Limbaugh vows to flee the country if health care passes.

Hate radio host Rush Limbaugh has been one of health care reform’s most vociferous opponents, warning that “[h]uman beings will die earlier than normal” under the “freedom killing” and “life threatening” plan, and calling for it to be “aborted.” Yesterday, Limbaugh put his money where his mouth is, saying that if health care passes and all his fears are realized, he’ll 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 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 Senate bill. 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.

Listen here:

Limbaugh’s self-imposed exile should be all the incentive needed to pass health care reform.

Public Health Care – Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS)

The Costa Rican healthcare system is rated very highly on an international level, and the country’s citizens enjoy the health and life expectancy equal to that of more developed nations. These accolades come courtesy of strong, universal health insurance and excellent public and private hospitals.

Costa Rica’s public health insurance system, commonly known as the Caja, is available country-wide to all citizens and legal residents. There are ten major public hospitals – four in San Jose, including the Children’s Hospital – affiliated with the Caja. For non-emergencies and everyday medical care, small clinics, known as EBAIS (pronounced ay-vy-ice), are located in almost every community.

    Costa Rica is a pretty progressive country. They probably won’t let him in, especially if they do a background check. He brings no special talent that the country would want.

    I’d also like to point out the irony of that fat, impotent slug threatening to flee this country if healthcare reform passes to a country that has…universal healthcare.

    Costa Rica’s system is government funded, with the option to purchase private insurance.

    Something we need here…

    and, o/t but interesting

    Glenn Beck to Jesus: Drop Dead

    It’s a pointed look at how Beck is intent on destroying every redeeming aspect of Christianity to suit his own goals.

    He prefaces with “My guess…” and “I don’t know…”, but he thinks anyone should value his opinion. He’s never done any research on his own, and the RNC forgot to tell him the talking points of the day, so he’s clueless.

    Glenn Bleech is admonishing everything about Christianity that I find redeeming. Not surprising, considering most evangelicals would rather follow the Old Testament to the letter than anything Jesus had to say.

    If there were another very good reason to pass the health care bill, this would be it.
    Pass the bill! Do it for Rush!!

    1) well i need to stay and keep fighting for you the tried, cold, ignorant, racist, good real american nut jobs.


  15. Marie says:

    Rush would feel he has to leave the country? More than likely, he’d end up in a country that already has universal health care. Oh, the irony of it all. Pass the bill!


  16. Hoodathunk(sponsored by the Church of Holy Beer) says:

    Beat me to it, ED. Yes, indeed, Costa Rica has the ebil national health care. In fact, since the US is the only major industrialized nation that doesn’t have some form of it, the Fatman’s choices of where to go are limited to real 3rd world countries. Maybe he can have a bunker built in Somalia.


  17. Buford says:

    I thought Rush had an affinity for the Dominican Republic for his solo, Viagra-fueled ‘vacations’…?

    QUICK! PASS IT! NOW! DON’T WAIT ANOTHER SECOND!


  19. deebaser says:

    @9… Exactly.

    “My guess in even in Canada and even in the UK, doctors have opted out” means “I am unqualified to discuss this because I haven’t done even the most rudimentary internet study of the issue”



  20. RUCerious Brought to you by MalWart your source for cheap plastic crap says:

    Volunteers for the “Build Rush a Bunker in Somalia” are gathering as we speak.

  22. har5125 (brought to you by the Independent Faction) says:

    So did Costa Rica just become the biggest opponent of health care passing here in the U.S. to prevent LimbAUGH from invading their country?

    Lest we forget: evangelicals probably wouldn’t back Beck. They’re uncomfortable with the whole Mormon thing.

    Intolerance, bigotry, and selfish interpretation is found in every religion. The problem isn’t with the text; it’s with the people. And it’s a problem that seems to be particularly pronounced in this country.

    Maybe he can become their Pie-eyed Piper and gather all the discontented baggers and haul them with him. I don’t think Costa Rica would have them but I’m sure they can find someplace where they can set up their very own independent theocracy and show the rest of the world how well that works.


