets said on Fox news means so much.

[NuclearDem]

23. Women have the breasts, Fox has the boobs.

[Motown_Johnny]

24. Since women make 77 cents on the dollar compared to men for the same job

They are paying more, as a percentage of their income.

[Spider Jerusalem]

25. Men smoke more, drink more, overall engage in riskier behaviours...

are more prone to heart disease, several cancers (including oesophageal, colon, etc) related to prevalence of lifestyle factors. Health expenditures are significantly higher for women, but that's largely due to two things: OB/GYN (prenatal/perinatal/antenatal care and childbirth, menopause), and the fact that overall women seem somewhat more likely to see a doctor if they're ill rather than just ignore symptoms and wait for it to pass.

[MineralMan]

26. MineralMan: Fox News has the morons, so they should pay

for everyone's healthcare.

[VanillaRhapsody]

27. Apparently those idiots do not realize that men can get breast cancer too!

[Jackpine Radical]

28. Fox has 2 kinds of "news"people:

Ones who have big boobs, and



ones who ARE big boobs.

[bluestate10]

30. Nothing new from the stupid network. nt

[Marrah_G]

[Liberal_in_LA]
