Another Reason To Pass Sweeping Health Care Reform Legislation
El Rushbo (via The Hill):
"I'll just tell you this, if [the health care bill] passes, and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented, I am leaving the country," he told a caller. "I'll go to Costa Rica."
Could there be a better incentive than this? C'mon Dems, what the hell are you waiting for?
By the way, if Rush's hyperbole isn't enough, he's hypocritical too (surprise!). Because, as I'm sure you may have guessed, Costa Rica offers Universal Health Care and ranked higher than the United States for their health care.
If you're a Facebooker, you're welcome to join 1,000,000 Facebookers To Promote Rush Limbaugh's Exodus From The USA.
respective media empires Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are reduced to panhandling. Sean never seems to make more than a few bucks on any given day but Rush usually winds up with a basket of tens. Sean asks Rush: how come you always seem to score so big. Rush replies with a grunt: It's probably your sign. What's it say. Sean says: Why it says I'm unemployed and I have a wife and kids to feed. What's yours say? Rush replies: I only need ten more bucks for a ticket to Costa Rica.

Good one!

...has national health care.
Duh.
all I could get with the gd link was sign in, then signin and read this, then sign in, read this and look at your settings, then all that plus here's your fucking page. Over and over again.
Could never get to the Drugbo page. This computer shit just sucks some days.
me-oww!
and it disappeared. Maybe it's being edited.
traffic to that site must have overloaded the internet. Facebook probably thinks it's a denial of service attack.

the power of the liberal/progressive blogs to help Rushbo get the hell out of Dodge. I know I'D contribute!! And I'm unemployed!

As to Mr.L.; we all wish him "Bon voyage" and happy health care days!!
If he would venture to Europe(God forbid) he would find every country
there with mandatory healthcare ----and the population is happy,
thriving and prosperous.!!! But that's too complex to grasp!!!
Not that she needs the help but the lady has friends. BTW mandatory is not the right word. It means compelled. I doubt if everyone in Europe is compelled to get health care.

If my repeating tasks bug was fixed, I might use it. However... NeuvaSync's business operation is a little suspect. I'm sure they're good and honest folks, but I don't have confidence that a bunch of people scattered all around really have what it takes to keep this going for a long time. No physical address, but yet they expect me to send them money? And give them access to my data (sort of)? Not sure about it.Storage Wellington
You are a joke. You obviously have no personal interaction with the "happy" people in Europe. You epitimize the gullible, mindless, people who think it's cool to attack those who stand for REAL freedom. Free from an oppressive government that takes equal care of bums and hard working people. Which are you? Are you so young and inexperienced that you actually buy the crap these ideologues are feeding you?
Because people fought hard for this freedom loving government that treats all people differently. Fuck equality! You tell 'em, coach!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
as opposed
to
UNreal freedom?
with the happiest people in the world.
Know where they are? Denmark. I am married to a Dane and spend time in Denmark every year. A socialist democracy. With socialized health care, maternity care, college and a social safety net.
Who's being fed ideology again?
You are fascist buddy! I don't like bullies like you your view of freedom is comparable to dictatorships and totalitarian governments. At least down the road the results will lead to a very few controlling the great overwhelming majority who are poor and oppressed i.e Russia as an example. Creating policies that basically say your on your own will allow the fortunate to pillage the unfortunate. It is not just about having the largest economy it is about the standard of living and the quality of life for the society as a whole.
It is ironic you bring up oppressive governments because your philosopy is barbaric and is nothing new and what has been practiced throughout the history of mankind. Government is not the real problem but you brainwash the Tea baggers with that lie the real problem is gigantic corporations and big money.
Well, have you? You're the kind of loud mouth that spouts all this bs about other countries health care systems all the while never visiting not one of them. USA! USA! USA! We're # 37!
Jumpin Jeebus, you're not very bright.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
Why would Rush Limbaugh vow to move to socialist Costa Rica to protest health care reform? Oh, right, sex tourism.

That drug-addled sack of crap is going to go to Costa Rica???

My wife and I were seriously thinking of skipping the country in about 5 years to a mountainside in Costa Rica. Good thing we have a plan B.

wheel struts of small planes in Alaska. Yep.
I would think that regaining control of their own party would be sufficient reason for a lot of Republicans to now vote for health care.
It has to be awfully humiliating for them to have to keep kissing his back side.
there is no reason to suspect they do not enjoy the experience. On the contrary, yearning is evident.

