Healthcare

Crisis? What Crisis?

Of course the wingnut talkers don't believe there are serious problems with America's healthcare system.

Rush Limbaugh can easily afford healthcare (including his impotence medication):

Limbaugh, the highest paid talk radio host in the country, reportedly signed an eight-year, $400 million contract with Clear Channel Communications and its syndication subsidiary, Premiere Radio Networks, in July 2008. According to The New York Times, Limbaugh's "$50 million a year paycheck represents a raise of about $14.4 million a year over his current contract, which was paying him $285 million over eight years and was set to expire in 2009."

And Glenn Beck:

Beck reportedly makes $23 million per year. According to Forbes, Beck's revenue sources include "a TV show ($2 million), a radio show ($10 million), books ($5 million), speeches (half a million), appearances ($2.5 million) and a Web site ($3 million)."

And Sean Hannity:

Hannity reportedly makes around $20 million per year for his talk radio show alone. The Wall Street Journal reported in July 2008 regarding Hannity's most recent radio contract with ABC Networks and Premiere Radio Networks: "[A] person familiar with the matter says Mr. Hannity was offered in the region of $100 million over five years."

No crisis. Not for them.
