And You Wonder Why Medical Care Costs Are High!
All we hear from Our Dear Leader, Comrade Obama, MADAM Pelosi, Harry Reid, Charles (the Crook) Rangel, Chuck (how much can I get) Shumer is how much the health care bill they are forcing down the throats of Americans will save. Well here are some of the reason it costs so much now, and why it will cost even more in the future.

ER Doctor’s letter to the editor
Many wish this was an article on the front page of every newspaper in America —
I know that there are similar incidents in the ER of all hospitals……
This letter appeared in the Jackson, Mississippi Clarion-Ledger dated August 23rd
Dear Sirs:
“During my last night’s shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with a shiny new gold tooth, pierced tongue, multiple elaborate tattoos, a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and a new cellular telephone equipped with her favorite R&B tune for a ringtone.
Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status: Medicaid.
She smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has money to buy beer.
And our president expects me to pay for this woman’s health care? Our nation’s health care crisis is not a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. It is a crisis of culture – a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on pleasures and vices while refusing to take care of one’s self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. A culture that thinks “I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me.”

I work in the healthcare industry and I am so happy to finally have someone agree with me. I am so tired of hearing “Doctors for Obama”. I’d like to meet them and see how much they make a year-they must do well in order to pay for other people’s healthcare. We know the people in Washington are making bank, so this is a no brainer for them. It’s pocket change. Pelosi is a sub-repitilian creature( thanks, Dennis Miller) with an empty shell where her brain would normally be.
Thank you, Dr. Jones.

Dr. Jones, I bet if you look around your could find tramps for Obama, Rats for Obama and so on. He is more interested in traveling the world on Air Force One, down grading American life style and downgrading our war dead. He is a super ego, who head should explode.
As far Madam (As in whore house Madam”, she is suffers more from Anencephaly sub-reptilian creature. A sub-reptilian creature may have one or more brain cell, she had NONE.
