senator Jim Inhofe is a republican Oklahoma
he was on WABC radio here
in New York around where I live that's the right-wing
talk station and he brought up
a personal experience he had with health care
and he said that he went to see his doctor for routine colonoscopy
kinda gross to think about Jim Inhofe and colonoscopies
about only routine like water do people go for call ask me like
every month or something is not whether that was a very rare thing that people
do
but nonetheless I've had enough we're talking about his Colin so let's move on
from that
oh and while he was there the doctor discovered
that his arteries were so blocked that he was quote
just about to die so he needed a quadruple bypass
which he got and in Haas said quote
you know a person can find out here in the united states that he has
this emergency situation we've gotta have immediate heart surgery
and if you're in a country other than the United States a lot of them
you can get it done in my case with my age
it would have been about a six month wait because I hadn't had a heart attack
and so the message there is and I say this to all of our American listeners
let's hold on to what we've got here your
talking to someone right now will probably wouldn't be here if we had
socialized medicine in america now
let me note the multiple ways
in which Jim Inhofe is incorrect so first of all dude
you have medicare now
a if you're but what the age I know sixty two or sixty five
over that in the US you you got social security and medicare
our other specific serve in of in particular because he's a a senator
I know they have a slightly different situation than you know your average
worker would have
but somebody in that scenario in the exact scenario he described wat have
medicare
so they would be alright they would get it taken care of right and then
I'll this idea that in a lot of other countries if they find something
imminent
that on FB i got now well peter also la you got time and
2017 September of 2017 will squeeze you in there
totally made-up totally not true
now look it is true that in some
places around the world if it is it a surgery
that's not a necessity needs to be done ASAP
the whole issue might have to wait a little while for now it's cool greatly
%uh exaggerated in the US and the EU that as a scare tactic against
arm you know socialized medicine which by the way those
systems are the best in the world by far but here is why
inhofe was able to immediately get help it was like you know drop everything and
will be surgery right now
because he's a fuckin senator or
he does show her work I love how
but people like him think Wallsend
I have the best health care everybody in the US must have the best health care
no no no no no no look there's at a real good case to be made and in fact it's
true
that for the top one percent of society or maybe the point 00
1 percent of society the US does have the best health care system in the world
because we have a essentially a very far right-wing system an economic system in
the US we have smaller government and other
modernize industrial nations and as a result of that is you know some
heart surgeon can get paid six hundred thousand dollars are a million dollars
or whatever the case is here because super rich people willing to pay him
that
and we do have a lot of the best surgeons and things like that in the US
so when the US you have the best health care for the register the Reg the top
one percent
right the ruling elite what everybody else gets horrible healthcare
and I do mean horrible because we're a 37th overall
according to the World Health Organization so it's not like this is a
debatable issue
right forty five thousand people die every year because they will have access
to basic health care in the US
but Jim in Austin sees he's ego centric
he thinks well torture me that's all that matters no dude what about the
45,000 dead people
what about the millions really don't have health care what about the millions
of people
home who go bankrupt because they don't have health insurance I need to get
something done
that's not a problem in other nations it's a problem here
in almost every single way
the French health care system the British healthcare system the canadian
health care system the Australian health care system
all brothers getting any region they are superior to us
flat-out superior so all the scare tactics about how
all we wouldn't happen in other countries free 1.0
pope actually if anything the opposite is true
if you're poor middle class in the US you have the same problem is a
as inhofe I mean you better hope that your his age in medicare can help you
because if you're not his age in your the private insurance system
real good luck nude
