Rush Limbaugh the Republican mouth piece who ha repeatedly claimed to be the voice of the American people, said that if the healthcare bill was passed that he was leaving the country and moving to Costa Rica. We have known that Obama was set to sign the bill for a few days which has given Rush time to pack. Besides I am sure he has maids and servants to help him. So Rush should be leaving any time now right? And good riddance to that loud mouthed, abrasive, Republican who condescends to say, the American people don't want this and "The American People want".. when he ha no clue what we do or do not want. He's just another spout for the party line. "Tax them and do nothing for them that you don't absolutely have to." "Control the great unwashed masses so that they don't have a chance of getting the things that we priveleged few have." etc etc and so forth. What would Rush Limbaugh know about being sick and not being able to go to a doctor because you simply cannot afford it? What would he know about sitting in a county emergency room with a sick child all night because you don't have insurance and your child doesn't have a primary care doctor. What would he know about any of that and how? None of his friends and none of his family have these concersn. They are all priveleged upper middle class or wealthy. Exactly the people who could afford to pay for their own health care and yet they demand that their employers provide them with insurance. Not every business is a big business that has numerous employees and which can afford healthcare for their workers and their families. Health coverage is an incentive for employees to chose one company over another to provide their skills to them.

Anyway Rush seems to have rashly backed the wrong horse in this race and he publicly stated that he was going. So now that the "worst" has happened I would like to know,-When is he leaving?

Soon, I hope. I'm sure he'll be able to afford his pills wherever he goes, so what does he care about folks running up against the famous preexisting clause? Godspeed, Mr. Limbaugh.

This legislation was a huge compromise as it was. But it's a start. Bye Rush!

I feel exactly the same way. Rush is fullly insured by his employers so there is absolutely no way that hye should have anything to say about the healthcare legislaton in the first place. As I said he knows nothing about having to spend all night in some county hospital waiting room with a sick child because the child doesn't have insurance benefits and though the parents work they can't afford health insurance yet the state says that they make to much to qualify for help from Medical or Medicaid. He has not been in sure dire straits nor will he ever. That is why I get offended when I see him on tv saying "The American people don't want their healthcare coverage changed." because he's wrong number one and number two I am one of the american people he's claiming to represent and yes I do want healthcare changed.
