Newfoundland Premier Williams set to have heart surgery in U.S. / Where's "Tubbo" Moore?

You don't see Michael Moore filming a head of state traveling to stateside in order to have a world renowned cardiologist perform a heart procedure now do you?

N.L. Premier Williams set to have heart surgery in U.S.

"ST. JOHN'S, N.L. -- Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams will undergo heart surgery later this week in the United States.

Deputy premier Kathy Dunderdale confirmed the treatment at a news conference Tuesday, but would not reveal the location of the operation or how it would be paid for.

'He has gone to a renowned expert in the procedure that he needs to have done,' said Ms. Dunderdale, who will become acting premier while Mr. Williams is away for three to 12 weeks."

Unreal the money that fat ()*&^*& made off bashing his own country in a time of war, causing unnecessary and unfounded panic over something that's already the best the world has to offer with his commie propaganda. 

You can bet his lard filled ass he'll be using American medical facilities  too when his cheeseburger habit finally clogs his arteries full of fat-man-goo we all have a bit too much of, although none like him.

That's the real problem; not the medical system, our eating habits.

Christmas Mother and baby 10 Days After Near Death Experiences

This miraculous story from last week revisited as the mom and baby are fine a week later. Think this is how it'll be when Obamacare starts and onward?

Think again, as the red tape would have killed both mother and baby... and anyone who's ever dealt with medicare knows that.

Mother and baby survive near-death experiences - CNN.com: "(CNN) -- The nightmare began around 12:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

Mike Hermanstorfer stood next to his wife's hospital bed, stricken. He touched her arm. The skin was cold, ashen. Tracy Hermanstorfer's heart had stopped.

'I opened my hand and her arm just fell out of mine,' said Hermanstorfer. 'She was already gone.'

Moments later, the staff at Memorial Health System in Colorado Springs, Colorado, sounded a Code Blue -- resuscitation needed for cardiac arrest. They would have to act fast: Tracy Hermanstorfer, 33, was also in labor. Her baby was perilously close to death."  continued

When Was The Last Time This Congress Worked on a Freakin Saturday ? You Know Something's Up Now....

 Just the fact these crooks are working on a Saturday tells me all I need to know about this congress, they've blown out of town as quick as possible all year until this day, so with all the stuff going on that didn't warrant blowing their weekends wasted on the people's work they must be screwing us.

You know damn well they're trying to sell ObamaLosi Care to the "no votes" bribing them with "everything which way to Sunday", which we need to watch like hawks once they flip, in order to see what their prices were ... all the while the press is at their weekend homes in the Hamptons over the weekend staying out of their hair ..........except Fox.

My Yahoo!: WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama made a last-minute personal appeal to Democrats to pass landmark health care legislation Saturday as the House opened debate on a bill to expand coverage to millions of the uninsured.

Emerging from a closed-door meeting with the president, Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicted passage of the bill later in the day, adding, "We will pass health care reform."

"He came here to say, `This is what we said we would do in the campaign. Let's do it,'" Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said after the meeting

Obama made his trip to the Capitol complex as abortion rights lawmakers voiced anger at a last-minute concession granted to foes of the procedure, who were given a vote on their proposal for stronger restrictions on abortion coverage.

"There is a risk" that some in the Pro-Choice Caucus would vote against the legislation if the stricter curbs are adopted, said Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo.

The bill would cost $1.2 trillion over the next decade. It would provide health coverage to tens of millions of Americans who don't have it now, require most employers to offer it to their workers and prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage based on a person's medical history.

"The status quo is unaffordable and unsustainable. Health care reform benefits all of us," said Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., as debate opened on the House floor.

House passage of the bill is crucial if Obama is to accomplish his top domestic priorty and fulfill the biggest promise of his campaign last year. But the legilation still faces multiple hurdles and a Senate vote on it might not occur until next year.

Republicans were united in their opposition to the bill.   continued

And if they wanna be re elected, they had better stay opposed to it, so if and when it passes, the dems own it...

That way,  when it collapses the economy among other unintended consequences of  this screwed up attempt at buying votes in exchange for free health care for mostly people who don't need it ....(taking it from those who already do, and I know because I'm one of them) the conservatives can remain free from voter's ire on both sides when they shut it down eventually do to it's astronomical costs and fraud.

PS Notice the spelling error in the last AP paragraph above where they spelled  legislation incorrectly....nice....

60 Minutes On Medicare Fraud, 20 Million Worth (video)

This was a good segment from 60 Minutes on the massive fraud in Medicare presently (not that it finds itself at the top of my things to watch list since Dan Rather did his part in killing off old Journalism with his "Fake But Accurate" Bush derangement docs)  but every once in a while they actually do some work reporting massive fraud and criminal waste in the behemoth that is our government.