  30. bob h says:

    I would have thought the Dominican Republic, too, but Costa Rica is also wide open in that regard. I’m sure he’ll be able to indulge whatever his predilection actually is.

    Surprise; this fatuous blowhard continues to demonstrate his monstrous ignorance of universal health care as practiced in other industrialized nations.

    Doctors in Canada and the UK DO NOT opt out of the health care system, they are A PART of the system.

    Why does it not seem ridiculous that this idiot is allowed to spew his utterly uninformed opinions to anyone even less intellectually curious than he is?


  34. DNFP (powered by the Stirling Engine™) says:

    Tons of illegal drugs too easily available in Costa Rica (just ask your taxi driver-some who’ll smoke you out in their cabs on the way to the pharmacia!)

    Rush has a unique opportunity here. He is probably the only single person whose departure from the US would have a notable effect on the health care market. Sales of high blood pressure medications and anti-nausea drugs would drop significantly.

    There must be a small un-inhabited island out there somewhere far from US shores with which to accomodate the Blob. Doesn’t Johnny Depp or John Travolta have one that they could sell? We can start a Progressive Action Fund to raise enough money for the Blob and the trolls to obtain permanent residence and start their own wingnutopia. Of course they will need a physician who is opposed to reform…how about that @sshole Senator Coburn? Once established it will become a beacon for Texan ex-pats once secession fails. Disgraced fromer Republican politicians will be drawn to this potential free market Eden. The possibilities are ripe for both entertainment value and a “Lord of the Flies” situation.

    If the founders of Wingtopia hit dyre sraits they could feesably live off of the Blob’s corpse indefinitely (most trolls have daydreams of having Rush’s meat in their mouths anyway).

    It’d make a heck of a better show than “Lost” at least.

    Costa Rica is a healthy place to live, because its government
    continues a long-time commitment to affordable access to one
    of the finest health care systems in the world, for each and every citizen.

    • Prescriptions are not needed on most products in
    Costa Rica. [Man Rush is gonna be so high!]

    • You can take a 90-day supply back to the USA. [Oxycontin Rush!!]

    • You’ll save up to 80%, compared to U.S. drugstores. [Rush would never want that. Its not free market myth]

    In a United Nations study conducted in the 1980s, Costa Rica’s medical
    system, was first in Latin America and ranked near the United States and
    Canada, among the 20 best in the world. Things are pretty much the same
    today.

    Iran: wing-nuts wouldn’t last a day against the revolutionary guard in the streets of Tehran. Or the wing-nuts would become rats for the revolutionary guard.

    Saudi Arabia: wing-nuts find out that they don’t mind Sharia law and its really similar to what they wanted to push in America. The only downside is they risk being severely punished if they get caught with the Coors that they smuggled in.

    Talk is cheap. One of my favorite movie quotes says it best — “if you choose to bluff, you must be prepared to have your bluff called.”

    C’mon, people — let’s get real! Is there anyone here who seriously believes that Limbaugh has the courage and the integrity to actually follow through on this threat in the event the health care bill passes? I don’t — my guess is that he’d simply claim this was “satire” and therefore shouldn’t be taken seriously. Of course, this will simply be one more piece of evidence proving that most conservatives and Republicans don’t believe what they say about taking responsibility (at least not when applied to themselves) — but this won’t register with the die-hard “dittoheads” anyway.

    From CostaRica.com: “Costa Rica’s public health insurance system, commonly known as the Caja, is available country-wide to all citizens and legal residents. There are ten major public hospitals – four in San Jose, including the Children’s Hospital – affiliated with the Caja. For non-emergencies and everyday medical care, small clinics, known as EBAIS (pronounced ay-vy-ice), are located in almost every community.”

    ********************************************************

    C’mon, Falco — with all due respect, I think you know better than that. Since when have the facts mattered to Limbaugh? He probably didn’t know and didn’t bother to find out ahead of time whether Costa Rica has nationalized health care or not — and since he has more than enough money to afford the very best health care here, he certainly has enough to afford it there. In any case, what makes you think that Limbaugh would actually be willing to put his money where his mouth is and leave the country? I see no reason to perceive this as anything more than an empty threat. I know this much — Limbaugh is the consummate Social Darwinist and a poor excuse for a human being, but he’s not stupid — he already knows that most of the people who listen to him regularly and take him seriously are prepared to defend him no matter what.

