Oh no !

Passing the Health care bill obliges Limbaugh to spend more time abroad?

What was he thinking?

This could sway some wavering Dem to vote in favor of the lousy thing.

By the way, Costa Rica seems to have  socialised medicine that is simple and makes sense.....

...and gets Rush Limbaughs endorsement.

I doubt he is endorsing the universal system. He is probably endorsing the medical tourism industry.

Treating it as an important industry might be the right thing.

If Mikey can tout Cuban Medical Tourism, Rush should be able to tout Costa Rican medical tourism.

it must be good if rush would bypass the us, canada and cuba.

don't forget it's just cost
the lower restrictions also means more advance medicines than the u.s.

Rush is a blowhard, and he is not going to move anywhere.

He has millions, why on Earth would he leave the country because of a medical plan that he can easily supplant with his bug bucks if he does not like it. As it is, the Bahamas, which has excellent doctors, is a 30 minute plane ride away from Palm Beach, where Rush basks in luxury. I bet they could even prescribe Oxy-Contin for him. Of course, the Bahamas has a majority of Black people, which probably does not impress Rush. But there are a coule of mostly White islands there.

You are putting words in his mouth.


A seriously unsanitary procedure.




H e doesn't say he will move , he is saying that he will take his business there when he needs surgury.


If all the rich people go there for their surgury , so will all the surgons who want to be rich.

I really doubt that this will happen. It assumes that the surgeons that are already in these countries will do nothing if their governments decide to allow foreign doctors to practice medicine in competition with them, which I would deem unlikely at best. And "all rich people" are not going to Costa Rica for surgery, not ever.

Rush said he was moving to CR if the health bill passes, but he won't do this. As I said, Rush is a blowhard. He likes to get his name in the press: it's free publicity.

Except that is not what he said.

Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh said this week he?d go to Costa Rica for medical treatment if Congress passes proposed reforms to the US healthcare system. ?If I have to get thrown into this massive government health care  insurance business and end up going to the driver's license office every day when I need to go to the doctor, yeah, I'll go to Costa Rica for treatment, not move there,? he told listeners Tuesday, according to a transcript on his website.

It sounds like he said what he said, and then went back and had to explain that what he said was not what he meant. I heard what he said the first time.

He is still a blowhard, and I don't think anyone needs to care where he goes and for what.

I would prefer that he retire to a peaceful island, somewhere. Like Kiska. Or perhaps Unakleet.

Methinks you heard what you wanted to hear.

Go for treatment is not the same as moving there.

Costa Rica would object to the expantion of a money making industry?

What country right now restricts the immagration of PHD MD types?

At that level of wealth creation and public service the more the merryer is the rule.

but hows costa rica`s educations system?

cuba`s system actually teaches american doctors.
