Hey repuke morans ...the death panel is the board of directors at your fucking health insurance co.

[L0oniX]

Just say'n.

:evilgrin:

[parasim]

1. Ha! That's exactly what I said to my moran relatives I've been debating on Facebook.

Their response?

<crickets>

[LAGC]

2. Oh, but a government bureaucracy would be SO much worse than a corporate bureaucracy.

I don't see how the government could do any worse of a job.

Besides, it would only bring MORE competition in the insurance industry, not less, to drive prices down for everyone, even those few sitting pretty with their good insurance plans now. Besides, isn't fair and true competition what the "free" market is supposed to be all about? Sometimes you need to REGULATE to see it happen.

4. Most people on Medicare have no complaints except for having to pay for drugs.

Of course they can get the supplemental if they can afford it. Nothing is as good as the single payer plan.

[JerseygirlCT]

3. Actually, more like some lower level flunky

with the power to decide questions of life and death based on what that BOD, many layers above, wants.

Scarier, in a way.

[L0oniX]

5. They're all sociopaths.

[_dynamicdems]

6. You got that right.

They decide who lives and dies by profit margins.

Things that make you wish there was a hell, you know?

[yourout]

7. They will get you what you need but they will take every last dime you and your....

next three generations make.

[DeeWilly]

8. .

Well, maybe not. When you purchase private insurance you choose the plan and level of coverage you desire. Then you pay for it and the deal is done. The Obama proposal is far different.

Btw ... the correct spelling is 'morons'.

[KittyWampus]

9. The deal is done? What happens when you file a claim and an insurance flak tells you you've got

a pre-existing condition so they aren't going to pay?

[L0oniX]

11. Welcome to DU ...please check out our custom word glossary. We've all adapted the "moran" spelling.

The misspelled word comes from a picture of an idiot with a sign that said "get a brain morans". It's been a joke here ever since then.

BTW using the correct spelling, the word "morons" is incorrect. It should be "moron's".

[DesertRat]

12. The correct spelling is "morans"

At least according to this right winger:

[PA Democrat]

13. Because insurance companies are NEVER dishonest!

14. Review Medicare and then come back to me

Tricare.

Perhaps the VA.

Them guv'ment folks you fear so much CAN run a program efficiently. Just saying.

Oh and enjoy your stay

[L0oniX]

17. Maybe he likes pizza.

:evilgrin:

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. I wonder what toppings, was watching the food network the other night

and they actually had a chocolate pizza... not kidding

I went... damn that actually sounds descent.

[FlyingSquirrel]

19. Before you receive your tombstone pizza, you may wanna check out

the DU Glossary, where the spelling of the word "Morans" is explained:

[Odin2005]

22. Get a brain, Moran.

[deaniac21]

10. Not if you are 65.

[TexasObserver]

15. Worse! It's a lower level employee of the health insurance co. reading from a manual.

A manual written by bean counters, lawyers, and doctors, and designed to make sure Grandma's insurance doesn't get used up before she does.

[underseasurveyor]

16. They're too fucking stupid to ever figure that out

Idiot freaks! They gladly walk to their own demise with smug smiles. And if they weren't so hell bent on dragging everyone else down with them I'd be enjoy'n it a hell of a lot more.

[L0oniX]

20. Idiot nation.

[Odin2005]

21. A-FUCKING-MEN!!!

[L0oniX]

23. +1

[jasi2006]

24. Make a huge sign for the next townhall meeting. Great! nt
