Beware of Franken, Mayo Clinic. No town hall meeting to hear the folks whose past, present and future will be Health Care, Franken just talks Obama's Utopia.

Franken should have toured the VA Hospital before the Government got caught and had to clean it up, then he might appreciate what the free market has allowed to evolve in the Mayo Clinic

Obama, Franken, Klobachar, Pelosi, Reed, and the rest of the elected Democrats will ruin the Mayo Clinic for it's Patients as well as the Doctors and Nurses

I guess Franken saw the Mayo Clinic and was awed at how backward it was and how inefficient it was. “Wow, this needs to be more like the Post Office or DMV” he muttered under his breath. “I can’t velieve there aren’t more bureaucrats”.

Uh. When we have a single payer system, who will get to go to the Mayo Clinic? For that matter how will the elite medical institutions survive?

Minnesotans who voted for this schmuck should be ashamed of themselves.

I am sure they are not.

[combat_boots]

The joke continues. Killer of a sense of humor.

[Son House]

Norm Coleman didn’t leave much of a choice after voting for last years bail-out, like McCain, it cost him the election

[Son House]

Right now the Federal Medical Prison Inmates in Rochester(think Blind Sheik terrorist) get better care then most of the rest of us that pay their bills at the Mayo Clinic

[Boiling Pots]

If his asshat opponent had not of voted for TARP...

[EGPWS]

FREE DIAPERS FOR EVERY ADULT WooHoo!!!

[Son House]

Senator Amy Klobuchar, who was in Minneapolis today, says the slightly different not-for-profit co-op, may be the way to go...

...Both senators seem to be in line with what the President is proposing.

Klobuchar will flip in any direction for Obama

[Son House]

“And one of the things we’re starting to hear is we want to have some tug on the insurance companies so they offer good rates to us. ” says Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

Free rates for all! Amy? Please?

[CougarGA7]

Clearly if Franken likes Public Option then it is definitely a bad idea. Here we have a piss poor comedian who somehow got it in his empty head that he was smart enough (pun intended) to be hold a public office.

I’m betting that until today he thought the Mayo Clinic was where they made Mayonnaise.

Some years ago, my stepmother was diagnosed with cancer, we live in Texas. While she was able, she flew to MD Anderson Houston for treatments (I realize the topic is Mayo Clinic but this is a parallel), she had a simple medical plan, not designed for catastrophic diseases.

My stepsister would meet her there and put her on the plane after treatment and recuping a bit and I would meet her here. It was a family effort, there were also flight discounts that she found out about in her situation. She was a cheerful lady, always had a smile. She paid EVERY MONTH $100.00, that was her commitment. She NEVER received a dun, ever, nothing but a receipt and a “Thank You”, this on a bill that must have amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

She had nothing but praise for those folks at MD Anderson, she said that she was treated with top care.

I think the world of those wonderful people. She said that a person is obligated, has a responsibility to pay as much a feasible and be regular. I strongly believe that her payment was looked upon by MD Anderson Houston as the “Widow’s Mite”, remember that story?

Obama, stay out of our lives!

Actually, it still *did* leave Minnesotans with a choice. They could vote for the socially conservative (pro-life, pro-marriage), economically wishy-washy Republican, or for the full-blown ultraliberal moonbat Democrat. I know I would have held my nose and voted for Coleman, who would vote with conservatives 65% of the time, as opposed to Franken, who will vote with conservatives at most 5% of the time (and only because he’s so far left on some issues that he’ll end up on the right by accident). But that’s just me. Some people, though, would rather have Franken in the Senate for 6 long years and see him vote for Cap and Trade and ObamaCare and publicly funded abortions and what have you so long as they’re able to say “we taught that Coleman to vote for the bail-out in 2008.”

[Quickgun]

Anyone who’d even think about voting for Franken is too dumb to apply reason to anything.

re: For that matter how will the elite medical institutions survive?)))

This is part of the irony. Once they shut them down, they can't start it up just because a VIP needs brain surgery. An institution like this is like the Space Shuttle, once it gets grounded, nobody rides.

One of my Dad’s acquaintances used to say $50 a month to the Mayo Clinic was the best Health Insurance
