"We already have a system of Universal Health Care, it's called 'Prayer'....

[Ghost in the Machine]

..and sometimes the answer to your prayers is 'sorry, you're not covered for that'".....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Stephen Colbert strikes again! I actually busted out laughing at that...

Elizabeth Edwards was great, too... I wish John was on the ticket in November..

1. Yes, but she jumped the shark.

She said we wouldn't have a health care system similar to Canada or socialized health care but universal health care. Waa what!! If she's now advocating a health care system like Massachusetts, uhm, better catch up on the news Elizabeth, it's not working.

2. I didn't see the episode, so I don't know for sure what she means by it

But there has been an attempt by supporters of Universal Health Care to change the way the topic is being 'framed'

mcbush continually refers to it as 'Socialized medicine' in an attempt to weaken support.

For some reason 'Canadian Health Care' is getting a bad rap as well.

Maybe she's trying to change the way it's discussed,
I live in Korea, we have Universal Health Care.
It's great. I pay 68 bucks a month per person in my family and pay 4-10 per office visit.
I've had x-rays that have cost as little as 11 dollars.

Japan has better health care -- it includes dental coverage.

People need the system explained better. Unfortunately, it's become 'bumper stickered' like every other serious issue.

3. Jesus has the answer to all prayers.

"Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?
I’m counting on you, Lord, please don’t let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?

Everybody!
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?"


Thank you, Janis Joplin.
