Subject: Rush Limbaugh - Heart Attack Posted by: Boldwin - [26451820] Thu, Dec 31, 2009, 06:33 I don't know yet how late I am in getting to this news but Rush Limbaugh is in a hospital in Hawaii due to a serious heart attack. On that hangs the fate of the nation. He could have been more helpful building that farm team. Hopefully he survives long enuff to correct that oversight. And won't it be fun to see how the new civility demonstrates itself in this thread? | |||||||

PV, the numbers are actually much, much lower. And of the tiny number of Canadians coming into the US and having health care done, about 80% were emergency cases. But is a damn fine story. A fiction upon which to base the projected fiction of socialist medicine in our future. | ||||||
| 26 | Boldwin ID: 26451820 Sat, Jan 02, 2010, 20:09 |
Thank's for the unnecessary wild goose chase. You and everyone on here knows perfectly well they come across the border all the time for services they've already paid for. In fact they've paid for theirs and their neighbors, and then they have to come down here anyway and pay again. Until you kill off Canada's safety valve and auxilary health system. Then they will be screwed. | ||||||
| 27 | Perm Dude ID: 5510572522 Sat, Jan 02, 2010, 20:21 | Actually, we only "know" what the fact say. Anything else is more than a "wild goose chase." It is a bad argument. | ||||||

everyone on here knows perfectly well they come across the border all the time What reliance on anecdotes in lieu of empirical statistics gets you. If the quantity is relevent then asking for figures (and some evidence to suport them) is not any wild goose chase. | ||||||
| 29 | Tree ID: 248472317 Sat, Jan 02, 2010, 20:26 |
Thank's (sic) for the unnecessary fixed. | ||||||
| 30 | Perm Dude ID: 5510572522 Sat, Jan 02, 2010, 20:27 | I should add that I've only seen a few studies on the question of Canadians crossing the border for health care, and nearly all say the same things as the link I gave in #25. That is, there are some (just as there are small numbers of Americans going to Canada) but the stories are largely anecdotal. | ||||||
| 31 | Boldwin ID: 26451820 Sat, Jan 02, 2010, 20:28 |
about 80% were emergency cases. - PD Really, no one can figure out why that's so scary? | ||||||
| 32 | Boldwin ID: 26451820 Sat, Jan 02, 2010, 20:31 |
Oh, now I've just got to find me one American applying for state run benefits they didn't pay into in Canada. Fire up the Google engine boys. Maybe they made an exception for Micheal Moore? | ||||||
| 33 | Boldwin ID: 26451820 Sat, Jan 02, 2010, 20:32 | I don't think Canada is quite as hard up for hard currency as Cuba so... | ||||||
| 34 | sarge33rd ID: 37036219 Sat, Jan 02, 2010, 20:36 |
I think you need to read the link PD provided above. I interpret that "80% of those Canadians" to be tourists who for whatever reason; SUDDENLY came under the need for care. (ie, car accident; heart attack, etc etc) | ||||||
| 35 | Tree ID: 248472317 Sat, Jan 02, 2010, 20:49 |
Oh, now I've just got to find me one American applying for state run benefits they didn't pay into in Canada. point being? | ||||||
| 36 | Perm Dude ID: 5510572522 Sun, Jan 03, 2010, 10:20 | #34: Exactly. B hasn't actually read the piece, in which the emergency cases were broken down a bit--mostly heart attacks and sudden gastro problems. | ||||||
| 37 | Pancho Villa ID: 29118157 Sun, Jan 03, 2010, 11:05 |
Limbaugh states: "I don't think there's one thing wrong with the American healthcare system." This is the most influential conservative in the US. Allow me to borrow Baldwin's quote in #31: Really, no one can figure out why that's so scary? | ||||||
| 38 | biliruben ID: 16105237 Sun, Jan 03, 2010, 19:08 |
My sister traveled to Canada for years to get her healthcare, because she couldn't afford insurance in the US. And Tree and Baldwin shouldn't be responding to each other's posts. Ever. This thread is rapidly sliding into the sewer. | ||||||
| 39 | Boldwin ID: 26451820 Sun, Jan 03, 2010, 19:46 |
Bili...that is a facet I was not aware of. I wonder how Canadian doctors price that compared with the pay Canada sets for them. [You notice I am not responding] | ||||||