Maybe one day they'll vet Obama too....

"Tony" shown in this clip claims he stole more than $20-million dollars from the Medicare system before he was arrested, remove this from the system and all of a sudden health care costs get lower and lower. Then, institute Tort reform and the health care problem is solved, simple as that.

Oh By The Way...Harry Reid Admits Health Care Bill Will Cost $2 TRILLION!!

"He talked about CBO saying that there would be $54 billion saved each year if we put caps on medical malpractice and put some restrictions — tort reform — $54 billion. Sounds like a lot of money, doesnt it, Mr. President? The answer is yes. But remember, were talking about $2 trillion, $54 billion compared to $2 trillion. You can do the math. We can all do the math. Its a very small percent."

Michelle Obama Says US Health Care Sucks? Oh Yea?

And I say to her, the US healthcare system has not only saved my life once in 1988 from a brain tumor but also helped me extricate myself from 2 1/2 years recently spent in and out of a wheelchair acquired from symptoms of advanced Multiple Sclerosis, an incurable disease that's somehow now seemingly in full remission, allowing me to walk again thank the lord above after much much praying, work and doctoring..

Top that Michelle

So my question to this woman is this... "what the fuc& does she and most of these congresspeople know about the American health care system first hand from the trenches?..... Aside from in her case two obviously uneventful pregnancies as she thankfully chose not aborting them like 50 million other liberals from that ideological world of hers preferred to do whenever convenient.?"

As a fully healthy woman who's obviously benefited not only personally but financially from the US Health Care system as an employee of a private hospital, you'd think some gratitude would be in order. When in fact it's herself that is a big big part the problem, inexperienced paper pushers and politico's like her making hundreds of thousands of dollars as overpayed and priced executives, in her case solely because her husband is/was/whatever a politician..

We don't hear her talking about that in this little speech of hers yesterday now do we?

Well you can read all about it here on this blog, just Google Michelle/ start with this one....

Of course not, instead she stands here and talks about something of which she has absolutely no personal experience and if it were up to her and her inexperienced husband people like me would be left to die a slow death in some government run nursing home instead of being a living and walking tax paying musician and 911 operator not to mention graphic designer full time each and every day.....

So there you go, as now you know part of the reasons why I dislike the Obama 's so much, they and their liberal ilk place no value on the life of others and essentially want the unborn, elderly, disabled or ill people like myself dead rather than allow our doctors to choose what therapies and meds we receive and when, instead leaving those decisions to be made by people like his freaking wife impaneled on, yes, Sarah Palin was right, Death Panels?

Not in this lifetime, my third one thank you very much to GOD, my parents, private Dr's. and Blue Cross Blue Shield //in that order.

Welcome To Socialized Medicine ..."Woman gives birth on pavement 'after being refused ambulance"

We'll see many headlines like this one coming in our future should the Obamanites have their way and America chooses to ramble down the path of socialized government run health care you can bet your bottom dollar....

And while our present system is certainly far from perfect and has much to be repaired and changed before becoming such, it's far far better than the "roll your own" health care experienced by this MUSLIM British woman, who couldn't even get a damn ambulance to bring her to the hospital to give birth to her child, using the nearest sidewalk instead.

That after some hospital dipwad told the woman to hop in a hot bath and then put on her running shoes and make her way a short distance down the road to the hospital herself....which would be fine advice were the woman not in labor...Morons...

Here's the new mother on the left with baby along with the passerby who helped her deliver the little sidewalk baby who should go on posters as the posterchild for what's wrong with Government run health care. That of course would be the government.

Gee, I want that health plan, don't you?.......... Not.

Woman gives birth on pavement 'after being refused ambulance'

Mail Online: "A young mother gave birth on a pavement outside a hospital after she was told to make her own way there.

Mother-of-three Carmen Blake called her midwife to ask for an ambulance when she went into labour unexpectedly with her fourth child.

But the 27-year-old claims she was refused an ambulance and told to walk the 100m from her house in Leicester to the city's nearby Royal Infirmary."

Her daughter Mariah was delivered on a pavement outside the hospital by a passer-by, just before ambulance crews arrived.

Today the Trust that runs the hospital said it would look into any complaint made about the advice and care the 27-year-old received.

Ms Blake said she started going into labour at about 7.15am on Sunday, August 2.

She said: "I phoned up the Royal Infirmary, it's just across the road, and they said to go into a hot bath, and then to make my way over there. Read more:
