I LOVE LOVE LOVE the twit-tards last year or so who were preaching "Just go to the doctor and ask for a 'trade' payment option, they will work with you and trade for service with food or chickens or something".. I've tried it with 4 dentists.. "My husband is an expert when it comes to tile,stucco,pools,waterfalls,landscaping.. you name it.. we'll trade his services, if there is something you need done, for a tooth extraction or even a cap"... I've offered my services "I'm a master organizer,cleaner and stager.. I can clean and organize your office to help make it more efficient and move around the equipment and furniture to make it easy to access..I come with references from a prominent local bankruptcy lawyer, a pediatric anesthesiologist, and an ex personal aide to Eisenhower John and Jackie Kennedy to name a few,but I can supply more."
the answer... "Sorry, but we only accept cash at the time of service.."
what fucking bullshit these people spread... You'd think every single one of them work in some public sector job where the healthcare was awesome or were on Medicare... which 9 out of 10 times they probably do so of course they don't care what other people have to go through..
I said it a long time ago.. Healthcare is the last bastion of the 'have's" over the 'have nots'.. in the days of yore, blacks and the poor didn't have diamonds,furs, and fancy cars so the rich had something to laud over them and be separated from them by... but anyone can get a Jaguar or a Rolex anymore..or a pair of Fendi sunglasses and a Juicy bag.. but healthcare? uh huh, that's only for a select few and they are holding on to the last status symbol we have in American..
and ya know what? Fucking let them.. They're right.. I can go to the er for tendonitis 4 times in a month and not pay the bill because hey, my credit is suck as it is so what's one more.. besides, the hospitals are wising up and issuing their own kind of 'medicaid' to pay for the uninsured.. so let the 50 million or so without anything keep using the ER's like that and running the costs up.. Let the supreme vote down the mandate.. let insurance be attached to employment while we're going the largest and deepest unemployment in decades... all it does is bring about a Universal system faster.. we're an embarrassment around the world because we're too fucking "american" to take care of the basic health of our people...
not for much longer assholes..
Howard Dean and Keith Ellison are right..
Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., amplified on Dean’s remarks, saying the overturning of the health care law would create an “opportunity” for the left to push single-payer.
“I wholeheartedly think that if this individual mandate gets thrown out, it is an opportunity for us to organize right away,” Ellison said. “We’ve got to go in, we’ve got to shape the debate right away, because the issue will be, ‘If not this, what?’ Well, the ‘what’ is single payer health care. We’ve got to prepare ourselves to literally pounce.”
He also cautioned liberals not to despair in the face of attacks from conservatives, and he blasted the Supreme Court for being controlled by the right.
“The right is going to try to beleaguer the left by saying, ‘See, you were unconstitutional and we were right all along,’” Ellison predicted. “And you cannot accept that nonsense. You gotta understand that this is the Supreme Court of Citizens United, Bush vs. Gore, and now this thing. And it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the right wing. We can’t look at what they do as necessarily the truth or any fair rendering. So let’s be ready to take maximum opportunity no matter what happens.”
