Teabagging Women on Health Care Reform
August 29, 2010 - 6:08 pm
After the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. passed health care reform legislation, two teabagging women took a break from their Tea Party protests to reflect on the current state of the health care reform debate. From domestic violence as a pre-existing condition to the failure of insurance companies to cover maternity care, these teabaggers have a lot to talk about and they address it all in this funny, musical parody video.
Lyrics:
Nazi-Bama thinks I need maternal care, pre-natal
My mom didn’t have it so why should yours?
Yeah, I’m pretty friggen stable
Grand ‘Ol Party keep it up
Grand ‘Ol Party dandy
It’s not too late to kill that bill
and with teabags be handy
26 without health care
I can’t wait for the future
STD or the swine flu and we’re in debt forever
Grand ‘Ol Party keep it up
Grand ‘Ol Party dandy
It’s not too late to kill that bill
and with teabags be handy
Insurance told me that I had conditions pre-existing
You got beat up at home again
And doubled-up my premiums
Grand ‘Ol Party keep it up
Grand ‘Ol Party dandy
It’s not too late to kill that bill
and with teabags be handy
Keep that bill stuck on the floor
Keep our government tiny
If that that thing gets through the door
We might have another option

Why I Hate the World ep 16: More on Healthcare
August 29, 2010 - 3:45 pm
I don’t know why all these teabagging morons are so angry about this Health Care bill, mainly because in this bill the Republicans got everything they wanted.
ULRS mentioned in the video:
Republicans oppose their own idea (i.e. the Individual healthcare mandate):

Senator Chuck Grassley flip flops on Mandate – because his party thought that up in the first place:

Myth: Illegals, Abortion Covered By Health Care Reform
August 29, 2010 - 1:23 pm
Each and every day in this country, Americans are grappling with health care premiums that are growing three times the rate of wages and insurance company policies that limit coverage and raise out-of-pocket costs. Thousands are losing their insurance coverage each day.
Without real reform, the burdens on Americas families and businesses will continue to multiply. Weve had a vigorous debate about health insurance reform, and rightly so. This is an issue of vital concern to every American, and Im glad that so many are engaged.
But it also should be an honest debate, not one dominated by willful misrepresentations and outright distortions, spread by the very folks who would benefit the most by keeping things exactly as they are.
So today, I want to spend a few minutes debunking some of the more outrageous myths circulating on the internet, on cable TV, and repeated at some town halls across this country.
Lets start with the false claim that illegal immigrants will get health insurance under reform. Thats not true. Illegal immigrants would not be covered. That idea has never even been on the table. Some are also saying that coverage for abortions would be mandated under reform. Also false. When it comes to the current ban on using tax dollars for abortions, nothing will change under reform. And as every credible person who has looked into it has said, there are no so-called “death panels” an offensive notion to me and to the American people. These are phony claims meant to divide us.
And weve all heard the charge that reform will somehow bring about a government takeover of health care. I know that sounds scary to many folks. It sounds scary to me, too. But heres the thing: its not true. I no sooner want government to get between you and your doctor than I want insurance companies to make arbitrary decisions about what medical care is best for you, as they do today. As Ive said from the beginning, under the reform we seek, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your …

Battle Hymn of the Health Insurance Companies
(AKA Let’s Save The Status Quo)
(to the tune of Battle Hymn Of The Republic)
Rejoice and let us glory in the profits we attain
By rationing the remedies for suffering and pain.
And no one’s gonna mess with all our monetary gain.
Let’s save the status quo!
Chorus:
If our healthcare corporation
Never faces regulation,
We’ll be brimming with elation!
Let’s save the status quo!
We bought a bunch of senators and congresspeople too.
They serve our corporate interests and we tell them what to do.
This gravy train will stop the day a healthcare bill gets through.
Let’s save the status quo!
Chorus: If our healthcare corporation (etc.)
Our PR team is crackerjack. Were framing the debate!
Were spreading lots of lies and were unleashing lots of hate.
Well drive a stake into the bill the day it leaves the gate.
Let’s save the status quo!
Chorus: If our healthcare corporation (etc.)
A decent public option is an option we wont bear.
And Medicare for Everyone would kill our market share.
Well never win the game if all the rules are just and fair.
Let’s save the status quo!
Chorus: If our healthcare corporation (etc.)
In every other wealthy nation healthcare is a right.
But not here in America, no not without a fight!
Were fighting for the right to monstrous profits day and night.
Let’s save the status quo!
Chorus: If our healthcare corporation (etc.)
