 Health Care and All That JunkPosted on Jun 18, 2009
As if he didn’t have enough on his plate, President Obama is tackling health care reform. That’s right, America. It’s high time we put down our pancake-wrapped sausage on a stick dipped in baconnaise and start getting healthy. Check out this clip from last night’s “Daily Show.”

MATHEMATICALLY ILLITERATE? WHO, US?
The old saw has it that the lottery is a tax on the mathematically illiterate. But the apparent lack of interest in the health care debate might tell us that mathematical illiteracy is nearly universal.
2003 - US deaths by heart attack - 500,000; heart attacks, total - 1,500,000; silent heart attacks - 3,000,000 more.
Deaths by bee sting - 60. Deaths by terrorism - 23.
Comments about a (single payer) US healthcare system - Zero. Comments about everything else, including terrorism? Don’t ask. Gazillions, e.g. - Huffpo Iran - 49,943.
We are about to get the new health care system we deserve—Namely Sweet F___ All.—‘This _really_ is going to hurt’ - MMoore -

And we could have had this—A land of milk and honey where the crazy right wing is ‘Norwegian conservative guy’ @ 1.20. From Michael Moore’s Sicko—Now that hurts. -
