I did not know that there was such a rush to flee US.


When Rush Limbaugh flippantly said that if the healthcare reform bill
passes "and all this stuff gets implemented, I am leaving the country.
I'll go to Costa Rica," many of us considered that the lagniappe on a
measure we're already pretty jazzed about.

And so, after Sunday's historic passage of the bill, there was a burst
of
collective hope that the bloviating fan of prescription drugs might soon
be Central America's problem. (Just don't tell him about Costa Rica's
successful universal healthcare system.)

But when Monday came and went and Limbaugh issued no "Hasta la vista,"
two
enterprising "dudes living in Brooklyn" named Mike and Patrick decided
to
help move things along. They created A Ticket for Ru$h, where visitors
can
contribute -- $1 at a time -- toward the cost of a first-class, one-way
ticket to Juan Santamaria International Airport.

How eager was the Web community to expedite Limbaugh's transfer to
balmier
climes? Within 18 hours, the site had raised close to $1,500. But Mike
and
Patrick, who say they're currently uninsured, are still collecting
donations and busily researching "the cost of a modest apartment in
Costa
Rica, cost of a moving service, and cost of Spanish lessons (just to be
safe)." They're running their drive until the last day of April, when,
they vow, they'll contact Rush directly with their generous offer.


Limbaugh's current difficulties unloading his Liberace museum-inspired
Manhattan apartment indicate both a desire to move and a shortness of
funds, so one might think he'd leap at this opportunity like a Central
American squirrel monkey on a tree frog. But if the pundit balks at
leaving his murals of beaches for real beaches, Mike and Patrick have
pledged to give all the money to a good cause. They've earmarked the
donations they collect to go to the organization Limbaugh recently
described as "giddy because of all the new abortions there are going to
be" under healthcare reform: Planned Parenthood.

He doesn't need to leave the country because the USA no longer exists,
welcome to Ameristan! So much for Bi-partisan, so much for Obama's 5
days
before signing any bill, so much for the constitution. Thanks to the
Democrats we have the Divided States of Ameristan.

Don't worry, Roger. When the public sees how much better this bill is
going to make their health care they will not stay divided long. When you
consider all the lies told by the right, when the people find out the
truth, that they benefit from the health care reform the divisions created
by right wing lies will quickly fade. Things are going to get better. As
you will soon find out, the right has been telling you lies again, and
again you fell for them. Did you forget the lies about WMDs already? You
still trust the republicans when they tell you things? What's that thing
Bush said fool me once shame on me...you know the rest that Bush
butchered.

Even Obama's own Doctor cousin said this health care bill was bad. But, I
guess we'll see.
