      I agree it's a rigged scam but not because people are going to the doctor too much.

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a certain fatman have a history of going to several different doctors for the same alleged ailment and having each doctor prescribe the same narcotic?

      Hate to say this but I'm in agreement with rush about this.

        He does indeed. And I'm pretty sure he went to the doc a lot like when he was getting his hearing fixed due to his drug addiction and overuse of Oxy. I'm thinking maybe he shouldn't have gone at all, it being a scam and all.

      It gets so tiresome shooting down his stupidity.

      But since we can't sit idly by while he dumb-ifies America...

      Re: "My own health care costs are less than the average American's..."

      Something tells me that the 300-pound, drug-addled Rush Limbaugh's health care costs are going to skyrocket to astronomical levels as he approaches what I hope is a slow, lingering death from natural causes.

      Just a hunch.

      Okay... let me see if I got this straight.

      First Rush said that there was no Health Care Crisis
      Now, the Health Care system is bankrupt and it's the government's fault?

      Only Rush can say this bile with a straight face and pretend to be serious.

      Why would Rush Limbaugh say the troops are going to the doctor too much? Why does Rush Limbaugh hate our troops?

      The Healthcare system is bankrupt? I thought it was one of our most profitable industries.

      If it is a "scam", then the perpetrator is the HealthCare industry itself, not the government.

      Rush is such a lying jackass.

      You ever think people shop too much?

      Retailers don't think so.

      You ever think people go to the doctor too much?

      Their doctors don't think so.

      You ever think that rush limbaugh goes "doctor shopping" for prescription drugs?

      Palm Beach and Dade County (Florida) prosecutors thought so.

      So don't I.

      Yeah, I can see this. But Media Matters, you have to think about this healthcare thing a little bit more. There's a post on the blog I read everyday American Solvent that explains why national healthcare can pose a threat to our country. http://americansolvent.com/2009/05/11/national-healthcare-equals-tyranny-the-basics-of-socialist-healthcare/

        Fearmongering paranoid tripe. Take it elsewhere, you're not gonna convince any regulars here with it - aside from the irredeemably stupid.

        And we know that a link titled "national-healthcare-equals-tyranny-the-basics-of-socialist-healthcare" is going to be an objective look at health care in America.

        Don't you have windows that are in need of plastic and duct tape and a bed to hide under?

      >>>They don't go enough. Perhaps to avoid deductibles and other costs, they put off going until they become much worse and much more expensive to treat.

      You got it Rush! You have said something that you yourself own as an intellectual property. The drug testing numbers are going down! Let's see what you actually think then.
