An interesting take on healthcare
UFC Champion Brock Lesnar (R-SD) suggests that during a recent medical emergency if he would have stayed in the Canadian healthcare system at best he would be forced into early retirement “and would have to wear a colostomy bag,” and “At worst, I could have died.”
Harsh words for the President brought on criticism from the resident village idiot talking head at ESPN, Jim Rome.
Even the sports world is arguing about Mr. Obama’s flailing, failing health plan.
One of the mixed martial arts’ largest draws, Brock Lesnar faced nearly fatal health risks while in Canada. Unfortunately, the socialized healthcare outfit was without basic equipment to diagnose Mr. Lesnar’s issue.
Mr. Rome’s comments suggest that one should not use a “tiny facility” to judge a “nation’s healthcare system.”
Actually, we should.
The closest things to Obamacare in the United States that we have today is the Veteran’s Administration hospital system… which, by the way are horrible. For the most part we reward our nation’s heroes with ill equipped facilities and effectively no service in large geographic gaps in our nation. Of course, for those who would attend a “tiny facility”, who cares, right?
No wonder the backlash against Obamacare has such a populist tone. Rural agrarians against paying higher taxes as a redistribution to the president’s backers? Sounds just like the 1880s to me. Just add ACORN and unskilled labor unions to large banks and we have the completely corrupted system at the end of the nineteenth century.
Populism, so easy a ‘rassler can do it.
