Ezra Klein, one of the most informative, non-dogmatic commentators relative to all things health care reform informs us as to "the single best reason to pass health-care reform". And as to what an ignorant, demagogic blow hard is Rush Limbaugh.

Quote:

The single best reason to pass health-care reform

"I'll just tell you this," Rush Limbaugh says. "If this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented -- I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica."

You hear that, guys? Health-care reform will not only cover 30 million Americans and reduce the deficit, but it'll also get rid of Rush Limbaugh! This is, like, the best bill ever!

Update: It seems that Limbaugh was saying he would leave the country to get medical care. Which is still rather hilarious, as the country he chose has a socialized health-care system.


Limbaugh will also probably have more ready, less complicated access to pharmaceutical psychotropic and pain killing drugs in Costa Rica.
