Robot Insurance Now!

Here's Rush Limbaugh scaring/deceiving old people with nonsense and fear-mongering:

And the Obama administration eats old people's medicine for fuel. The reality is that the end-of-life counseling is an optional benefit. If a senior citizen doesn't want to participate, they don't have to. Instead, they can pay an attorney exorbitant fees to assemble a living will. Or they can do nothing at all.

Because robots are strong.

Adding... Okay maybe robots are dangerous.

Rush's demographic is on life support already, and he's scaring them into an even earlier grave. Smart move, Rushbag. Real smart. [sic--I know how 2use adverbs!]

Well I wonder what THIS is.

from CNN:

Deal reached to move health care reform forward in the House, according to conservative Democrat leader.

"Conservative Democrat leader"
Bet this is gonna be good. right.

Maybe a response to shit like this is to tell people how much I am paid in commission for every health insurance policy I sell. It's fifteen percent, by the way. I get paid fifteen percent of all premium dollars I collect. I'm just one link in the chain.

I also consider myself underpaid to deal with health insurers. But yeah, fifteen percent, like clockwork, into perpetuity. One link in the chain.

You can count on it that if one trillion dollars in premium are collected, $150 Billion of that goes to pay commissions to ONE link in the chain.

You can buy a lot of robots with $150 Billion.

"Oh I'll never buy a Chevy or a Chrysler"

It's nice to know that you have no problem fucking over average, wage-earning Americans because you hate Obama so much. That's awesome. Let's have a hand for The Greatest Generation, ladies and gentlemen. They never tolerated no darkies telling them what to do. This country wasn't built by white folks so a black man could order us around.

She had no idea that he really didn't agree with her, but was happy to let him use her while he made his little speech. You know, like he liked her or something.

It amazes me how willfully delusional people are. Not Rush--nothing he does amazes me. But, seriously folks: end-of-life counseling exists already. And nearly everyone knows this, no matter what they say. Hell, I'm not even 30 and my doctor was like, make a living will!

People die. No amount of health care reform will change that fact. Having plans and resources in place to help you deal with that eventuality is a good thing.

GOP: All fear, all the time.

Don't they ever get tired of being freightened 24*7? Seems like being afraid all the time would be pretty hard work to keep up.

Keep puffing that Stoogie, Rush...the Insurance companies will put your premiums through the roof soon (deservedly) for indulging in such an unhealthy habit...

If this dadgum Health Care Reform doesn't pass, here in the hell will we get that tasty Soylent Green?


(thanks, Grace)

I also like that he managed to tie in how Obama will use all the money he doesn't have to spend on old people (after he kills them) to make all the young people "wards of the state".

It's like conservative-persecution-fantasy Mad Libs!

Throw in some lines from an Alaska-cruise brochure and you've got a Palin resignation speech.
