Lies + Creepy = Cleepy!

Dick, just answer one question: Before your prostitute toe-sucking obsession got you bounced from the Clinton campaign, you were a GOP mole, right?

Are my eyes playing tricks or is the camera going in and out of focus?His arguments, if you can call them that, make no sense whatsoever. We have nurses and doctors who are out of work all over the country.Dick Morris is a sleaze merchant and a lying thug.

Why’re all of these wingnuts named Dick? It’s like their telegraphing their punches with names like that.

Oops. “they’re”.

I think it is serendipity zirgar. They have teh magik you know.

Okay..so according to Dick we should be careful about letting everyone have access to health care, because that means that those of us who have aceess to health care won’t be able to have health care??????Scare me some more!!!

Dick Morris, the cherry-picker of data that supports his premise.”We want health care for everyone, that’s a given.”Then he proceeds to describe why we don’t really want to do that based on some totally unsupported notion that the doctors we have are totally utilized by the 250 million customers they already have and if we add the 50 million uninsured to their workload they will have to be rationed.No proof whatsoever that all the doctors we have are 100% utilized. Sounds like a crock of an assumption to meThe Doctor shortage would go away if the malpractice insurance problem were fixed. No one wants to be a doctor anymore because of the outrageous malpractice insurance premiums. It’s just not cost effective to become a Doctor in this country anymore. Blame the Insurance industry, the same industry that is responsible for destroying health care in this country from the other direction as well. Insurance companies are the only part of our health care system making money and they are making all of the money. The smartest thing we could do would be to remove the insurance industry completely from the health care picture. Let them find a new way to rob us blind.Dick Morris, a twatwaffle and a Dick.

Health care is already rationed.The ration coupons are those pieces of paper with the pictures of presidents (plus Hamilton & Franklin).

Not to mention the fact that, like ALL right-wing arguments previous and forthcoming, his rests its haunches on the blatantly ignorant assumption (though he states it more as scientific fact) that just because “250 million Americans” are insured, that automatically means that they are “already receiving good health care”.Uninsured folks ARE being neglected by a nation too great for such nonsense, but that is only part of the problem. Speaking from some terrible personal experiences with my past insurance company, I know that private insurance companies need a serious chin-checking. Lo and behold, you don’t have to scratch very hard at the surface of this “debate” to follow the $$$ right back to those very same insurance companies that know full well that oversight = end of the good ol’ days.Crooked motherfuckers, all of em…

All those FINE College Republican girls for Dick to choose from. Imagine one of them bringing Dick home to meet Dad…Effective curse, no? Makes ‘Drag Me To Hell’ look like a Disney movie.

ps:I find myself in Rocky Horror mode screaming “Where’s his NECK?!”

JackDanieL -You got that right. Health Care has been a runaway bonanza unlimited ticket to rob for the insurance industry. There is no real competition. They are not required to conform to antitrust legislation so they can LEGALLY fix prices. Their profit margins are calculated in ways that hide their outrageously obscene profits. The profit margins in the pharmaceutical business are also hideously obscene.

The profits are high on phramaceuticals, but they have to be high to cover the cost of development. Here is a quick blurb on the costs.”DiMasi, Hansen and Grabowski (2003) estimate the cost of bringing a drug from phase I to market. Their data come from the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (CSDD). The firms included in their survey represent 42% of all pharmaceutical R&D expenditures in the U.S. The authors found that the time from the start of clinical testing to marketing approval was approximately 90.3 months. This figure is in addition to any development time which occurs before phase I clinical trials. The authors take into account the cost of money used to finance the R&D using a 9% real cost of capital estimate. The final estimate is that it costs–including the expense of failed drugs–$802 million to take a drug from phase I trials to approval. Over 50% of this figure is the cost of capital needed to finance the R&D over such a long period.”So that’s 802 million dollars to bring a drug to market, before they even sell one pill. They have to get the 802 million back, make a profit while they sell the drug before it goes generic.Why does it take 90.3 months? That’s the rules imposed by the regulatory agencies.

Dick Morris must be one desperate pundit. I haven’t seen anyone ask his opinion on cable news for weeks now. I guess that’s what happens when you’re so consistently wrong about absolutely everything.

PharmRep,The pharmaceutical industry spends twice as much on advertising as they do on development.http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080105140107.htmYou are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.

I wonder why a recombinate DNA fully synthetic invented by a French company and manufactured in Germany sells for $30 a ml in Europe and sells for $100 per ml in the US. Those prices don’t make sense unless it’s just because the pharmaceutical industry is allowed to rob us blind in the U.S.I am prevented from buying it from Canada where it sells for $40 Canadian per ml. Nor can I buy it from Europe. I get to pay a federal government protected outrageous price just because I live in a country with highly corrupt health care and a government that has given the health care industry including the pharmaceutical industry permission to gouge people and rake in obscene amounts of profits. I don’t expect the Pharm. Industry to operate at a loss, but I don’t expect to pay 2X and 3X what the entire rest of the world pays.You thieves aren’t fooling anybody. You should be ashamed of yourselves you greedy prick assholes. Anywhere else in the world your behavior is a criminal act. It’s only not criminal here because you paid off our congress to allow the robbery. If you can sell it in Germany for half the price we pay for it here and make a profit, which you are, then you can sell it for that same price here. You just won’t make obscene profits like you are now.

The US has the most expensive and least effective health care system in the Western World, all because of a deeply ingrained fear of universal health care. That’s right, going to a European system would actually save tax money and increase efficiency. So, what is the problem again?

First, Beauzeaux, regarding your rationing statement, very funny.Second, it takes a year or two to train teachers? This is one of the problems with the state of our perception of education in this country. An undergraduate degree in teaching is a five year program in most colleges. After that, teachers are required to attend professional development courses every year. A huge portion of teachers today are working on or already have their master’s degree. That statement of his was moronic.Third, with regard to the rest of his blather, he has left out huge portions of health care workers, namely the care/case managers. You can have a single doctor with a staff of three nurses and five care managers and completely run a community clinic. I’m not suggesting health care workers are not stretched thin, they are. They work hard, long hours and are in most cases married to their work. But his assertion that you need a doctor for every patient, every visit is idiotic.England has the NHS, and still they’ve found the time and money to cure macular degeneration. They’ve also been working on electronic eye implants that work like the cochlear implants for ears. All we get here, PharmRep, is a lot of expensive drugs meant to perpetually treat disease instead of curing anything.Canadians have a longer life-expectancy.We already have to wait weeks to see doctors. Just try to make an appointment with a specialist of any kind.I’m sick of this right wing bullshit lies at the expense of lives. Sorry this was so long.

Um, Uncle Dick, what is the opposition plan? I think I missed it in your so very professional video. Ah, right, you have none. Just say no. Dick.

Is (Euphemism for Penis) Morris EVER weraing pants?
