Rush killing it

This is why this man get so much respect not everybody agrees with him but dang is he not on point today about the difference between Healthcare and healthcare insurance.
He's been talking about. we are compassionate people and need find ways to help people with severe illnesses but we can't keep requiring insurance companies to insure a house that's already burned down.
At that point it's not pre- existing it just means you don't have insurance... but we call it pre-existing.... to me it makes perfect sense and I'm not a person who likes insurance companies but dang it's on point
He did a great job articulating Obamacare was an effort to put more people on insurance who really didn't need it so that the people who did need it could afford it thus empowering government without any real benefit to any of us

I've been saying this for 7 years. Rush just figured this out?

I loved todays analogy
Millennials bitching about killing Obamacare, but touting cord cutting
It's the same damn concept. Cable companies and health insurers shouldn't force you to pay for something you do not want, and have no intention of ever using. The whiny bitched only want free shite

This is not the first time rush has said this
Dumb assumption on your part

I love hearing rush compare people with down syndrome and heart problems to burned houses.
Wanna know a secret why Obama care will never be repealed?
Too many conservatives benefit from it.

Hopefully, Rush won't lose his BlueCross/Blue Shield. OxyContin is super expensive without insurance.

Rush has always said it. He has to re-iterate it every few months because people forget (because media and democrats always misrepresent).

Rush gets the crap from the left that he gets precisely BECAUSE he's good at what he does and is on point quite often.
How much shite a conservative gets from the left is inversely proportional to how big a threat they consider that conservative to be.
I mean, that really ought to be self explanatory.
That Rush has managed to remain in the left's crosshairs as long as he has is a testament to his talent.
Lots of others have come and gone in his time with nary a peep from the left or.........made a huge splash followed by disappearing.
I wish people could be honest when they know their opponent is effective for a reason but no. They'll just say it's cause his listeners are dumb(even though that's demonstrably false also)
I haven't listened to Rush in probably 10 years other than by accident. But reality is reality. They desperately tried to take him out........and failed.

He's been talking about. we are compassionate people and need find ways to help people with severe illnesses but we can't keep requiring insurance companies to insure a house that's already burned down.

I understand that this is just a cheap shot troll job, but he talks about all the time about how until Obamacare came out he never had insurance because he would always pay cash for any medical care he ever got. Now he has a policy because it's the law but I doubt he uses it.

Why should my insurance go up because an obese pain pill addict can't control his urges?

You won't stay young and healthy forever. We can't all be Youtube celebrities and get thousands of dollars in donations by starting a GoFundMe when we have medical problems with no insurance. The cost of healthcare makes insurance all but a requirement for the vast majority of Americans.
Paying 600 dollars a month for a plan with a 5,000 deductible is ridiculous though and doesn't benefit anyone. It is a complete and total clusterfrick. Single payer isn't perfect but it's the only reasonable way out of this mess. I'm a member of a few different surgery-relevant facebook groups and the majority of non-US residents are very glad for their nationalized healthcare system.

I heard this analogy yesterday. Can't remember if it was listening to Rush while I was going to lunch or if it was Michael Berry on my way home. But its the best analogy I've heard yet.

Rush Limbaugh has always self insured until Democrats forced him into your risk pool. You can blame Obama (but you won't).
Also the pill popping thing is from more than a decade ago. He went to treatment and paid all of his fines.

yeah Rush just figured this out today...

Same as mine shouldn't go up because some lard arse ghetto rat baby factory is too stupid and lazy to get a damn job so she can afford her own insurance instead of me paying for her and 8 baby daddy Medicaid.
Guess we're both screwed baw.

This is why trumpkins can't make logical arguments.
Rush didn't go and get some kind of individualized treatment for pain pill addiction. Most of the research and treatment comes directly from the massive treatment of poor addicts. So rush directly benefits from government subsidizing his illness.
Also, pill addiction causes immediate but also long term damage to people. Rush might have liver or gastro problems that he will have to use insurance. And - again - the treatment of long term pill problems is hugely under written by government care.
He's a government leech like all addicts.
I can't believe people buy the crap he says.