Why would a doctor want to opt out of that? And then Limbaugh talks about the UK and Canada. What Congress is proposing isn’t anything close to what Canada and UK have. They have single payer universal health plans. That’s a whole different kettle of fish.

    Anyone want to bet that if Limbaugh was injured in Canada, he wouldn’t flee back to the US for medical care? Why? Because his care in Canada would be free.

    Lower costs lure U.S. patients abroad for treatment

    NEW DELHI, India (CNN) — “I was a walking time bomb. I knew I had to get on that plane if I wanted to be around to see my grandkids.”

    Sandra Giustina is a 61-year-old uninsured American. For three years she saved her money in hopes of affording heart surgery to correct her atrial fibrillation. “They [U.S. hospitals] told me it would be about $175,000, and there was just no way could I come up with that,” Giustina said.

    So, with a little digging online, she found several high quality hospitals vying for her business, at a fraction of the U.S. cost. Within a month, she was on a plane from her home in Las Vegas, Nevada, to New Delhi, India. Surgeons at Max Hospital fixed her heart for “under $10,000 total, including travel.”

    Giustina is just one of millions around the world journeying outside their native land for medical treatment, a phenomenon known as “medical tourism.” Experts say the trend in global health care has just begun. Next year alone, an estimated 6 million Americans will travel abroad for surgery, according to a 2008 Deloitte study. “Medical care in countries such as India, Thailand and Singapore can cost as little as 10 percent of the cost of comparable care in the United States,” the report found.


  161. A Patriot Acting says:

    Oh nos Rush, our dream of wishing you a “bon voyage” inched a bit closer. The WSJ of all places ran an oped today by an Economy Prof from Harvard Univ. wher he lays out the indisputable financial benefits of the latest HC Reform Bill. Mr. David M. Cutler discusses the ten biggest cost-saving initiatives in the Bill and assigns a grade to each point. He gives the worst grade on the subject of the public option, directly blaiming Republican’s for causing it’s exclusion and states that:
    “A public insurance option would provide competition for insurers in areas that are nearly a monopoly and provide a path for reforms in Medicare to expand readily in the under-65 population. The public option was eliminated because of Republican opposition, however.”

    jwest @ 133, so I take it you will be searching for a country that specializes in lobotomies and/or brain implants?


  212. phenry says:

    Honey, Rush is filthy rich. He can afford any health care in the world. I’m sure he’d be happy to pay for it out of pocket. I mean, after all, everyone should take care of one’s own needs, shouldn’t they? I mean according to Rush……….and certain Canadian politicians.


  213. Winski says:

    SEE YA FATMAN!!! Next stop for you – UGANDA !!!


  214. PolicyNorth says:

    Ok dittoheads, I have a challenge. Fund me a country that is more right wing then America for Rush to move to.
    Seriously.

    A nice socially conservative, religiously traditional type place where men and women know thier roles and ‘liberalism’ is detested and government social benifits are miminal- in keeping with his economic views.

    I know. It sounds also like work dosen’t it? Trust me, the shock at the end will be worth it :D


  215. Insidious Prophet says:

    “Little Angel” is that what Rush calls you before he commands you to “stand in front of him backside facing him”, “pull down your pants and bend over and grab your ankles”?

    Costa Rica’s lack of a standing army and its historical commitment to the
    social and educational welfare of its citizens, have provided the foundation,
    for a “highly developed medical system

    Oh, Snap! THAT does it! Rush will NEVER go someplace where they have no military and spend their money on socialist programs and education. He hates that!


  218. PolicyNorth says:

    …and those polticians up here are the Reform party. Think of them as the pathetic wannabe little brothers of your Republicans.
    They also managed to take over the country. No punchline, they got our number somehow on open ice somehow *shrug*.

    THAT sounds like the punchline to a joke! lol

    this alone should be enough to get health reform passed. kill two birds with one stone (it’s a metaphor for all you trolls out there).