| 40 | biliruben ID: 16105237 Sun, Jan 03, 2010, 19:50 |
Well, she was kinda a special case. She worked as a groom for years in Canada at Fort Erie and another race track, and kept up her residency and renewed her Canadian drivers license (fraudulently, I suppose) in order to continue to be eligible for insurance there. What lengths people will go to in order to get health care. | ||||||
| 41 | Tree ID: 248472317 Sun, Jan 03, 2010, 21:57 |
My sister traveled to Canada for years to get her healthcare, because she couldn't afford insurance in the US. i was legitimately asking for clarification of the statement. your answer helped. my brother lives in Canada. he is not a Canadian citizen. he gets the same free health care Canadian citizens do. | ||||||
| 42 | Boldwin ID: 26451820 Tue, Jan 05, 2010, 17:16 | But illegals won't be covered. You can bet yer life. Even says so. | ||||||
| 43 | Perm Dude ID: 5510572522 Tue, Jan 05, 2010, 17:18 | Sure. But is she an "illegal?" | ||||||
| 44 | Boldwin ID: 26451820 Tue, Jan 05, 2010, 17:22 | They don't care. | ||||||
| 45 | Perm Dude ID: 5510572522 Tue, Jan 05, 2010, 17:52 | But you do--it seems to be a label you are eager to use. | ||||||
| 46 | Boldwin ID: 26451820 Wed, Jan 06, 2010, 05:16 | The law seems to be an issue you'd like to avoid. | ||||||
| 47 | Boldwin ID: 26451820 Wed, Jan 06, 2010, 08:54 | He's back on the radio today. | ||||||
| 48 | Boldwin ID: 26451820 Wed, Jan 06, 2010, 08:54 | I want my product or service on that station today. | ||||||
| 49 | Perm Dude ID: 5510572522 Tue, May 25, 2010, 13:44 | It might seem ominous for an intellectual movement to be led by a man who does not think creatively, who does not respect the other side of the argument and who frequently says things that are not intended as truth. But neither Limbaugh nor Chafets is troubled... | ||||||
| 50 | Boldwin ID: 477201118 Wed, Aug 11, 2010, 21:29 |
What's stopping his heart these days... Save your fat jokes for the mirror. | ||||||
| 51 | Perm Dude ID: 5510572522 Wed, Aug 11, 2010, 21:44 |
good for him. Really. But people like Limbaugh, Larry King, Elizabeth Taylor, and Newt Gingrich have done far more to destroy the "fabric of marriage" than any two committed homosexuals in this country. | ||||||
| 52 | DWetzel ID: 33337117 Wed, Aug 11, 2010, 22:10 |
Wow, it's amazing how drug addictions can really take the weight off! (OK, so it's a cheap shot. If he's worried about it, he can email the moderators.) | ||||||
| 53 | Boldwin ID: 587221121 Wed, Aug 11, 2010, 22:23 | You are all welcome to provide your personal wedding photo that tops that one. | ||||||
| 54 | DWetzel ID: 33337117 Wed, Aug 11, 2010, 22:26 |
Couldn't afford nearly that much airbrushing, so I won't put you through it. O/U on the $200 million-ish divorce? I'll put it at 2 1/2 years. | ||||||
| 55 | Tree ID: 248472317 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 02:26 |
i'm sure Donna Newman charges more to photograph a wedding than most people's entire weddings costs, so it better be a good photo. nice side-stepping of #51 btw. what's this, Limbaugh's fourth marriage? | ||||||
| 56 | Boldwin ID: 587221121 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 04:18 |
than any two committed homosexuals in this country. I'll put it at 2 1/2 years | ||||||
| 57 | nerveclinic Leader ID: 05047110 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 06:58 |
Baldwin how many times has Rush been married? 4 times really? He should just convert to Islam so he doesn't have to divorce each time to move onto the younger model. | ||||||
| 58 | Tree ID: 248472317 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 09:42 |
than any two committed homosexuals in this country. I'll put it at 2 1/2 years well, then you'd be wrong. again. my friends Tom and Eric have been together for 15 years. Andrea and Julie - 9 years. | ||||||
| 59 | Razor ID: 57854118 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 09:45 |
Live vicariously much, Boldwin? 4 marriages? | ||||||
| 60 | nerveclinic Leader ID: 05047110 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 10:52 |
