Boner says we have "the best healthcare delivery system in the world".

[FLAprogressive]

He might have it but we don't!!!!

:grr:

[walldude]

1. Sure as long as it's being delivered to him.

They don't deliver out this far though.

[davidinalameda]

2. delivery system yes

but actually getting access to it-hell no!

[AsahinaKimi]

3. He and other Republicans can see

A lot with their heads buried in the sand.

[spanone]

4. he's completely full of shit/can't name ONE program he'd cut...NOT ONE

[RandomThoughts]

You sure?

I think that song is about many people, in many places.

[2Design]

5. I and many others can not afford it - give us what they have or take theirs away

[Justitia]

6. What an outrageous, ridiculous lie. It's great - ONLY IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO IT.

I really, really hate these assholes.

[FiveGoodMen]

7. "He might have it but we don't!!!!"

That seems to be the guiding philosophy of BOTH parties: "I've got mine -- screw you."

I'll see your :grr: and raise you :nuke:

(and, of course :fistbump: to you, personally)

[napi21]

8. Does he mean the best Docs? If so, he's close to the truth.

Most of our Docs ARE good at what they do. THEY are not the problem. The problem is the built in excessive profit that no other civilized country permts to happen. NOBODY permits for profit health care!

[muriel_volestrangler]

9. The US *delivery system* is seen as close to broken by everyone apart from American Republicans

Th quality of care, when it's finally been decided who will pick up the bill, can indeed be world-beating. The major problem is, of course, that too often no-one will pick up the bill.

[HockeyMom]

10. Employer $160/month with a $3,500 deductibtle

THIS is the best in the world? KILL me right now.

[handmade34]

26. I was paying approx 60%

of my wages (what I paid and what my employer chipped in added up to over $20,000/year) and still had to fight for the few very small claims I made. I said, "No more" a year ago and will fight till the end for universal care and/or public option...

[DCKit]

11. He was speaking of the Royal "We". nt

[butterfly77]

12. FUCKIN LIAR!!!

[MrModerate]

13. And every time pied-eyed 'Licans make one of these contrafactual . . .

statements, a previously uncommitted handful of sentient beings overhears them and says to themselves, "Wow, those Republicans are really full of shit, aren't they?"

So I say, "Keep it up, Boney."

[leftstreet]

14. Maybe he meant healthcare "robbery" system n/t

[Kennah]

15. We do have the best healthcare delivery system in the world ...

... that private money can buy. I believe that's the fully correct statement.

[MrModerate]

18. Depends on how broadly you define "system" . . . Some of us do, for sure. n/t

[SoCalDem]

16. He's correct.

The "we" he is referring to, is himself & his fellow congresscritters.

[handmade34]

17. hmmm...

I could post hundreds more like this... John Boehner is an a%%hole

20. There's also this one from just a few days ago:

Sacramento girl needed amputations after 5-hour wait at emergency room

http://www.sacbee.com/2010/12/31/3290271/sacramento-girl-needed-amputations.html

[Drale]

19. Thats the thing though

in his experience we do, because he has never had to deal with real insurance. He only deals with his rich person insurance. Its all about perspective.

[handmade34]

22. "It's all about perspective"

you get a :toast: for that... It is up to us (lots of us) to educate him (them)

[Junkdrawer]

21. If you only count the wealthy, he's right...

And Boehner only counts the wealthy.

[kestrel91316]

23. I certainly don't have it. I got priced out of medical insurance and if

I went to the emergency room, they would gladly provide care and then even more gladly sue me into bankruptcy to collect every overinflated, non-insured-care dime.

[southernyankeebelle]

24. If everyone takes the time to call their congressman and senator and ask if they receive government

insurance for health care. I called mine and asked the Senator and Congressman's office. They both said they get the program. As republicans I want them to drop their coverage and buy their own. I know my senator is a millionaire. I also asked to relay to them everyone wants us to make the cuts for the lower middle class and working poor. I told them to ask them to take a cut in pay for the good of the country. EVERYONE TAKE THE TIME AND WRITE, E-MAIL OR CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS. If enough people call you would be suprised by the outcome.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

25. We = those Repugs can see...

...the rest of us are invisible.

[Ahpook]

27. I don't have words to describe my hatred towards these people

I wish these fucking cowards would get out among us slaves and say this garbage.

I had to literally stand on a nurses desk to get any attention for my wife. Of course the only attention I got was arrest threats. AND WE HAD FUCKING INSURANCE! They pumped her full of shit and watched her die along with her two children and her mother.

I am Beginning to think we have only one way to fix this mess! Can anyone else see them laughing at us Americans for putting up with ALL of this? We have stayed on the couch so far, so why wouldn't they continue stealing?

[awoke_in_2003]

30. the French had the right idea...

[felix_numinous]

28. Did he really say

'delivery system'?

[Chisox08]

29. Yeah for the rich and powerful but for the rest of us

HELL NO