  226. Hoodathunk(sponsored by the Church of Holy Beer) says:

    Sounds like someone still lives at home because they can’t bare to think of leaving their little brother’s behind.


  227. PolicyNorth says:

    Somalia is wonderful.

    Think of it as a conservative utopia. REAL Second Amendment rights for all, men are men and women are women. (And dancing boys and mutilated girls are sexless.)the coastal waterways are filled with entrepeneurs finally freed of goverment restriction on free trade. The local Church groups don’t tanke no guff from any ‘liberal’ actions in town eitehr, nosir.

    Is there a collection to buy him a ticket? I’ll spring for a plane!


  228. Shayne says:

    If you truly love someone TLA you love them just the way they are. And Rush is GAY. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    Oh, and don’t let the door hit ya…..


  231. squidbilly says:

    Someone should tell Rush Costa Rica has socialized medicine….oops!


  232. Mr.Duke says:

    Costa Rica is a democratic republic with a strong constitution. The country has had at least 59 years of uninterrupted democracy, making it one of the most stable countries in the region, and the only Latin American country included in the list of the world’s 22 older democracies since at least 1950.[5] Costa Rica has been able to avoid the widespread violence that has plagued most of Latin America.

    Costa Rica is a republic with three powers: executive responsibilities are vested in a president, legislative power is vested on the Legislative Assembly, and Judicial power is vested on the Supreme Court. There are two vice presidents as well as a cabinet designated by the president. The president, vice presidents, and 57 Legislative Assembly delegates are elected for four-year terms. A constitutional amendment approved in 1969 limited presidents and delegates to one term, although delegates were allowed to run again for an Assembly seat after sitting out a term.

    The literacy rate in Costa Rica is 97%, one of the highest in Latin America


  233. nofltwlt says:

    Rush says, “I don’t know, I don’t know”. Well shouldn’t he know? Couldn’t he find out? Experts know what they are talking about; so what is Rush talking about?


  234. Purple State is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline says:

    Thank you for your copy-paste work, Mr. Duke.

    So you’re telling us…what exactly? That Costa Rica is better than America? That Rush is justified in wanting to move?

    Come now; tell us what your two cents are all about.


  235. Eugene Debs sponsered by the Church of the presumptious assumption says:

    jwest

    You SHOULD appologize. For being so stupid. For being such a liar. For being a punkass troll. You should appologize to the entire world for the misery your existance brings. You should appologize for having no honor, no decency, no integrity, no humanity. Not one single thing that would make you a decent human being. You should appologize for being a minion. So stupid and so brainwashed that you constantly spew only what you were told to think. For KNOWING you are too stupid to think for yourself and wasting our time anyway. You should applogize to the entire world for the burden your incredible ignorance has been in your suicide letter. Then you should appologize to your mommy for making a mess in her basement and put a bullet through your useless empty trollskull


  236. Eugene Debs sponsered by the Church of the presumptious assumption says:

    Rape appologist, liar, vile ignorant troll, pigignorant pile of dogshit.

    If this is not an incentive for Democrats to pass the bill, I don’t know what is.

    Oh, Snap! THAT does it! Rush will NEVER go someplace where they have no military and spend their money on socialist programs and education. He hates that! — GloGrrl

    ***********************************************************

    I agree, GG — judging by this information, Costa Rica sounds far too progressive for Limbaugh’s taste.


  239. zuch says:

    Limbaugh:

    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….

    “… with a pocketful of Viagra.”

    Say, does someone want to point out to the stoopid wanker that the Latin American countries have government-run health care?

    Cheers,

    Then why did he have his maid score his dope for him? Too scared he’d get caught, and, well, we all know the rest.


  242. Adamkun (Paid For By The Catholic Church) says:

    Someone take that audio down. I’m going to run for Senate in Illinois and work to pass the “Hold Rush to His Word Act of 2010″, which would automatically strip him of citizenship and order his deportation on January 1st, 2013. As well as mandate he be given a severe Miranda Beating.


  243. MrBrown says:

    He’s too arrogant. He won’t do it even more than Glenn Beck threatening to set himself on fire.

