And, wasn't this debunked? Or did the real Starner Jones MD ever surface? I can't remember.

All that comes to my mind is, that doctor is a real asshole.

But the follow-up shoots it down as being evil, even if it is true.

the attribution to the doctor (Roger Starner Jones) is accurate. It was a letter to the editor in Jackson Mississippi back in 2009. Yes, a real asshole. He's in the wrong business. Shoulda been a judge.

It has information on 675,000 doctors.

"Starner Jones" isn't listed...

But I did find this:

'cuz i'm pretty sure the original garbage will show up on my facebook page eventually.

It's amazing that some people get so worked about poor people having a few "nice" things but don't seem to get equally worked up about wealthy people ripping other people off, laying their employees off even as they are giving themselves hefty bonuses and buying new yachts, gambling with other people's moneys, crashing national economies, etc. What's astounding is that the wealthy, despite all of their excesses, actually manage to get people vote for people who will, in turn, screw them time and time again. They can be made to believe that the wealthy "job creators" should get more and more tax cuts while the rest of us should make do with less and less in wages, benefits, etc.

It also doesn't mention how many children she has that she's drawing benefits on! This doctor is an obvious slacker if he/she can't get all the talking points into the story!

He also forgot to add that she had hair extensions or an expensive hair weave in 100 braids. A tacky manicure. Some other clues to let us know she was a Welfare Queen.

But maybe he figured R&B ringtone, fancy sneakers, and a gold tooth were enough hints.

prove everything you just said. Be sure to look back in time to when this person was born to determine where all the money came from and when Medicare started. Prove that this person exists and that this is the norm. Prove that you are a nurse and that this situation actually happened. Prove it.

Aren't they against the mandate? This doesn't make any sense.

they fell on hard times?

How arrogant.

Thank you for your piece of anecdotal evidence. I am unsure why you think this particular case of a woman who dresses beyond her means and does not take good care of herself is evidence of the fact that everyone who is poor would abuse the health care system.

Also, you're a racist.

I am ashamed.

It looked like the vast majority of people were wearing... are you all ready for this?

Clothes from Goodwill.

Shocked, right?

....would understand that a gold tooth, a few tattoos, tennis shoes, some beer, cigarettes and pretzels combined cost far less than a month's health insurance payment. Never mind that one can buy a Net10, cell phone for ten bucks, get free ring tones, and find designer clothes at the Goodwill. The local businesses (including Target and Dillards) donate their unsold items to the local Goodwill. I guess he never heard of gifts, either. Obviously, he never stopped to think that she may have received those allegedly "pricey" shoes as gift, either. Or, that when she got the tattoos and gold tooth, she could afford them.

It's sad that they don't seem to teach compassion in medical school. If they do, this fuckstick slept through that part of it.

strategy of convincing their base that "Obamacare=Free health care for Black people" has been a success. Very infuriating, indeed.

There are also rich people trying to lie, cheat, and steal as much money from our capital markets systems and legal systems. They come in all shapes.

I said it was infuriating.

And it *IS*.

For its message. For what appears to me to be a violation of the hippocratic oath (or am I supposed to believe that his dismissive assholery will help him give this woman compassionate care?) I *love* how he knows how much her shoes cost.

Really. LOVE it
