A friend of mine brought up an interesting question last night about oxy rush
so the oxy addict loses his hearing due to his massive drug use. Who paid for his cochlear implant? Was it his insurance company or was it out of his pocket?

Do insurance companies cover the cost of something that was caused by addiction?

If it was out of pocket, I'm sure old oxy rush would had benefited from a national health care plan that he condemns so often.

1. He actually makes enough to pay out of pocket.

Unmarried. No kids. Big house all to himself and his cat. A dittohead dream.

14. Huh, usually megalomaniacs like Rush don't like cats. They are too
independent for them, not like subservient dogs. Most of the bad guys in history like Napoleon, Hitler and Stalin all hated cats but kept favorite dogs.

2. No indication that his drug addiction was what caused his
deafness, is there? I'm not aware of any. All I saw was that it was an autoimmune deficiency. I mena, the guy is a corpsefucking douchehammer and all, but not all his health problems were brought on by his being a junkie.

7. He even admitted it himself because there was a scandal about his drugs
He would make his housekeeper go out and buy Oxycontin and he was addicted and went to rehab. It was all around the time he had the operation because he was going deaf. Oxycontin causes deafness with prolonged use.

12. He announced on his radio show
that he was, for all practical purposes, deaf in 2001 and thereafter had the implant.

The announcement of his addiction did not come until two years later, in 2003.
