FOX crawl line: "Doctor says Universal Care would make swine flu more expensive"
They just don't quit, do they?

No topic is beyond their shilling for conservatism. Disgraceful.

(I know...but they have it on at work, unfortunately.)

1. Well they do have a point
:sarcasm:

After all those fifty million out there without health care would be able to follow federal advise and ahem... go see their doctor

Imagine all the testing! I mean the kind that will go undone right about now

2. The vast majority of Americans are smarter than Fox "News" & the republic party
thinks they are, so Fox "News" can say whatever they like; the only ones still willing to be duped conned tricked lied to by Fox News & the republic party are a deeply dumb fringe minority.

And we just don't give a flyin' about them.

:)

3. LOL!
I'm convinced that if an asteroid was about to hit earth, FAUX would complain it was still too expensive to use NASA funds to blow it up.

12. Well, first they would insinuate that this is a socialist asteroid
that Obama launched to insure that his Muslim/Socialist/Commie/Dictatorship was able to take all the good Americans guns away. If the asteroid hits, martial law and they all lose their guns.

16. History channel with people in that type of field

Said a nuke is probaly the best way to destroy one but the one problem is there is an international treaty not to launch nukes in space.

4. Yeah, and proper nutrition for all Americans would cost even more.
Republican cost-benefit analysis: when it benefits them, they only point out the costs, not the benefits.

5. What Dr?
and why does he think that? What are his credentials? Is he an expert on the spread and treatment of flu viruses?

I'd like to know what his rationale is for making that statement. Just throwing out a statement like that without any follow up is pretty lame reporting.

7. How much is Swine Flu right now?
Many Americans can't even afford regular flu.

8. Fox is looking to cull the herd. They don't understand that it is

the ignorant poor that watches them religiously and votes against their own self-interest and would thus succumb to elimination.

10. The last 2 jobs I had
They had Faux Noise on. I complained at my first job. I told them they need to put the Weather channel on. That they couldn't have Faux Noise on in a cafeteria that I had to eat my lunch in. They told me that it was the only channel they got. I didn't push it any farther and I didn't spend much time indoors eating, but they probably lied. And my second job well I just didn't care as much because it was mostly campaign watching and I didn't spend much time indoors again. But I would think you have a right not to be exposed to that shit at work. I just like to complain when it comes to Faux Noise.

11. More expensive, but less dangerous.
They show their true colors here. They care more about the money than people.

15. Hahaha -

Healthcare costs of the Canadian SARS outbreak = $700 million.
