POPS Elizabeth Edwards' healthcare questions for McCain

by masbury 6-10-2008

She writes as one with a pre-existing condition, asking for straight answers from the straight talker. Worth noting is the fact that McCain would be virtually un-insurable were he not on the government's insurance plan.

POPS Young, American, and Uninsured: on the rise

by masbury 5-30-2008

And it simply doesn't happen in most developed nations. 30% of uninsured from 17% of under-65 pop.; non-whites worse off; could easily face a lifetime of debt or denial of care; 2/3 have had trouble because of cost. And it simply wouldn't happen in most developed nations.

POPS KU KLUX KLAN WON'T ENDORSE OBAMA!

by masbury 5-28-2008

Excellent satire - read the whole thing! Healthcare, it is assumed, is their point of disagreement. And "Noting her strength with the broad swaths of people who have no intention of actually voting for her, Senator Clinton also feels Obama's weakness with people who hate both of them with a passion should give unpledged superdelegates pause."

by masbury 5-13-2008

despite four major heart attacks and other serious coronary issues, Cheney "can't be denied health insurance no matter how serious his heart condition is" because he is a U.S. government employee. But you'd be dead.

POPS Gingrich warns Republicans of "catastrophic election"

by masbury 5-6-2008

Time for a fresh start. May I suggest these sure-fire strategies: TAX CUTS! Blame BIG GUBMINT. Pitch TRICKLE DOWN. How 'bout that WAR ON TARA? How 'bout WE WON'T DO ANYTHING ON HEALTHCARE? Or WE WON'T TALK ABOUT RACE. If those don't bring us to our senses, bring out the deep stuff: WRIGHT! ELITIST! SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! LIBBRUL! Oh my, he's right. All the milk's gone sour.

POPS 1/3 of Americans struggled to pay for healthcare in past year

POPS Big Pharma spends $25,000 per physician annually

by masbury 4-19-2008

And TV ads for prescription drugs are illegal in most countries. Now friends, why do you suppose they're legal in the USA? Is it because we just love freedom so much? Or is it because big business controls Congress?

POPS RAND Corp: 620,000 vets may have PTSD or brain injury

by masbury 4-17-2008

About half receive care, and half of those only minimally. I wonder if kids who enlist are warned of the likelihood of this happening to them - should be like cancer warnings on cigarettes.

POPS Satire: Top 10 reasons to oppose universal healthcare

by masbury 12-26-2007

People have given me 5, 6, and 2 with a straight face, along with their earnest estimation that a thousand insurers with a thousand different plans on a thousand different forms, each spending millions on self-promotion is more efficient than wasteful government bureacracy. We've been boon-doggled into believing the industry's propaganda, while 47 millions of our neighbors don't get to be insured. Also - can anybody source this cartoon for me?
