Reply #53: Tell you what, double-d

Why don't you go commit a life sentence crime, if the life in prison is so cushy? Why is Rush so adamant about declaring his innocence, if life behind bars is so wonderful?

I was listening on Saturday afternoon, unknowingly to a RW station, where the host was pontificating about a woman who was on "lifesaving" medication, which cost her $1400 a day. Started in 1991. RW host was going on and on about how the drug companies let her go on the medication because "the government was picking up the tab". This person was kept alive to the current tune of nearly 8 MILLION dollars. Well, you would have to take this with a grain of salt, considering that it was a RIGHT-WING talk show host . . .

He was asking "Is your life worth it?" Yet, there's a law in Texas (signed by the current WH resident George W. Bush) which states that, if a person cannot afford to pay their hospital bills, the hospital has every right to disconnect the machinery keeping that person alive. DESPITE THE PERSON'S WILL TO LIVE, OR OBJECTIONS BY THE FAMILY. Something that was contradicted by Gee Dumbya's action in the Terri Schiavo case . . .
