Limbaugh in Hospital
December 31st, 2009 | by Sqotty |News of Rush Limbaugh’s being hospitalized with chest pains reached my monitor this morning. It’s a crummy way for 2009 to end for him. I wish him well and a speedy recovery. Unlike some bozos around the blogosphere.
Recently, Limbaugh has been an ardent critic of ObamaCare and the government takeover of our healthcare system. One thing that Ann Althouse pointed is:
Rush Limbaugh has said on his show many times that once the government runs health care, there is a threat that life-or-death decisions will be made based on politics, and people will worry that if they criticize the government or espouse the wrong opinions decisions will go against them.
A darn good point that had not previously occurred to me. I don’t listen to Limbaugh’s show or follow his website, I am not a ditto-head or fan of his, even though I agree with most of his positions.
This is a chilling notion, the thought that government could decide who should receive what treatments or medications based on their political ideology; that government should be able to determine who lives and who dies based on whether or not they agree with the people in power. Scary stuff. Amd potentially real, especially if the Left realizes their end-game of full-on socialized health care system (single-payer).
Get well, Mr. Limbaugh. America needs you voice, now more than ever.