Boldwin if this was (insert any liberal) getting married for the xth number of times, wouldn't you be foaming at the mouth about how outrageous it is they've married so many times? I could care less, not my business, just funny how otherwise conservative piteous apostles completely rewire their moral code when it's one of their own marrying down the food chain. Constantly trading in the lease for a newer model. | ||||||
| 61 | The Left Behind ID: 66232012 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 11:32 |
It's also pretty expensive. I don't recall if Rush harps on people about marriages and divorce. Not a daily listener. Biliruben: I saw your request in the other thread about more info. Working on it. Busier than a bee right now. Should be a fun discussion. | ||||||
| 62 | Boldwin ID: 377491211 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 13:00 |
I have seen no evidence he initiated any divorce. For all I know he stepped into gold-digger traps, girls who had no willingness to put up with his work schedule and who were outta there as soon as they had punched their ticket. On the other hand I have not excused Newt. | ||||||
| 63 | Boldwin ID: 377491211 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 13:02 | How much foaming did I do towards Sarge? Not all that much. | ||||||
| 64 | Perm Dude ID: 5510572522 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 13:11 |
Actually, Limbaugh initiated his third divorce. And started dating Daryn Kagan a couple of months before it was finalized. Nice. | ||||||
| 65 | Boldwin ID: 377491211 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 14:26 |
Same source claims she moved out when he admitted the oxicontin story. Anyway you aren't going to play the game with me where every conservative has to be the third perfect man ever on the planet and every rapist/murdering/Dem president gets a pass because he never claimed to have principles and so at least he's not a hypocrit. | ||||||
| 66 | Perm Dude ID: 5510572522 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 14:37 |
Jeez, you can't even concede a point when it is in black and white. Read the link. Especially the part which quotes Rush on his radio show, saying " "Marta has consented to my request for a divorce..." | ||||||
| 67 | biliruben ID: 358252515 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 14:53 |
Come on, PD. Both you and I both know they are lifelong soul mates, and her tightness was as shocked as anybody to find out she lucked into a millionaire. | ||||||
| 68 | Tree ID: 248472317 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 15:02 | is her tightness related to the bumper sticker slogan you posted in the other thread? | ||||||
| 69 | Khahan ID: 373143013 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 15:05 |
personal wedding photo that tops that one. The only top I'm worried about concerning that wedding photo is the top right about the name "donna" in the lower right corner. | ||||||
| 70 | biliruben ID: 358252515 Thu, Aug 12, 2010, 16:45 |
I am probably giving rush too hard a time, but blowhards are not too be looked up to, and nobody should aspire to be a trophy wife. That they are being held up as a shining example of marriage shows moral failure at a societal level. | ||||||
| 71 | Boldwin ID: 4070134 Fri, Aug 13, 2010, 05:18 | Sure beats Tree's 'shining examples of "Ted and Al" and "Shirley and Edna". | ||||||
| 72 | biliruben ID: 34435239 Fri, Aug 13, 2010, 08:57 | No, it almost certainly doesn't. | ||||||
| 73 | tree on the evo ID: 4251457 Fri, Aug 13, 2010, 10:21 |
If you believe a thrice-divorced, four times married drug addict is an example of positive moral behavior over couples who have been together for a decade or more, it offers great insight into your own character and morality..... | ||||||
| 74 | Frick ID: 50730138 Fri, Aug 13, 2010, 10:27 |
Wait Tree. You're saying I shouldn't set Anna Nicole Smith as a role model for my daughters? She lived the American dream. Married the man of her dreams and stayed with him until death separated them. /sarcasm The irony that has been pointed out in the last few points is sad. | ||||||