Hooray! Fat Bastard, a.k.a The Mighty Lord Limpballs, will leave the US, and go to Costa Rica if health care reform becomes a reality. This is the best news for the Obama administration. This will certainly make their battle for health care reform easier to win.
Thank you, Limpballs. Dreams really do come true!! Let me help you pack your bags.
But...
Limpy, are you aware that Costa Rica has universal health care? Are you aware that you will be leaving one country which is attempting to have such health care, to reside in another which already has it?
Hope Lord Limpballs doesn't complain about Costa Rica's "socialized Oxycontin"
of you to call him LARD Limpballs.
Someone should warn Costa Rica. Him being there could kill tourism.
Jabba the Hutt. More of a mental picture.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
Apologize to the real Jabba this instant!
He'll really go to the Dominican Republic.
... when his ass is in Costa Rica and the government doesn't boot him out as PNG.
Of course, we've had ol' fatass shitting on America for nearly three decades. The stench and the damage ain't going away any time soon.

. . . and a big, greasy man-boob in North and South America, respectively.
his talking points from about how all the American doctors were going to move to Costa Rica if America enacted socialized medicine... His hero, of course, Rush Limbaugh... :S
And now I know what to say back. :)
I've never seen change without a fire
but I warn you it starts in Florida.

Hell, if Limbaugh's corporate crime bosses have given him instructions to be against it, you know that it's good for actual American citizens.
Rul of thumb: Anything that the god damn fucking right wing corporate terrorists don't like is something Americans should vote for and support.
The irony of the drunken doper evening mentioning Costa Rica. 's health care is ranked superior to that of the United States.
I guess that the fat terrorist doper hopes that health care in Costa Rica will keep his drug supplys open.
I seem to remember the derisive sneering from the right back in 2000 and 2004 whenever a celebrity of the Liberal persuasion announced he or she would move if Bush was elected/re-elected.
What goes around comes around.
I just searched Facebook for Rush Limbaugh Exodus and it came up. I was able to joint no problem. They've got almost 5,000 members in one day.

Now this really annoys me! My dream is to win the lottery share it with my family and then move to Costa Rica. Lazing on the beach or fishing offshore to....Now if rush lives there it would ruin the whole experiance unless of couse we are on the same boat offshore anything could happen right?

As opposed to . . . what . . . public patients??
This repugnant, bloated adolescent uses a descriptor that is appropriate for a program or a corporation and applies it to fellow citizens who are neither private nor public but simply in need of medical attention. It is a tenet of all wingers -- right and left -- to misuse language to support their ideologies. This is a clear example.
"Secular humanism -- a fearless, realistic world view replete with doubt and scepticism that attempts to attain an unachievable state of equilibrium between and among the human qualities of reason, intuition, imagination, memory, ethics and common sense.

If only he was a
manprick of his word , I'd make a sign in support of health care reform and go stand on a street corner right now .Poor Rush is just afraid that with changes to healthcare he might end up a 'stiff'.
Did anyone get this in writing??? Geez I hope so. Don't want him to back out of this promise.

The key phrase in Rush's rant is: "... and it's five years from now ..." Hello? In 5 years, the old coot will be 65 and retiring anyway.
He is laughing, seeing how lame so many lefties are. He KNOWS Costa Rica has socialized medicine. He KNOWS he is going to retire in 5 years anyway. Only lefties would make hay out of this.
I just say: YAWN! What else is new?
for supporting this "reform" then maybe you shouldn't.
however, if you really want to shovel more money to health insurance corps. then you definitely should
of the deal obama cut with big pharma
can any body refresh my memory?
to buy brand name drugs from them, and Medicare will not be allowed to import cheaper drugs from Canada. There's more, but you get the gist. Mind I said credits, and as their drugs are overpriced anyway, big whoop.
Are the credits a tax write off? Of course they are. It's money they could have had. That's tax deductible, isn't it?
i was actually being facetious, but good info
Sorry, OT. The House passed this. If you think Calif is a blue state. Think again.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
that mean?
It looked to me like it was for the next 6 months.
What struck me was the red in the state of California. How many congress critters voted against this jobs bill. In Calif! This will be good fodder for the next election.
It also appears to me that this President is juggling a whole lot right now.

i can get behind that

. . . I'm really conflicted. I don't want Jabba the Rush to trash this lovely country, which has no military, socialized medicine, AND is one of the world's GREENEST countries. On the other hand, if enacting HCR enables the U.S. to EXCRETE that hulking p.o.s. Limbaugh, then I say, "Flush him down this way, folks!" Think of the compost possibilities!!
That didn't happen, did it?
He's living in Florida, IIRC.
His NYC apartment, complete with gilt murals, is for sale.
As long as he doesn't move north :)

