The great great grandsons of the western pioneers

[deltex1]

Sit on their fat asses on their smelly couches and whine about their Medicare benefits. Years of progressive slop are robbing America of her backbone. Man up dudes...strap it on and move out!!!

Dear Mr. President:

During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive Shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive
Brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone.

While glancing over her Patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medic...aid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer.

And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care?

I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture", a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance.

It is a culture based on the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me". Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.

Respectfully,
STARNER JONES, MD

.... to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance.

STARNER JONES, MD


is the above insinuation even remotely reflective of the circumstances how the vast majority of people relying on "Medic...aid" are conducting their lives ?

and coming from a MD ... ironclad legitimacy undoubtedly, especially telling her to buy health insurance to pay for his Cadillac.

 

[Mr. H.]

I dunno. It was a Facebook post that I came across.

"Medic...aid" was what the gal wrote, not the doc.

Maybe not the vast majority, but an inordinate number of Americans are sucking off of the system. Several systems at once. Medicaid, Medicare, Unemployment, Disability, and Food Stamps.

And they are doing it in an unwarranted fashion. Unemployment numbers are so high because the pay is better elsewhere. Like on the couch.

Yes, line 'em up in the morning for calisthenics, then monitor all purchases to make sure they're not frivolous. Track their food purchases to make sure they eat healthy.

Obama's already making them buy insurance, so you don't have to worry about that.

We all crave the mother's milk.
Yet loathe the other's ilk.
What's mine is not thine
Lest you weave me some silk.

Get a job or go hungry.
