I am sick of the media dragging out all of these slobbering sob stories that don’t even come close to passing the smell test. Since when does MORE government involvement makes things better?

damn my lying eyes.

We shudda known she really lives where she “will soon” go school.

They don’t want to deal with facts and reality and responsibility and being grown-up.

They just want your money.

Now, a little map reading skills. The UCSD main campus is well south of La Jolla. While a satellite campus does exist in La Jolla, the campus where she will be attending classes is not so near. UCSD, because it is a part of the University of California system rather than the Cal State system, is UBER expensive to attend. Where is this money coming from? It wouldn’t shock me that yet again it is the taxpayers that is footing the bill.

Don’t give me your nonsense about compassion and feeling sorry for others. I have a good place where you can stick that rhetoric. I have compassion for the cart pullers as much as those riding in the cart. Millions of Americans, like myself, face adversity and overcome it while paying our fair share and then some. Ms. Whitaker needs to make some sacrifices herself before holding her bowl up high and asking, “More please”. When I was living down there, I couldn’t afford UCSD, but I sure as heck wasn’t going to saddle my fellow taxpayers with the bill either. I attended a good school that I could afford, while working full time.

In-state tuition for UCSD runs between 15k to 25k per year….so she has to have an income of 35K a year to cover that and include utilities, food, gas, clothing, etc.

I do not kick people when they are down and any illness is unfortunate. But certain priorities must be met. If she’s going to go to college, is the money for tuition already spent? Is she on scholarship? My god, if I had to go to college now there is NO WAY I could afford that kind of rent. Not with student loans, or even a part-time/full-time job. Assuming they split the rent, I’m still not seeing it.

While I may agree with you on many points in this health care debate, kicking sick people is not something I agree with.

perhaps as an addiction counselor

Which given the fiberal penchant to hide the umm, how to say this, less savory aspects of the sob-story of the day – so maybe, just maybe Ms Whitaker might want to be an addiction counselor because it was an addiction that got her to the point of kidney failure?!?

And yes – I’d move home or rent before I’d stop taking medication. Hell just yesterday (after being assured that my wonderful, perfect and free (NOT) government insurance was going to cover 100% of a ’surgery’) I ended up flashing that plastic (the one with a bit of ‘rainy day’ savings in it) to pay in full the surgery because one little itty bitty question wasn’t asked by either of the ‘insurance’ experts and that little itty bitty t wasn’t crossed properly. I did what I needed to do by asking before going ahead – because hubby works part-time during the summer so we don’t have extra play money lying around. And alas like all honest and hardworking Americans – we got screwed. Sucks to be me. But it worked – so now I don’t have to use the medication daily.

And that is the lesson to be learned by doing for yourself rather than sitting around lying (or at least leaving out key details) and whinning because you opt not to do what needed to be done – and suffer because of it. It’s as bad as an alcoholic getting a new liver and then going out to toast it. I don’t care if you are chronically stupid – why should I be forced to pay for it – or cry about your miserable life?

Guilt for being stupid – wow what low levels of ‘compassion’ the fiberals have been reduced to.

Marriage counselor to ignoramus’s: “So why did you and Mr Jamieson get married, Ms Whitaker?”

Ms Whitaker: “For the insurance coverage.”

Marriage counselor: “Excuse me while I go slap myself silly .. I dont think I heard you right.”

“But nothing is guaranteed.” I got news for ya’ chickie. Some dame I’m thinkin’ of marrying tells a MSM outlet she’s marrying me for the insurance .. I guarantee ya’ .. I’m outta here!!!

“She said she hoped a degree would help her find a job with health coverage, perhaps as an addiction counselor.”

Great idea! Another lame brain who wants to be a counselor!

Good grief!!!

Better call the Whaaambulance!

Or better yet, why doesn’t she marry her boyfriend to get private insurance? You mean the taxpayers have to pay for her lack of commitment in her relationship with her boyfriend? They already shack up and pretend to be married, they might as well do the deed and reduce the load for the taxpayers.

It may be a wee bit tight on the allocation of resources, but there should be no need for grannie to worry.

President Obamy has assured us that not only will nobody under Obamycare need to give up their insurance, all caps on medical care will be lifted.

Everybody will have infinite medical care. and with higher quality,a t a lower cost than today, with all of the other problems taken care of. For example, no pre-existing conditions, no interruptions in service, 30 or 47 million more people covered. And it will be done without a tax increase, and what you pay today won’t go up either. And the curent shortage of doctors won’t be a factor either.

And that 39 to 50 Trillion shoftfall for Medicare? Don’t worry about that. Heck, we’re even gonna cut medicare costs by half a trillions.

That’s how good Obamy is.

Looks like the Indians are in for some happy times.

4 million native Americans
15,000 total employees of IHS (that includes clerks, etc)
Just 900 physicians
2,000 nurses, 300 dentists, 400 pharmacists, etc. For 4 million people, a majority of whom are chronically ill.

In 35 states, 557 recognized Tribes. Just 33 ‘hospitals’ and 59 ‘health centers’, I suppose that means what we term a clinic.

I’m sure any Navaho or Chippewa would say “Mmmmm – mmmmm gimme some more of that good government loving, yes sir.”

It’s only the defeated who get government health care, Free People make their own choices.

Even given that their goal is to brainwash the country, wouldn’t you think that they would want to do it with smart people.

Does being brainwashed yourself blind you to stupidity?

The MSNBC guys are even worse. Can they even feed themselves?

Bureaucracies are stupid. We need more bureaucracies.

If Medicaire was a private business, it would have been driven out of business decades ago by other businesses that offered better service, higher quality, and cheaper prices…..just like every other private business in the world.

But since it’s government run, it is allowed to get worse and worse, until finally, it will bankrupt the entire country.

Unless Obamy gets us there faster through another of his schemes.
