Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

Do you agree or disagree with Limbaugh over whether the poor deserve access to health care? Why or why not?

Do you think Limbaugh is telling the truth that he is concerned with making America the best society that it can be? Why or why not?

Obviously the poor are unfaithful, so yes, they don't deserve health care.

Where in that clip do you get that Rush says that the poor don't deserve healthcare?

Watch the clip again. It couldn't be clearer that he feels anyone who is too poor to afford health care doesn't deserve it.

 

[Joe_Stocks]

Look like he is saying that the rich person will be able to purchase healthcare and a poorer person would be able to purchase less of it. That's just common sense.

Your point about 'deserving' seems to be a red herring.

Look like he is saying that the rich person will be able to purchase healthcare and a poorer person would be able to purchase less of it. That's just common sense.

Common sense for the economically disadvantaged to have less health care than the upper class?
Health care should not be a commodity for the upper class to possess and the poor and middle class to struggle to obtain.
Do you, or do you not, believe that quality health care should be available to anyone, no matter their economic standing?

Of course, Joe. I forgot. We're supposed to throw the less fortunate among us under the bus in order to achieve the conservative paradise you're always pining for. But I'm sure they don't mind being second class citizens. After all, it's all in a good cause -- so Joe Stocks can get a little bit richer.

So you admit creating your point out of thin air in an attempt to smear Rush to a crowd that already hates him?

As Dan Rather would say: Courage.

You are so very courageous.

I am doing no such thing and you know it.

You are in no position to criticize me, Joe. It's your kind who got this country into one of the biggest messes it's ever been in. Worms could have governed the country better than conservatives.

 

[Joe_Stocks]

Hi Sunstone,

I am doing no such thing and you know it.

Rush never said that poor people don't deserve healthcare. You made that point up.

You are in no position to criticize me, Joe. It's your kind who got this country into one of the biggest messes it's ever been in. Worms could have governed the country better than conservatives.

Oh, please. Bush expands government as much as LBJ and Republicans in Congress went along with him and you call this conservative. Get a clue.

 

[Sunstone]

Hi Sunstone,



Rush never said that poor people don't deserve healthcare. You made that point up.

I did not make it. Follow through logically the clear implication of his statements, Joe. Clearly, if people only deserve the health care they can personally afford, some will not be able to afford any health care. Sheesh. I would think even a conservative was smart enough to see the point. But I guess conservatives are dumber than even I've come to find them.

Oh, please. Bush expands government as much as LBJ and Republicans in Congress went along woih him and you call this conservative. Get a clue.

Is that how your kind justifies nearly destroying this country?

I will never forgive you and your kind for what you did. Never. You crossed a line. You don't deserve to be in this country now.

Hi tumblweed,

Common sense for the economically disadvantaged to have less health care than the upper class?

It is common sense in that a rich person would have more money to purchase healthcare than someone with less money.

Health care should not be a commodity for the upper class to possess and the poor and middle class to struggle to obtain.
Do you, or do you not, believe that quality health care should be available to anyone, no matter their economic standing?

Yes, and you don't do that by socializing healthcare. That just decreases the amount access to healthcare for all of us.

There was no implication from his comment. People with more money will be able to purchase more healthcare than people with less money. There was nothing about deserve there. In countries where everyone 'deserves' healthcare those with more money and more politically connected get the best healthcare. That will never change. I think he was making that point, more or less.

Is that how your kind justifies nearly destroying this country?

I will never forgive you and your kind for what you did. Never. You crossed a line. You don't deserve to be in this country now.

LOL! Be more of a drama queen. Is that your best Olbermann impersonation?

 

[Sunstone]

You are mistaken, Joe. He all but stated people deserve the health care they can afford, and the clear implication of his comments is that those who cannot afford health care do not deserve it.

"It is common sense in that a rich person would have more money to purchase healthcare than someone with less money."

It is common sense that healthcare is a right, not a commodity for purchase.

"Yes, and you don't do that by socializing healthcare. That just decreases the amount access to healthcare for all of us."

No, it increases the access to healthcare for all of us. Do you not realize that in most developed countries nowadays, you can just walk in to a doctor's office, get what you need, and walk out, without ever having to worry about medical bills? Or at least, that's what the people from those countries tell me...

There was no implication from his comment. People with more money will be able to purchase more healthcare than people with less money.

And therefore, continuing on that logic, since people with more money get more healthcare and people with less money get less healthcare, people with no money will not be able to purchase healthcare. Are you ok with this?

LOL! Be more of a drama queen. Is that your best Olbermann impersonation?

Well, your kind (far-right conservatives) DID start this country on the path to destruction in the 1980s and continued the destruction even further from 2000 to 2008, I don't blame him for being angry with you...

I disagree. I have watched the clip many times. It looks like you made your charge up.

Hi Sunstone,

Joe, to me it looks like you are being perverse in not admitting the clear meaning of Limbaugh's remarks.

Well then your country is primative. Everyone in my country has access to healthcare no matter how poor they are. No one deserves better healthcare because they are richer or politically connected. While I realize that it is probably true that they get it faster if they pay for it, and that does mean the rich have an edge, doesn't mean there shouldn't be a healthcare system in place that provides excellent healthcare to everyone. Where I live we don't have to pay to go to the hospital or a clinic. There are certain services that aren't covered, but they are mostly cosmetic in nature. Our street people have the same care as anyone. The one difference between the rich and poor in our country is the speed of receiving the services. If they are willing to pay out of their own pocket, they do get quicker service. That isn't right, but it is a fact of life. However, there is no one that is denied service if they can't pay. If they come into emergency, they get treated immediately based on the severity of their illness. It's not perfect, but it's better than denying people who cannot pay. That is simply barbaric and elitism at it's very worst imo.

Hi TAL,

It is common sense that healthcare is a right, not a commodity for purchase.

And you can show me this right in the Constitution, correct?

No, it increases the access to healthcare for all of us. Do you not realize that in most developed countries nowadays, you can just walk in to a doctor's office, get what you need, and walk out, without ever having to worry about medical bills? Or at least, that's what the people from those countries tell me...

Not quite.

Are you talking about the greatest economic boom in America's history (1982-2007) or the Federal Reserve creating the housing bubble with help from GSEs Fannie and Freddie causing this current recession? Show me where conservatism failed.
