Why does Rush Limbaugh compare Health Care Reform to Rape?
There are 50 million without Health Care due to the high cost. President Obama wants to fix this system so people have choices, and so that Health Insurance Companies do not take advantage of people. He also wants to make it possible for people to have insurance if a person loses their job or changes Employers. This will also help small Businesses who cannot afford to provide Health Insurance to its employees.

How many of those 50 million are illegals?

Because the tax payers will be raped to pay for it

It is. We are potentially going to be violated without consent.

Rush makes a lot of bad analogies when he is high.

I think Limbabble is consumed with thoughts of domination, especially domination over women. He is also into humiliating people stupid enough to stoop to his level. Rape is a way for him to satisfy both–domination and women. I also think he must be preoccupied with sex, although I can’t imagine any women would actually get naked with him.

It will start with a fraction of your income being taken away. How long until half of your income is removed so you will be able to have health care? Isn’t having your money embezzled from your pay check the definition of rape?
And there are 50 million uninsured. Aren’t most of them choosing to be uninsured as you can have a policy @ 200 a month or so if you want it? Couldn’t they sacrifice in other areas such as their alcohol consumption, cable t.v. and prostitute addiction?

He would rather spend that money blowing up brown people in a country with lots of oil for fat corporations.
Spend tax money for the benefit and welfare of all Americans?!?
That’s just crazy talk!!

Wow, you bought Obama’s BS hook, line and sinker.
This isn’t going to help businesses, it’s going to KILL them. If the current Obama plan scales evenly to cover those 50 million.. it will suck 8 TRILLION dollars out of our economy, a very large part of which will come from these businesses.
And in case you haven’t done the math.. the current Obama plan is about 4x expensive per person than what private coverage is.

WAKE UP AMERICA IF YOU HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE OR NOT, AND/OR GO TO THE DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL YOU ARE ALREADY PAYING FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT PAY BECAUSE OF NO INSURANCE AND NO MONEY!!!
When a person shoplifts the loss has to be paid by someone, usually the consumer. When a person receives medical care it has to be paid for also therefore those that do pay pay for all.
WE NEED TO FIX HEALTH CARE IN THIS COUNTRY
as far as limbaugh is concerned it is the Oxycontin talking.

You say 50 Million? Wow… your number keeps climbing every time. Possibly, I do not listen to Limbaugh, he is saying that you will be forced to do things that you are not going to want to do. Like go to a doctor who will take advantage of you like a rapist would as if he raped you. Interesting point, not sure if I agree!

Mostly because his addiction to pain pills made the anesthesia less effective–turning a recent colonoscopy into a most unpleasant experience that he has generalized to all medical care.

I’m thinking that military retirees are going to lose their health insurance and be force to go on the welfare government healthcare plan.
That;’s going to be like getting raped

Re-read your own question, and notice how you say that Obama WANTS to do this. Unfortunately his plan will do the opposite, and leave us paying significantly more for significantly worse service that 2/3 of those without coverage still don’t get! All for the low low price of $1 Trillion dollars! There’s nothing subtle about what the government is trying to do to us, and it will have an adverse impact on our bodies and our health. Maybe it’s not taking a disco stick up the keister, but it’s still a coercive plan to force us to submit to something that isn’t good for us, costs us a lot of money, and many don’t want. Rape isn’t about sex, it’s about domination of the body. And that’s exactly what Obama and his cronies want to do to us.

I didn’t hear him say that, but since you ask, here goes….
Everyone says (rightfully so) that rape is not about sex, it is a crime of violence and power. Likewise, ObamaCare is not about healthcare, but it is about the Government forcing itself on us so as to obtain power over us. Regardless of what you hear now, there ultimately will be no private option for us and we will be forced onto Obama’s plan. As oon as we are in the Gov’t plan, they will proceed to tell us what to eat, when to eat, what to smoke, what not to smoke, how much to drink, how much to feed our kids, how much to excercise, what foods to buy, where to buy them….the list is endless, all in the name of ‘We’re just protecting our investment’. Fascism has a new name, and it’s Obama.

How many of the ESTIMATED 50 million are offered Insurance through their employer? I have never thought to my self; “Self insurance costs to much, so we should forgo insurance, and hope we never get sick” Instead when I needed to i got a second job to cover the cost of insurance I had to buy on my own, or I got a second job to make up for the income I was losing out of my paycheck for the insurance premiums. People need to take some responsibility for their own life.
That said the federal government is calling it a choice. But its not a choice, I will be paying for my insurance and for the insurance of everyone else in the country. Which mean that Im double paying. So why would I keep my work insurance? I should just jump on the bandwagon with everyone else. Common sense tells us that people will jump ship on their private insurance quickly so they are not double charged for both federal insurance and private insurance. It is a backdoor way to hook us into socialized medicine. No one sees what is happening here. We are being roped into a system where some bureaucrat decides who lives and dies based on the cost.

Because he is a rich, drug addled dropout who has no clue about health insurance other than how to get more oxycontin without the charge showing up on his medical history.
