The irony is overwhelming given that Costa Rica has a universal, single payer Health Care system with large government ownership over Health Care providers like Hospitals.

Another Reason To Pass Sweeping Health Care Reform Legislation
El Rushbo (via The Hill ): "I'll just tell you this, if [the Health Care bill] passes, and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented, I am leaving the country," he told a caller. "I'll go to Costa Rica." Could there be a better incentive than this? C'mon Dems, what the hell are you waiting for? By the way, if Rush's hyperbole isn't enough, he's hypocritical too (surprise!). Because, as I'm sure you may have guessed, Costa Rica offers Universal Health Care and ranked...

Finally, a Silver Lining in Our Health Care Reform Cloud

If health care reform passes.......
.....Rush Limbaugh will move to Costa Rica. Commentary By Ron Beasley There is at least one good reason to pass Health Care reform - Rush Limbaugh will leave the country . CALLER: If the Health Care bill passes, where would you go for Health Care yourself? And the second part of that is, what would happen to the doctors, do they have to participate in the federal program, or could they opt out of it? [...] Limbaugh: My guess in even in Canada and even in the UK, doctors have opted out. And...

Limbaugh Inadvertently Endorses Costa Rica's Government Health Care System
Limbaugh Inadvertently Endorses Costa Rica’s Government Health Care System Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh — who has been one of Health Care reform's most vociferous opponents — warned his loyal troop of “ditto heads” that if Health Care passes, he'll leave the country for Costa Rica . “I'll just tell you this,” Limbaugh said to a concerned caller. “If this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented - I am...

Rush Limbaugh Should Maybe Read Up On Costa Rican Health Care
I see that radio talker Rush Limbaugh is indulging in one of his patented tantrums, telling listeners that he'll leave the United States if Health Care reform passes . I don't know. I'll just tell you this, if this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented -- I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica. I'm sure there are a lot of people whose motivation to pass Health Care reform just doubled. But, really, there's no need for Limbaugh to go anywhere. If he...

Mitt Romney: Obama Health Care Plan NOT Like Massachusetts Plan
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney insisted on Sunday that the Health Care reform plan he implemented in Massachusetts had no similarity to the one President Obama is championing, in part because Romney's was state-based and Obama's is a national overhaul. The logic was a bit tortured. Romney, appearing on "Fox News Sunday," defended the Universal Health Care system he put into place as governor as the "ultimate conservative plan," the "ultimate Pro-Life effort" and one that is "working...

) explores Health-care systems around the world in an effort to understand why the U.S. remains the only first world nation to refuse its citizens Universal Health Care. Neither financial prudence nor concern for the commonweal explains the American position, according to Reid, whose findings divulge that the U.S. not only spends more money on Health Care than any other nation but also leaves 45 million residents Uninsured, allowing about 22,000 to die from easily treatable diseases. Seeking...

Mitt Romney dogged by health care
ormer Gov. Mitt Romney ’s presumed 2012 presidential campaign is getting off to a bumpy start as his signature Bay State Health-care plan has come under new fire from conservatives because it subsidizes Abortions. Romney’s landmark 2006 Universal Health-care law allows low-income residents covered under Commonwealth Care to get taxpayer-funded Abortions. Abortion has become a lightning rod in the highly charged battle over President Obama’s Health-care push. “Every...

Hillary Clinton learned 'hard lesson' on health care, she wrote to Moynihan
Hillary Clinton has long admitted to bungling Universal Health Care in 1994, but a never-before-seen note she penned to the late Sen. Daniel Moynihan reveals how deeply she thought the failure hurt her - and the nation. "If I had listened to you about Health Care in 1994, I would be far better off today - but more importantly - so would the nation's Health Care system," Clinton wrote Moynihan in October 2000, near the end of her New York Senate campaign to succeed the retiring...

