Very happy to see that CNN covered this, finally.

AP also reported on this...

How Long Would You Wait For Free Health Care?
Thousands lined up for free health care near Los Angeles with some traveling for hours. In the wake of state budget cuts and a national debate about health care, The AP's John Mone visits with some of those who braved long waits for treatments.

1. Guess: Prohibiting doctors from crossing state lines enforces artificial scarcity...

thus helping to ensure high prices.

2. The shouting Republicans at the Townhalls need to watch this.

Viewing this video should be a prerequisite for entering the Townhall meetings.

3. Those a$$holes would just say ...

that charity will provide... just look at how much free stuff is available. Or they'd claim that the poor, unemployed or illegal aliens in the country shouldn't be cared for... because they're deadbeats.

The density of these folks really shocks me sometimes. I wish this video would help them understand just how backwards the US is with respect to Health care, but I'm dubious.

7. They'd claim they shouldn't be cared for and want them to suffer

They'd claim they shouldn't be cared fore and WANT them to suffer and DIE as soon as possible, because they R FOR EUTHANASIA in their case.

But CNN will never tell THAT TRUTH on teevee... Nor would any Dem leader. Why can't they COUNTER ATTACK these Retardlican a-holes?

4. Public Option

Bring in Max Baucus and pull a few of his molars with Vice Grips.

6. Hey- Oily Taitz is a dentist in California, isn't she?

of course I would never expect to see her at something like this. She doesn't even try to prove Obabma is Kenyan for free...

9. Stan Brock is a foreign infiltrator trying to convert the US to socialism

It turns out the dude is a Brit and everyone knows the Brits just love their socialized healthcare.

RAM (Remote Area Medical) is "the only nongovernmental charitable organisation in the United States that offers free dental, free visual, free medical, without any restrictions or questions asked". That is the dictionary definition of socialism.

Please Lord - who will protect us from his "free healthcare"? :eyes: :sarcasm:
