Bonfire of the Absurdities in News New Format

Florida doesn’t have enough doctors for Medicaid expansion says Fla Med Assoc

Florida doesn’t have enough doctors for Medicaid expansion says Fla Med Assoc. Interesting is that this “news” paper alludes to the FMA as a “lobby group” in its headline. What are the odds if pro-ObamaCare advocates announced “New health bill is AWESOME!” the group saying same would be labelled with an appellation sure to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the conclusion? Maybe they more likely be called something neutral like “consumer group”? Just askin’.

A FEMA camp for the elderly sounds like a Washington solution.

Since the Progressive idea of creating wealth is printing paper that says "money" on it, their solution to the doctor shortage will be to grab a million unemployed people, hang signs around their necks saying "doctor", and turn them loose.

  Maybe that's why they want to have a path to citizenship.

    I'm going to volunteer to treat women diagnosed with hysteria. What's that? The diagnosis of hysteria ended in 1952? Ok, we'll bring it back.

Let's get into doctors and money, too. My dad and step-mom live by Dallas, a large metropolitan area obviously. They have one helluva time finding doctors who will take medicare because they don't get paid enough, they have to hire a person to deal with all the BS and they wait forever to get paid. I'd suspicion when Obamacare kicks in it's going to be worse.
