Won't Someone Think Of The Poor Health Insurance Companies?!?!?!
By Nicole Belle Wednesday Sep 23, 2009 5:00pmForget everything you've heard about the 45,000 people who die in the U.S. each year because of no insurance (for some perspective, remember that that is 15 times the number of people who died on 9/11, 10 times the number of allied soldiers killed in Iraq and 5 1/2 times the number of Americans killed from Hurricane Katrina. Every year.). Forget about the millions of un- and under-insured Americans in the richest Western nation on the planet. Forget about the highest per capita medical costs and among the worst outcomes of the industrialized nations. Forget about being dropped for pre-existing conditions, like pregnancy or acne as a teenager.
None of that matters. Those Hollywood elites, like Will Ferrell, remind us who the true victims of health care reform are: the health insurance companies. Who will protect them?
Oh, that's right, the Blue Dogs will. It's sad when such an obvious example of parody and illogic actually accurately reflects the thinking of our elected representatives.

to "richest nation on the planet"?
Just a guess.
that the doctor who repaired my broken jaw a few years ago in an ER refused to accept a referral from my family doctor to examine a growth in my mouth. Apparently he has something against my Blue Cross Plan people. This deprives my Blue Cross people their God given right to refuse to pay him after he treats me and then kick me off coverage because the doctor failed to sew my mouth shut permananetly years earlier.
I hope the Blue Dogs defend the right of my Blue Cross people to do their job to keep as much of my $400 per month as possible.
See? It is just this easy to frame the debate. Drop the pie charts and linguistics over "Death Panels"
Air this, and win half the debate in seconds.
I wish, I wish, I WISH that they would air this on television. Grassley, the ReThugs and the Blue Dogs would literally sh*t themselves.
move on should spend the money to rent a large screen and show it to all in attendance
hamm will convert every woman in the place
and all the closeted gay repukes too
I wish Will Ferrell's movies were as amazing as the short films he does.
... don't really use our healthcare system... Anyone who's had to wait over 3 months for an 'urgent' surgery only to have to go to the ER 3 weeks before your surgery date and then have an emergency surgery, know that we have serious problems now...
Tea party rallies railing aginst government health care are on Medicare and have had the good fortune on not having had to access the coverage their corpulent lifestyles will soon condemn them to need.
Where's the vid? In the space where the vid should be, I see nothing but a blank white area.
If you are covered.
I want one haha.
has no business being a business. None.
Remember the days when it was all nuns and charitable church extension? I'm a nurse and I can't stand what I see, we treat animals better than we treat people. I work in a neurological ICU and regularly care for people that have no coverage. We care for many patients that have a brain tumor that's usually mets from lung cancer and since they have no insurance they have a very difficult time getting followup care for radiation or chemo, if warranted, Our case managers and social workers try to help them get Medicaid, but it moves at a snail's pace here in Nevada. Death panels, yeah they exist, just not the way those moronic tea-baggers think they do.
the intelligent people have jon hamm
if i were a woman, hamm would make me wet
as it is, i have a total man crush on him and wanted him to be cast as green lantern
since that wont happen, he needs to be cast as some super hero and soon
that man was made to play a superhero
why they are so pissed, we have all the cool people.
They have Beck, Limbaugh, Kirk Cameron, Stephen Baldwin, Chuck Norris, etc.
He has replaced George Clooney on my "list".
My husband has a man crush on him too. He doesn't like much television, but he caught Mad Men one night when he got home from work (he gets home around 2 am) and woke me up to ask if I had seen it. He specifically asked me what I thought of the guy who plays Don Draper.
Usually I get a little annoyed if he wakes me up at 3 am...but this time, I sat up and talked to him for a while.
One of his comments was, " I don't understand what women see in Johnny Depp..but this guy should be a major star. He looks like what a man should look like." Had to laugh.
Your husband is right on. Jon Hamm is divine. Mad Men is the best show on TV too. It's amazing how much is said with just a look or silence. It's very subtle, and you don't have that on the boob tube too often these days.
this is the kind of embarrassingly not funny stuff i've come to expect from the likes of Dennis Miller and Victoria Jackson.
It's incredibly clever and funny. Maybe you should get out more.
