      Limbaugh would say black is white if he thought it was the opposite position of democrats.

      As long as Rush has doctor's to shop and write his multiple Oxycotin prescription, there is no crisis.

      So access to healthcare is available to everyone? Try again Rush.

      The crisis is that the health care providers are like South West Airlines

      SWA only provide flights between cities that they can be profitable with. Los Angeles to Las Vegas... no problem. Bakersfield to Nashville... not so much.

      Health Insurers only provide health care to those who they think they can make a profit from. If there's a chance that they will lose money, No Insurance for you

      That is a Crisis Rush
      Health Care shouldn't be for Profit

      If you have or had any of these illnesses you cannot get healthcare:
      - Diabetes
      - Cancer
      - Brain Trauma from an accident

      The cost of premiums for business doubling and tripling every 4 years isn't a crisis?
      Why is it that Insurance companies can double costs and provide less coverage, but when a cigarette or alcohol tax goes up by 10% the Republicans go nuts?

      No crisis... keep taking your prescription meds Rush

      Swine flu is not a health crisis ? Finding black widow spiders in grapes shipped to grocery stores is not a health crisis. Which health crisis are you talkng about ? Actual diseases or bean counters at insurance companies ?

      Yeah, it's no crisis as long as you don't have to see the suffering yourself. 50 million uninsured...what are the odds that one day you might actually run into one of them? I know, I know, you'd have to leave your booth, and talk to someone who isn't your cat.

      Day to day, an average of 55 people DIE due to lack of available/affordable health care.

      Anyone against national health care is pro-DEATH. It's really that simple.

      I wish the Republicans would just be honest about their priorities. In their minds, profits are far more important than making healthcare available to all citizens. If they would just come out and admit that, I might respect them a little more.

      Doctors, Hospital Corporations and Insurance Companies have grown fat and complacent on the current system... why would they want to change it? Their lobbyists are bribing Congress as we speak so that they won't stop the gravy train.

      Health Care reform? Forget it.

        Republicans screech about what universal health care will deny or exclude yet never mention those consistent in paying their high premiums for years, get denied or worse yet cancelled by their Insurance Co.

      The only recession proof industry has been healthcare.

      It's good to know that even during economic downturns, the pharmaceutical and insurance companies can still turn a healthy profit on the sick.

        He wouldn't let you in free. What good is having all that money if your RELATIVE status doesn't rise commensurately? How does he tell himself that he's better than those not in his 'class' if his money doesn't obviously leave him substantially better off in very practical ways.

        It seems to me that Limbaugh is mostly class conscious. More so than race or any other factor. Of course they're intertwined.
