I'll need some of that stuff

I'll need some of that stuff if Obama kills the Public Option today!
..The Blue pill, please!

What a preachy cartoon.

What a preachy cartoon. Disguised with satire but it's no different than any other propaganda.
As you can see I do not need rage-ex; I have enough natural rage.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Bravo.

Bravo.

Cartoon predicts the future

Cartoon predicts the future 50 years ago. This is amazing insight!

Thank you. Its not

Thank you. Its not predicting the future, its common sense.

No, it's just

No, it's just stupidity.

Start with the fact that the biggest real obstacle to entrepreneurs like good ol' Doakes is the inability to get health care for themselves and their workers.

And comparing Obama to the villain in the cartoon is even sillier. Any "ism" Obama is offering is only in your head. In reality all he's offering is the status quo, patched with scotch tape to keep it working a little longer.

Actually this is lame and a

Actually this is lame and a total propaganda piece. Obama care is nothing but government control of our lives, for it will destroy all private health care and put several layers of bureaucrats between you and your doctor. Get off your buts and read the house bill. Also read how socialized health care is destroying Canada, Britain, and France. In fact the WSJ had an article on how France would be adopting some our current health care plans.

Ah, I see you've already

Ah, I see you've already Drunk the Kool-Aid. Prehaps laced with high doses of Rage-Ex....

Hey Mr. Anonymous, You sound

Hey Mr. Anonymous,

You sound like one of those frightened Insurance executives trying to get the peons to do your dirty work for you and incite fear and rage. Or you're just not too bright and insist on working against your own best interest. Maybe you should read the bill and not only the lines that Fox, Bill,and Rush tell you to read.
Get off your butt and get the true facts.

I'm not sure we are on the

I'm not sure we are on the same planet together. I think the propaganda is more like "death panels" and "medicare losing benefits".
Yeah right! Government will put layers of bureaucrats between you and your doctor? Who do you think is busy denying legitimate claims, dropping those with preexisting conditions, and dictating to doctors what can and can't be done for their patients? Why it's private insurance bureaucrats! In fact, some of them admitted to getting bonuses for denying more claims!
You're doing the bidding of those in the health care industrial complex, who couldn't care less if you suffered, died, and went bankrupt doing it!
Ever wonder why our infant mortality rate is worse than developed countries that have public, or at least a mixture of public and private plans? Daaaaah!

Denial is not just a river

Denial is not just a river in Egypt."death panels" (actual death boards) and "medicare losing benefits" IS IN THE BILL.
Where have you been during the last 60 years? There is nothing that the government does that does not cost many time more than they say, wastes money, and has layers and layers of bureaucrats, is inefficient, and eventually takes one of our freedoms away.
Think of it this way. You have virtually an infinite demand for health care, but a limited supply of providers (doctors, hospitals, machines, ect.) How do you control the cost, because you do not have infinite money? There are only two choices 1. raise prices to cut demand, or 2. Rationing. Obamacare has eliminated cost controls, so all that is left is rationing. Next question, who do you ration health care to? young people in their 20's or senior citizens over 65? People with long term or incurable illness or someone who can be cured quickly and cheaply?

If you do not have the

If you do not have the bumpersticker on your vehicle: I'M A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL SARCASM SOCIETY (As If We Need Your Support) you should get one. Your sense of humor, albeit the truth, your truth and my truth and millions of other peoples combined truths, is bar none the best.

I could go on and on about how much I look forward to your cartoons each week and what you have to say about the current event du jour, but why?

I hope everyone is linking you to their blogs and other places such I have.

Sharing is caring.

Thank You for being you Mark Fiore.

I checked out pages 145,

I checked out pages 145, 203, 241, 430, 95, and 42.

The claims are, respectively: accurate (145), inaccurate (203), inconclusive (241), highly inaccurate (430), accurate (95), and inconclusive (42).

So a bit of a grab bag.

I'll admit this list reaches more than a little, but pro-health-reformers should remember:

  • Governments love to bury Trojan horses in these bills. Page 95 ('indoctrination patrol' for ACORN) and page 425 ('end of life' consulting) are fair examples.
  • The US government is painfully broke. The treasury bubble might hold on for a year or two longer, but the wheels are already in motion. There isn't a hope in heck that public healthcare can remain funded without raising taxes to almost confiscatory levels. Granted, you'll no longer have to pay for health insurance.
  • "Promoting competition" is the last thing this bill is designed to do. (Yes, fine, I agree that there wasn't exactly cutthroat competition between the insurance giants either.)

Since I rather like our system here in Canada, I find myself still securely within the 'I (heart) public healthcare' camp.

But let's not kid ourselves. In the U.S., this is a 1.2 trillion dollar debate on how to best arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Ah well, Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru are alive and well.

Liar - your nose must be

Liar - your nose must be twice the size today.

Hey man, you need to lay off

Hey man, you need to lay off the Rage-Ex. You are obviously suffering from primary cognitive impairment. PAGE 425: 1) "Advance Care Planning" - that's a choice of the senior. They pick the provider and make their own choices. Are you deliberately lying or is that you simply can't read? 2) "Mandatory" consults paid for for durable power of attorney, etc. They're not "mandatory," they're reimbursed based on the choice of the client. 3) "assisted suicide, euthanasia?" - Liar. That's not in there. You do lie on purpose. PAGE 489: Covered couples counseling - "government interferes in your marriage." Now you're really over the top. The therapist won't likely be a government employee. It's a choice to utilize a covered service as is, PAGE 494, mental health services. You, sir or madam, are a deliberate disinformation agent. There's nobody dumb enough here, or most places, to believe your astroturfing lies.

So far your the only person

So far your the only person besides myself who has read the 1017 pages (house version)at least as far as I can see, of government B.S and legal speak that the Obama admin had constructed to get the US pointed in the direction of a failed single payer system.Seems also like we could all see the writing on the wall with the person he put as the head of the treasury,-lol One of the main persons who conspired with Goldman Saks regarding the housing bubble & Bust and the "fake" bailout that followed.I also wonder Page 429 didn't just say "refer to The Hemlock society-lol

There's a lot of stuff on this list that has no basis in the actual document. But the list comes complete from the Charlotte Conservative Examiner...

From what I see only a small minority need any assistance in embracing their fear and rage. If fact according to the cons we are a center right country.......or so they say. Just like no one wants a public option, and that is true if you discount the 57-77% who do.