You guys deserve the Socialism and socialistic lifestyle that you are advocating!!!!!! If it wouldn't effect the rest of us liberty loving capitalistic pigs it would be worth it to see you wish for the old days when some tyrant didn't control your every move and breath! Get over it being cool to go along with the "new movement" and come join the rest of us in the real world. One where you can build something and a better life if you're willing to work, and not be lazy entitled slobs. Are you really willing to sleep with the devil so you can be lazy and be entitled? Say what you want, but if this generation falls to this and liberty and "real" freedom that our forefathers escaped to this country for is lost then you and your children may never really ever experience true freedom again in this country. Notice I never mentioned anything about race or class. I'm a lower class individual who experienced the "American Dream" and now enjoy being one of those people who doesn't want the wealth redistributed. I'll fight a physical revolution to protect that for my grandchildren. Are you willing to experience that kind of physical revolution in this country. I represent the Majority of hard working entreprenural Americans who are willing to fight for our future. Think twice about messing with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Screw those "opposable" thumbs and the socialist, elitist horse they rode in on! It's time to fight for our prehensile tails, dammit!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Take our country back from those HOMO sapiens!
to a just share of the fruits of our labors
a democratically elected government is not tyranny
and you are controlled, bud, by people who live on gated estates that you will never see
your thoughts about revolution are as naive as they are dangerous
Screeds written with multiple exclamation points, little other punctuation and no paragraphs are usually a sign of an unhinged mind.
By the way, have you ever been to a country with socialized medical care? I bet not. If so, you'd wish that for your kids and grandkids.
There's nothing devilish about believing that health care should be a right. And trust me when I tell you that you ALREADY are paying for those uninsured among us. Those costs are passed on to you via hospital costs and your insurance premiums. Bet you didn't know that too.
By the way, I'm a gainfully employed person.
But thanks for playing.
Coach is on a roll you facist socialist! He worked hard to have the right to write like an American with all his thoughts in one paragraph! What are you English?!!!! Go back to London and your socialist king because what did commie facist England ever do any way- they don't know capitalisticism or good American ass whoopin or language!

Yep, I covet the opportunity to show my disdain for punctuation, facts, logic and actual experience in other countries in favor of brainless talking points, breathless insults and an excess of exclamation points.
Fancy pants Crooks and Liars blogger Nicole Belle hates the US American right to free speech!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She probably hates the other amendments, like the one that gives us our holy right to guns, and the one that gives us hard working entreprenural Majoritys the right to keep slaves who are bums any way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"who doesn't want the wealth redistributed" , what do you think is happening ? The biggest transfer of wealth in our history has been going on for the last what ten / twenty years , from you and me , working people , from the lower and middle class to the upper class and the top five percent . I swear people just love the 30 % interest credit cards , the $1,000 a month health insurance , one person , minimal coverage , yeah man ! I like it , I like it ! Don't take it away from me and my family ! Sheeesh . You represent the Neanderthal brainwashed morons in this country , that's who you represent and you ain't the majority . Too bad stupidity isn't a commodity , you'd be rich .
you are definitely a "lower class individual" but I suspect it has nothing to do with economics.

Just another empty promise from a Republican. :)
Sadly, his audience members are just programmable robots. They don't tune into Rash Limbo to hear his perspective so much as to download their thoughts for the day. Like any functioning computer, they can be run on one operating system one day, and a different one the next. When, upon the passage of some sort of reform, he says he didn't mean it, and how stupid liberals are for taking him literally, his audience will eat that up too.
And the proper response is, "No, Rash, none of us took you literally. See, we're not the ones in fantasy land powered by nothing but wishful thinking."
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
Hey Lush, how about "America, love it or leave it?"
Buy all means, move to some fascist utopia where the rich can run down people in the streets just for fun or out of boredome. Those mountains of millions you amassed for doing absolutely nothing but being a lying psychopath for the uber rich should entitle you to so much more than you have now.
Really, when are assholes like you gonna ever be happy? Most people would be estatic just to have 1/10th of what you make in a few months. Yet, you are not apparently satisfied? Unbelievable!
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.

Costa Rica has a national medical system and no military. He can't find a country to go to that doesn't have a national plan.
Somalia. It is the logical end and outcome of all the ideologies he spouts and the perfect match for his own multiple pathologies. Heaven for the sociopath, the psychopath and the malignantly narcissistic.
in Costa Rica. After all, the fat ass needs a source of cheap Viagra to allow him to follow his proclivities with young girls (and boys).
Costa Rica has excellent public health care, especially for getting oxycodone and ass boils you had to keep you out of Vietnam.
You mean anal cysts? Those are quite serious. Good for at least three deferments.
