Yeah, Art Bell did his show from the Philippines for a while. We wouldn't be free of him.

Hawaii has socialized medicine?  I thought only Massachusetts has attempted that on a statewide level.  :huh:
Hawaii tried to provide free socialized health care to those who didn't have health care but were forced to scuttle it after a few months after having costs spiral out of control.  They were apparently taken by surprise when demand was by far higher than predicted.  They didn't think that if they offered "free" health care that people would stop paying for health care in order to get it for free.  EPIC FAIL.

Rush Limbaugh announced he will quit the country and move to Costa Rica if Obama's health care plan is approved.
Right leaning Democrats and most of the Republicans will soon announce they have revised their position on the bill and will approve it ASAP.  ;)

Those that pay attention to mediamatters should be shot.  Twice, just to make sure.  Of course he didn't claim that he will move out of the US, only that he will travel to Costa Rica for health care if the result of Obamacare would lead to a banning of private practice down the road.

Coast Rica has universal health care and GOVERNMENT RUN MEDICINE. Surely the Rushbo meant a different South American shit hole with cheap access to illicit drugs?

I wonder if there is anyplace in the world that has a healthcare system Rush would like. I can't think of any.

Costa Rica also has cheap private health care for American retirees.  Costa Rica is a well-known low-cost retirement haven for gringos.

Looking at the link it just says he would leave the US which is presumably a requirement if you wish to visit a doctor in Costa Rica.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Do they have cheap private health care because of a vigorous free market that bans all forms of socialism?  Just out of curiosity, as a person who does have government health care have you opted out and purchased private insurance out of principles?

They have cheap health care because Costa Rico allows unregulated private health care for expats in their retirement communities.

I am requird by law to use only gov't run health care, which means that I don't really get health care, I don't even get to see a doctor when I'm sick.  I get a nurse or a medic.  And I have to drive 50 miles to see them.  the beauty of gov't health care.  :lmfao:

My family has a HSA, a good capitalistic solution.

So where's the part about 90% of the House & Senate voting for the health care reform bill? :unsure:
just a joke because Rush promises to leave the country :)
He sure ain't popular with Dems, and number of Republicans wouldn't mind if he left somewhere far away.

Source for this unregulated Costa Rico health care thing?
