Yeah, you can quote me.

Not much chance of that. You're my favorite wacky anarchist, strabo, but I

I'm personally in favor of good universal health coverage. Here's an
example of why.

A wealthy hospital benefactor was being shown around the hospital.
During her tour she passed a room where a male patient was
masturbating furiously. 'Oh my GOD!' screamed the woman. 'That's
disgraceful! Why is he doing that?'

The doctor who was leading the tour calmly explained, 'I'm very sorry
that you were exposed to that, but this man has a serious condition
where his testicles rapidly fill with semen, and if he doesn't do that
at least five times a day, he'll be in extreme pain and his testicles
could easily rupture.'


"Oh, well in that case, I guess it's okay," said the woman. As they
passed by the very next room, they saw a male patient lying in bed
while a nurse performed oral sex on him.

Again, the woman screamed, 'Oh my GOD! How can THAT be justified?

Again the doctor spoke very calmly: 'Same illness, better insurance.'

ROF,L! See what we're missing since we lost fee-for-service insurance? Those
