The JOKE is on the American public

(March 9) -- Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has thrown down the gauntlet. If the U.S. Congress passes health care reform, Limbaugh will leave the country to receive his medical treatment.

Specifically, Limbaugh told a caller that he envisions traveling to Costa Rica should the government, through a federal program costing upwards of $1 trillion, expand health care coverage to approximately 30 million Americans who are currently uninsured.

Costa Rica, as it happens, offers universal heath care to all of its residents.


WHAT A HYPOCRITE

Rush you are such the drama queen. Quite acting like receiving health care is Costa Rica is the worst thing in the world.

Costa Rica has a universal health care system (CCSS) that covers over 95% of its population and also has thriving private health insurance companies.

Oh yes, Mr. Rush, don't forget to tell the people in the U.S. that the quality of Costa Rica's health care system ranks higher than the U.S. and at a lower cost.

Hey, Rush, don't forget to let the American public that those very same health insurance providers that are fighting a universal health system here in the US actually allow their members to travel aboard for medical treatment because its CHEAPER for them also.

    Let's hope he leaves permanently and not just for healthcare.

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    I know this isn't a very enlightened opinion but nonetheless, I hope he dies in a pool of his own right wing vomit.

    It just makes me angry that people like Rush prey on the emotions of the weak, while he lives in a life of luxury and wealth. He doesn't even do any of it for the good of the country or for the people in need within this country. He does it for self promotion, a sense of power and control. He does it for his hatred of the Democrats and the and lost of the White House, he and others like him are willing to watch the people and families of this country come apart at the seams for nothing more than to be able to say - I TOLD YOU SO -. even though they bring nothing to the table.

    A trillion dollars to have Rush Linbaugh leave the U.S. and never come back?

    Sounds like a bargain to me ..... :thumbup:

    I seem to remember other drama queens talking about leaving the US if GWB was elected...they never did. I bet Rush never goes anywhere. None of those people have enough integrity to follow through.

    It'll be easier for him to get his drugs down there, and he won't have to send his housekeeper to get them either. :lol:

    Oh yeah Rush, don't let the door hit your big fat drug addicted behind on the way out. :twisted:

    He lives in a lap of luxary up the street not far from where I sometimes work in Palm Beach Florida. Believe me he's not leaving that lifestyle for anything as he loves to patronize the restaurants here in town. Costa Rica just wouldn't suffice for even the hellish idea of Health Reform, just another ploy to get a rise out of his people, nothing more.

    I will personally buy him a one way ticket to any other country if he never comes back. Hell, I'll even make it a first class ticket!

    Wouldn't it make much more of a statement to have your medical treatment in the U.S, but pay your own bills?

    This isn't about love or leave it. Rush isn't leaving the country. Rush said he'd go out of the US to receive medical treatment if we passed health care reform. He said he'd go to Costa Rica.

    The HYPOCRISY of his statement is that Rush is willing to leave the US for medical treatment if we pass health care reform - a partially - universal system. Yet, Costa Rica, the country he's willing to receive his medical care is under a full universal health care system.

    Rush is a MOCKERY to his listeners and rest of the people of this country because the very type of health care reform system Rush rants against is the same health care reform system he is willing to receive medical treatment for himself - only it is in a foreign country.

    here are some, I remember at the time some retracted their statements later on and what not or said they never said it or just never responded back to it.


    Robert Altman,Martin Sheen,Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, Rosie O'Donnell, Matt Damon, Ed Asner, Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Baldwin(but he denied saying it from the start)... There was also a few others here and there but I can't remember them all.


    Eddie Vedder - if little Damien II wins I will move to another country.



    I think its just an emotional response from people when they don't get what they want, I never really put much stock into it.

    Tim Robbins and Susan Saradon were two others. I think one or more of the Baldwins. Probably Sean Penn too.

    I know right? And the funny thing is that the whole "freedom of speech" thing doesn't exsist in most places in the world. He makes me sick, just like any extreme.