    If he does, then maybe his zomb…errrr…listeners will go with him to socialist medicine paradise…


  244. austininc4 says:

    WELL, BYE BOTCH!!!!


  245. just the bleepn facts says:

    This from the same d**chebag that whined that anyone who said such a thing under GWB because of his Coup d’etat and subsequent illegal wars should be put in Gitmo! LOL! Limbaugh once again shows why conservatives/republicans are nothing but al queda/taliban d**chebags.


  246. Rascalcat says:

    Limbough “fleeing”?

    Lumbering, maybe.


  247. just the bleepn facts says:

    How ironic that Limbaugh would pick a country with “universal health care” to flee to! LOL! This is just another example of the recent scientific study that proved Conservatives are stupid! ;)


  248. PolicyNorth says:

    “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.”-Rush

    Why do you take the advice of people guess at things they can look up in about two seconds and (for that matter) on the same subjects they have been corrected on but still..keep… saying.. the same.. damn…things.

    Rush obviously figures his follows don’t bother to check out facts for themselves. He might very well be right.


  249. The Shadow says:

    I guess Fat Boy would have to die if the moved there because they have socialized medicine. But this is exactly why only racists and fools listen to this blow-hard. The man is nothing more than a velvety tongued K lansman who is extremely over paid and over rated. You see his plan to stop the President from getting the Democratic nomination and winning the presidency both failed. You don’t see the media pointing it out though do you? If this fat punk had so much power John McCain would be President right now. As I said, there’s not enough racists and fools to make up for the good people in this country who have a mind of their own.

    He’s a snake oil salesman who prey on people worst tendencies and fears to make millions of dollars a year. He’s basically divisive figure like Hitler, yes, I compared him to Hitler, who uses the lowest common denominator to drive a wedge between Americans who might otherwise get along if left with his racist propaganda and indoctrination program. When the world ends there’s going to be a long line of former Rush worshipers waiting for a one way trip to Hell. I hope they like it hot, because their own racism and hate his what is going to condemn them to burn in hell forever.


  250. poishe says:

    If the passing of this Health Bill does nothing else than to get your fat, lying ass out of this country, then it will be one of the biggest accomplishment this country could ever want


  251. getplaning says:

    I have a wingnut relative who just moved to Panama because America was “going down the tubes” since 2006. One of his biggest rants lately has been the “government takeover of healthcare”. LOL

    A few weeks ago, he broke his leg and had surgery to put the bones back together. He said everything was first class. “How much did it cost?” I asked him.

    “It was free,” he said.

    All I could do is laugh.


  252. PolicyNorth says:

    ..wait.. Rush Limbaugh ISEN’T gay?
    I just kinda assumed… you know. The Obsession.
    Nevermind.


  253. Cats r Flyfishn (sponsored by Reiki, the Free Energy Source) says:

    OMG – what a blessing. Here’s your hat, Rush, what’s your hurry.


  254. Boonjo says:

    Leave the Country ?
    Once again he spews a lie, Rush is going nowhere, who would kept his dittoheads hypnotized? They follow him like sheep! Rush, I will personally pay for your plain ticket to China if you’ll go there and I’ll even buy you a case of that fine plaster milk they make !

    The Littlest Angel says: If Rush leaves, America is doomed. That fact isn’t over anyone’s head.

    How is America doomed,LA? – please tell us – or was that highly imaginative reworking of ‘Ben’ taken your brain to the brink of intellectual exhaustion?
    When you’ve recovered I’d like to hear your answer.


  257. arabrabneslin says:

    Vaya con dios, Rush


  258. mari2RR says:

    Poor guy was so ill informed he chose a Country that already had a National Health Care established. So we can assume that he is just blowing smoke errrr whatever, to cover his stupidity. He obviously is NOT so anti National Health insurance. As huge as he is, no doubt medical expenses are very high for him. I am thrilled he pays for himself. Then there was his life style and his addictions. Poor thing is no doubt a walking medical emergency waiting to happen.


  259. cd says:

    Supporters of Universal Healthcare could use this quote to promote their plan.

    I know it makes me want to sign their pettitions.