Mitt Romney's lies, lies, and staggering health care hypocrisy

Rush Limbaugh May Have Just Given Health-Care Reform the Votes It Needs
"I'll just tell you this, if this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica." — Rush Limbaugh, on his radio show yesterday, apparently unaware that Costa Rica has a nationalized Health-care system [ Swampland/Time ] By:

Re: Finally, a Silver Lining in Our Health Care Reform Cloud
David , I wonder why Rush Limbaugh didn’t say he would go to Costa Rica to get his Drugs when Bush and the Republicans in Congress passed the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003? As I asked in “ Health Care Hypocrisy “: “Why all the Republican opposition to Health Care reform now?”

The single best reason to pass health-care reform
"I'll just tell you this," Rush Limbaugh says . "If this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented -- I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica." You hear that, guys? Health-care reform will not only cover 30 million Americans and reduce the Deficit, but it'll also get rid of Rush Limbaugh! This is, like, the best bill ever !

Rush Limbaugh Recommends Universal, Nationalized Healthcare - In Costa Rica
Rush Limbaugh has threatened to move to Costa Rica if the Healthcare Reform package is passed into law. As Jack Turner points out , that’s an excellent reason to pass Healthcare Reform — getting rid of Racist Rush once and for all. I’m sure Limbaugh chose Costa Rica for its sunny weather & tropical resort living. It’s popular with wealthy retirees in part not only because the sunshine but also the affordable, Socialized Medicine. Costa Rica, unlike the United...

Baucus: We Must Reform Health Care Now
For hardworking Americans who can’t afford coverage, too often the only option is to postpone Health Care until the last possible moment. Unfortunately, that’s when Health Care is the most expensive. Last week, the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems reported an 18 percent jump in the number of Uninsured people coming to emergency rooms for costly, last-minute Care since the Recession began. Uninsured Americans seeking nonemergency services jumped 15 percent as...

The Real Reason Our Ancestors Came Here Was to Get Away From People Like Sarah Palin and Bart Stupak -- Barbara's Daily Buzz
BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE Palin Crossed Border For Canadian Health Care If this is real, is it fraud? I thought one had to be Canadian to benefit from Canada's Universal healthcare! How like the Repuglicans to tarnish that which they have taken advantage of; how like a Repuglican to use and then abuse the healthcare given to them ! Pathetic: The mailman from "Cheers" hates Obama . What's up with that? One fears that Obama's the antichrist. Another calls him a...

Sarah Palin says her family once went to Canada for healthcare
Sarah Palin could see Canada's healthcare from her window. The former Alaska governor and current media favorite told an audience in Calgary on Saturday that her family had sneaked to Canada when she was growing up to take advantage of the Universal healthcare system. She described in a somewhat fishy story hopping the border one time when her brother injured himself, according to the Canadian Press . "Believe it or not -- this was in the '60s -- we used to hustle on over the...

Limbaugh 'leaving the country' if health reform passes
shipped off to Canada well before that. But now the decidedly non-liberal Rush Limbaugh has made a similar move, telling his audience he will move to Costa Rica if Health Care reform becomes law. And now the only question that remains is whether Limbaugh will make good on his word, or join the ranks of the empty-promisers. "If the Health Care bill passes, where would you go for Health Care yourself?" a caller asked Limbaugh on his radio show Tuesday.

Rush Limbaugh: If Health Care Reform Passes, I'm Moving To Costa Rica
Zillionaire Rush Limbaugh, who could put a daily heart transplant on his debit card, says he'll leave the United States if Health Care reform passes. My guess in even in Canada and even in the UK, doctors have opted out. And once they've opted, they can't see anybody Medicare, Medicaid, or what will become the exchanges. They have to have a clientele of private patients that will pay them a retainer and it'll be a very small practice. I don't know if that's been outlawed in the...

Cuba now paying for sex changes
Havana — Looking in the mirror used to make Yiliam Gonzalez sick to her stomach. “I would see myself, and my body didn’t match who I was,” said the 28-year-old wedding pianist, who went by William before receiving a sex change under Cuba’s Universal Health Care system. Gonzalez is living proof of a small but remarkable transformation for the rugged revolution of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and a band of ever-macho, bearded rebels, who long punished gays and...
