My favorite part is the subtle zoom when he asks when a private citizen has ever created anything of value in his garage…ha ha ha.
Being right is fun!

And they used to say youth is wasted on the young. Young man you are MUCH wiser than the educated souls in ALL of Washington DC.

perhaps his youth will excuse him for his misguided logic. I’m not sure how the government attempting to fix the problems created by for-profit health care companies (you know them….the real death panels) has anything to do with a new mass technology product.

Kevin @ 9:
Are you younger than he is, Kevin?
Because that’s the only thing that could possibly excuse your stupidity.
The young man is making a cute analogy for the purpose of satire. And our health care problems are not the product of “for-profit health care companies.” They started when the government got Americans hooked on having all medical expenses paid by insurance which they didn’t buy themselves.
Comment by Classical Liberal Dave — April 8, 2010 @ 1:56 am - April 8, 2010
Okay, here’s where I get a bit fed up: we don’t have a ‘healthcare problem’ in this country. There are problems with specific providers (doctors, hospitals) which should be dealt with under current sufficient laws (and by the ever-present lawyers.) There are problems with insurance concerns (vote with your dollars at another provider or see ‘lawyers’ again.) However, overall, there is an availability of care, an access to care (regardless of ability to pay), a level of technological advance, a level of pharmaceutical advance and application and an army of ready, willing, caring, concerned medical professionals in this country ALONE that rivals any combination of such from any other source, nation or government in the history of mankind. I know: I work in the medical field of physical therapy/rehab and I’ve seen every one of the things I just praised, IN ACTION.
I’ve never seen a person turned away from medically NECESSARY, life-stabilizing or supporting care. I’ve treated literally hundreds of people who were without insurance or a means to pay; some were given indigent care status, others were put on payment plans, etc. (And HAVING a medical bill is NOT an insurance crisis or healthcare problem…it’s called LIFE). Just because someone has a $100k bill for life-saving care given them doesn’t mean their going to prison for non-payment (though Obama’s new tax laws and this healthcare law looks to change that), they’re not denied further care because of an outstanding debt, nor are their heart stents and pacemaker subject to repo. It means they have a bill, period.
And while I’m on the fed-up path: when someone tells you a person was turned away from medically stabilizing, necessary care at a hospital IN THIS COUNTRY, based on an inability to pay (and they died, etc.)… call them a liar to their face. All jurisdictions in this country have a ‘public, county or not-for-profit’ hospital. These, as well as private hospitals are required by law to give medically stabilizing, life-saving care within their equipment and knowledge capabilities. PERIOD. (If you’re going to argue ‘by law’…then all of the new liberal laws mean nothing as well and nothing’s been solved. Also, why would an entity risk the bad press and lawyers?)
So, enough of ‘healthcare problem’…there isn’t one. There’s not an Easter Bunny either, ditto Tooth Fairy.
Now, there are people who dress up and pretend to be those things, but they’re people…just like this ‘healthcare problem’ is actually a health insurance issue at best and a socialist attack on the greatest bastion of human advancement, cooperation, mercy and care given to the sick and dying.

Sorry guys…paragraph 2, line 7: my fingers typed faster as my BP went up and my vision blurred and I misued ‘their’ for ‘they’re’.
Comment by rodney — April 8, 2010 @ 9:35 am - April 8, 2010
What is this “attempting” talk? A 2700 page secret bill rammed through on a Sunday by deceit, bribery, thuggery and brazen lies is an attempt? It isn’t an emergency precipitated by a roiling crisis and calculated to end the catastrophe?
How do the for profit health care companies reorganize and continue by not making profit? Are all the workers supposed to just break even paying for food, rent and clothing? No money for a video rental?
“The real death panels” are to be abolished? Will Obamacare provide whatever it takes to keep life going? Like botched abortions? Like alcoholics on their third liver transplant? Like a drug addict with AIDS and is the East Coast distributor of typhoid and herpes simplex type 2?
Man, oh, man Kevin. You sure do have a simple view of things.
Comment by heliotrope — April 8, 2010 @ 10:41 am - April 8, 2010
Well said, Rodney!
I’ve tried to make the point in the past that lack of coverage is NOT the same as lack of care. Governments and hospitals all over the country are going broke providing care to people who lack the ability or *willingness* to pay.
Comment by SoCalRobert — April 8, 2010 @ 12:45 pm - April 8, 2010
Thanks SoCal.
This health insurance boondoggle has me thus:
I sacrificed to get the education I have, for the job, home, 201k retirement (yeah, i got hit hard), relationship, etc….for the LIFE I LEAD AND HAVE. I sacrificed. Period. Me.
Now someone comes along who can’t spell “sacrifice”, one who refuses to cut back or cut out the 4 cellphones, the spinning rims, the nails and hair, the designer jeans, the steak, the Budweiser, the Marlboros, the nights out to Applebee’s, the vacations to 6Flags, et al, ad nauseum…and they don’t want to set up a $25 a month payment plan to the doctor or hospital THAT SAVED THEIR LIFE, and thus suddenly I’m responsible. It’s my fault and you want in my wallet.
I’ve had Hamburger Helper till I thought I’d puke. I’ve done without electricity for a week to time a bill and use the money to get my (then wife) her nurse’s kit for school (for our betterment.) I’ve worked 2 and 3 jobs at a time. I’ve not seen my loved ones except in passing on the highway on my way to those too many jobs. I’ve had fried bologna and rice. I’ve not been out to eat/movie/etc for 15 straight months. I’ve worn clothes Goodwill wouldn’t accept.
What am I entitled to? NOT A DAMN THING I DON’T WORK FOR, TAKE RISK FOR, INVENT OR INNOVATE, that’s what…nothing. And neither are you.
Now take your hands off my wallet before I read down past the ‘general welfare’ part you’re so fond of quoting and exercise a ‘right to bear’.

Thanks for all the nice comments and well wishing. Today Salon.com put it on their front page for half the day, and still going. And they did us the great disservice of making fun of it and calling it “dumb” in a nice long article.
Again, thanks for boosting this around the web. Much appreciated.

Here it is featured on the largest non syndicated radio station in the country.
I love Bill Handel. I’m not surprised they picked up on it:
