Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-etard) thinks it'd be a good idea to let hospital emergency rooms turn away patients to cut costs. He says the federal law that mandates ER treatment should be repealed.
Jesus fucking Christ...ass-clowns like this guy make it hard to say you're a conservative with a straight face. Which I don't anymore, by the way. I used to but now I'm fiercely independent. Good ideas are good ideas and bad ones are bad ones no matter which side they come from. The trouble with politics is that good ideas from either side are about as fucking common as contact with alien civilizations.
I'm not gonna get into the whole health care debate except to say that if universal health care is run by the government it'll be a cluster-fuck just like everything else they stick their damned noses into.
True, a lot of people go to the ER when they don't really have an emergency (except not having health insurance, which means nowhere else to go). But a lot also go with minor things that turn out to be big.
Note to the heart attack gods: will you pleeeease stop getting my hopes up and give Dick Cheney a fatal one next time? Stop messing around and take that fucker out, will ya?
Anyway, so back to the idiot Governor of Minnesota who has no actual plan for how his plan would work. Who gets to decide who gets turned away? A doctor? A nurse? A pencil pushing receptionist who doesn't know jack shit about medicine? How about a red carpet out front and a snooty door man keeping the riff-raff away from the fancy hotel like in a 1930s movie?
Is he just getting his name in the news or what? He has already announced that he won't be seeking re-election. Smells like another dumbass lining up for a run at his party's nomination next time around. Yay! Just what we need...a male version of Sarah Palin. On the other hand maybe they'll cancel each other out like matter and anti-matter in a perfect vortex of stupid.
You want to cut health care costs? Or, more accurately, make health care affordable? I got a plan...how about we start by making it illegal for hospitals to charge $100 or more for a single fucking Tylenol?
