…I don’t see what all the fuss about health care is about,we all gotta go sometime…

People are living a lot longer. Does this cost? Duh

If I had known I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.

NAH…. I’m going to be one ugly corpse

From what I know of talk radio, it’s more likely Rush’s Cash-4-Gold card that paid off the bill for his excellent Socialist health care in Hawai’i.

Rush needs a surgeon generals warning advisory. Listening to his BS can be fatal to your health

The answer to this is easy. Just stay healthy and live forever.

Here are just a few of the things wrong with the American healthcare system after over 50 years of government interference:

1) Almost all individual responsibility has been drained out of the system so now everyone expects someone else to pay for everything, and if they don’t, it’s considered a “crisis”.

2) Thanks to the entitlement attitude, almost all once-common medical charity has been eliminated.

3) As two doctors recently admitted to my face, of COURSE they have to over-test and over-treat out, of fear of lawsuits thanks to swarms of trial lawyers, thus of course increasing costs.

4) State and Federal requirements have metastasized medical record keeping, reporting, and billing into a hungry monster. Gone are the days when a doctor’s office was a doctor, a nurse, and sometimes a separate receptionist. Now they need a fully-staffed office just to shuffle the paperwork.

BTW, a great vote of confidence for the Canadian system: The Premier of Newfoundland is coming to the U.S. for his heart surgery.
