		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don’t know if Miss Victoria gets the LA Times or not, but I’m thinking this story got her in a tizzie:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.latimes.com/features/health/medicine/la-oe-allen5-2009jul05,0,213990.story&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.latimes.com/feature.....3990.story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My rebuttal is over at dkos…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/7/7/751044/-Fearmongering-on-Rationing-health-care&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.dailykos.com/story/.....ealth-care&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In case anybody’s still reading this…&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’d be willing to bet that most churchgoers don’t give 10 percent of their income to charity, although they may give it to their churches, where it’s used for everything including whatever charities those churches support. (If they did give that much to charity, a lot of food banks and homeless shelters would be in much better shape.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Got some news for ya: Just for clarity’s sake, a lot, and I mean a &lt;strong&gt;lot&lt;/strong&gt; of food panrtries operate &lt;em&gt;out&lt;/em&gt; of churches. I’m sort of an expert on this, as I’ve worked in the food banking “business” (it wasn’t intende to be that way) for over 20 years now. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Social Security and Medicare are broke. Baby boomers, like me, are getting old and will soon be asking for it. Socialized medicine makes people die. You stand in a long, long line with a breast lump, clogged artery, or sharp pencil stuck in your eye, and someone like the DMV person, who can’t speak English, has chewing gum, an attitiude, really long fake nails that curl up at the end, and is talking on a cell phone, enjoying their power trip moment, is finally face to face with you. They mumble something incoherent about paperwork. You die. One less person in line for Social Security and Medicare!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the above isn’t a classic case of projection, I don’t know what is! This may be how Victoria Jackson would behave if she had a job doing patient intake for the injured. It certainly fits the stereotype that Republicans like to push about any bureaucratic service for the vulnerable. Lifted straight from the “welfare queen” meme.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Victoria Jackson sounds bitter and fearful about facing aging’s honesty.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Old people are already on government-run Medicare, which means Obama could murder them without going to the trouble of creating a whole new health care system, no?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;More likely an actuary explained to her how private insurance companies will be able to make even more profits dumping all risky patients from their coverage by tightening underwriting and/or trimming coverage. They may insure fewer patients, but if the profit margin is greater per patient then the trade off is not terrible. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With a public option, private health insurance companies will be able to cherry pick who they want to insure and to what extent. The public option plan will be compelled to take those patients whose health profiles pose higher risks and thus higher expense. If the public health plan has too many unhealthy patients enrolled, then eventually it may become unaffordable while the private insurance plans prosper.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The public option plan is vastly inferior to a universal single payer plan. The great danger is that the joint conferees will draft a public option plan that ensures its demise over time. In fact, I’m cynical enough to bet that that is exactly what will happen.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Late Night Jabberwocky Smackdown&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As Dennis Miller’s sociopath sidekick on a Fox Comedy Hate Fest, Victoria Jackson should be duking it out with Paul Schaffer &amp; Andy Richter. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She made more sense on SNL reciting fractured verse in a handstand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m not a vacuous bimbo.  I just play one on TV.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Relax guys, she’s no Gracie Allen and Dennis is no George Burns.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wait a minute, dammit. I’m a grannie! Ergo, I am an endangered species. Ergo, I qualify for government protection from the, ummm, government. Yeah! That’s it!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you can sign up for your socialized health care at the booth located on the nearest ice floe&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it’s mandatory, btw&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and bring a lunch&lt;/p&gt;
