Stop the Stimulus

Onion promotes state run health care
Nothing pisses me off more than liberal dogma infiltrating some form of comedy that I enjoy. Gist: “Conservatives enjoy paying high premiums for mediocre health care”. Claims system is 37th best in the world. If best means affordability, then obviously the indirect-tax supported systems appear more affordable, but I have a very hard time believing India has a better health care system....

To play a song like that right after doing a story on our government is...
