Limbaugh to leave US

[riddler 0]

Rush says that if healthcare passes, he's going to Costa Rica. I hope not, because I don't want to see his fat, white butt in tent-sized swimming trunks on the beautiful beaches there.

Funny thing is, I remember when Bush won his second term, and a few left-wingers wanted to leave the country. I know a few that did. But the right-wingers were saying things like "America, love it or leave it".

Yea, I'm sure Costa Rica is thrilled at the endorsement

He never said he was LEAVING the US just NEW YORK. He said he would go to Costa Rica get his healthcare then return. I heard that argument on 2 radio stations yesterday and his actual sound clip 3 times yesterday, not that chopped up faked audio you posted.

It is amazing how the left likes to do that isn't it? Not only that but if they actually listened to the program, they might learn something.

Thank you for setting the record straight.

So he prefers to get his healthcare from a single payer system? Didn't he just go on for months about how government run healthcare is a disaster?

He can join Sarah Palin and her family and head to Canada for health care.

Yeah because when she was five, she was telling her parents where to see a doctor...

To be fair, I think he is saying that the U.S. government can't run anything right.

Apparently, he feels that Costa Rica knows how to run a government. Or at least their government-run healthcare is run correctly.

Maybe you could actually post a link verifying what you believe he said? You are correct in that I don't listen to him, but here's text of what he said:

Quote

"I don't know. I'll just tell you this, if this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented, I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica.

Perhaps, you inferred that this meant that he was leaving New York to go to Florida? Or maybe I am inferring that when he said "I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica." that he meant he would actually go to Costa Rica. Maybe I should have inferred something else?

I doubt very much people who currently have access to decent medical care would want to come up north for their health care. Canada's health care is great if you break you leg (if you do not mind waiting 4-12 hours in the emergency room waiting area). But there are definitely some major problems going on for more serious health care needs.

etc, etc, etc ...

These problems are not going on everywhere, but would you be happy if one of your relatives died in the hospital because they were neglected by the hospital staff? Would you be happy if one of your relatives died because their condition was misdiagnosed.

Canada's socialized health care system is not the system you should be trying to emulate.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

That is most likely true. It's "access to decent medical care" that's the trick.

>These problems are not going on everywhere, but would you be happy if

>the hospital staff?

Nope. I'd be even less happy if they died because they could not get to a hospital to begin with.

She probably did not. Why do you think she did? Most parents decide where they want to take their children, not vice versa.

I do listen occasionally. And each time I've had my views of him confirmed. He's an arrogant, loud mouthed, hypocritical ideologue (based on a failed ideology) who has learned that he can charge "confiscatory" advertising rates to advertisers by appealing to the political gamesmanship fetishes of an audience of head-nodding, table pounding dittoheads. It's a form of brain draining entertainment that's quite lucrative for him but bad for the country. "Radio crack" if you will

He said he would leave florida for another state with less taxes.

He said he would go to costa rica for the healthcare only, not to live

He could go to any one of 40-some countries with "socialized" medicine where the life expectancy is longer and health care is cheaper than in the USA.

(Not that having him live longer is necessarily beneficial)

I've listened to him, and I pretty much agree with you. With the exception that he is an ideologue. I tend toward libertarianism so I should be sympathetic to some of his views (although his delivery is not good) but he tosses these aside to become a political hack for Republicans when it is convenient. I find him neither entertaining nor insightful.

Nor you. Im probbaly gonna send you into cardiac arrest, but I think rush is out there myself. I listen to him with a heavy filter on, and for mostly pure entertainment when he goes on his rants.

What!? So he thinks the rest of the world is better than the U.S.? But that's just like Obama, isn't it?

[airdvr 210]

Man you guys chopped this all to hell.

He has been talking off and on to a high ranking official of an insurance company who's plan it seems is to offer insurance to US citizens from a company based in Costa Rica. Coverage would include airfare to CR for doctor's visits and such. Never said he would leave the US, just go to CR for his covered items if that's what it comes to.
