Strong words and I do have to say I almost agree with him. Our health care system is the best in the world. It's our access to health care that is so terrible. Drug boy would have no clue about access to health care since he is a multi-millionaire. In fact his comments highlight exactly the disparity that exists in this country between the upper-class and everyone else. Fat Boy isn't quite smart enough to figure all this out, however. He thinks his comments push along more Republican talking points to help squash reform. Uuuummm no, his comments actually demonstrate the need for reform and fully endorse socialized medicine.
As Bob Brill makes note:
What Limbaugh, a powerful and outspoken opponent of the Obama Health Care Plan, failed to mention is the medical system in Hawaii is as close to socialized medicine as there is in the United States, and, much of the Democrats reform bill is based in the Hawaii system.Moreover, the Democratic bill just passed by the Senate is modeled after the health care system in Hawaii that was implemented in 1975!! And what did Limbaugh have to say about socialized health care, endorsed by Hillary Clinton, and passed by a Democratic senate? Look for yourself:
"The treatment I received here was the best that the world has to offer," Limbaugh said. "Based on what happened here to me, I don't think there's one thing wrong with the American health care system. It is working just fine, just dandy."
Limbaugh must have still been high when he made that comment because it is a total contradiction to everything he spouts while doing his tough guy, super macho, conservative American impersonation on the radio.
