Why does the Democrat Party want to mess around with the best medical system money can buy??? That's what I want to know!



After all, before we Americans go on tour in one of those despicable socialistic European countries, WHERE ELSE BUT AMERICA can we hire our own personal physician for $150K/month to give us IV general anesthesia every night before retiring?

And if our http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/09/lkl.michael.jackson.doctor.klein/">anesthesiologist that accompanied us on our last tour to socialist Germany will no longer comply, WHERE ELSE BUT AMERICA can we find a ethically challenged cardiologist to step up to the plate with the Diprivan (even if he does forget to bring along an ambu bag)?


Do you think you get this kind of personal care in Canada?

Or, God forbid, from the British Health Service?

Or from ANY of those degenerate socialist nations? Of course not!!




And if, (Help us Jesus!), Obama pushes through his plan to nationalize our healthcare, do you think that a government bureaucrat is going to approve your nightly Diprivan? (You better believe he won't!! My brother-in-law's neighbor has a cousin that used to live in Canada and needed IV Diprivan for his insomnia. He said "You should see the lines is Canada!!!!")


What kind of medicine do you think your going to get if we take all the financial incentives away?


Under Obamacare, would we be able to hire a board-certified-anything to give us our Diprivan, much less a board certified cardiologist?


And if our American for-profit live-in doctor falls asleep after giving us our nightly injection, or forgets to bring his ambu bag, or otherwise fucks up and kills us with his in-home conscierge-care general anesthesia, don't you just know it would be worse one we get socialized?

Hell, in those socialist countries you would probably never even get nose jobs!!





If there's anything we should learn from this, it's this:


We in America have THE BEST DAMN MEDICINE MONEY CAN BUY!!! . . . . . . Let's not mess with a winner!!!

1. do you really believe
we are the only country where this goes on?

We have to ask not just for universal...but a complete reinvent of the whole system

2. Rec--good one. On huffpo over the weekend I think, there was
a fine piece about MJ's troubled life and death by Jamie Leigh Curtis. It's quite a gem, very compassionate, and yet, doesn't pull any punches about his troubles and addictions.

3. Thanks. Perhaps MJ might be alive today if he'd had "socialized medicine"
