HaHAH!1 Faux goes to the LEFT of Obama on healthcare, with "HIS OWN DOCTOR"!1
Edited on Sun Jun-21-09 07:37 AM by UTUSN
The only slightly less deranged WEEKEND Faux & Friends (less deranged, SLIGHTLY, than the weekdays), promo-ed an upcoming segment, "What is WRONG with ObamaCare, with the PRESIDENT'S OWN DOCTOR, next!1"

That's the way the promos went for a couple of segments. Then, when it finally got down to it, "the President's own doctor" turned out to be "his doctor for 20 yrs UP TO the election."

O.K., fine. So then comes the doctor himself, one Dr David SCHIEN(sp)," who was in the proper condition of being in an, um, excitable? condition, upset, even edgy and outraged. Not to mention disheveled and a wee bit wild-eyed.

So, I was bracing to hear a disgruntled account of "ObamaCare." So what was it?!1 That it is an OUTRAGE that there are 35 million, maybe even 50 million Americans withOUT medical insurance coverage--uh, that would be RIGHT NOW, *before* "ObamaCare". The wingnut Fauxer, the angrier looking (= MORE WINGNUT) of the two males, found himself in the position of prodding the doctor along FROM THE LEFT, saying, "We in the U.S. say we have the best medical system in the world, yet we are ranked THIRTY SEVENTH in the world. Is this some kind of disconnect?/"

The good doctor was warming up and agreed fiercely, then really let go, saying that it is an OUTRAGE that women are seen under current medical insurance conditions and "their breasts are NEVER EXAMINED!1" Plus, that "Men are not examined BELOW THE BELLY BUTTON!1" And beyond this, the doctor sputtered that he himself is working sometimes, with uninsured patients, at something like twenty-two dollars an hour, which NOBODY (should?) do!1

There was not a word about "ObamaCare." It was all about what's wrong with the status quo.
