Ms Somers is still pretty hot(she has “aged” VERY well).

Well, the real reason she opposes Barrycare could be that it doesn't cover botox.

Wow, I can hardly believe that I’m in total agreement with her.

That made-for-TV biopic of hers, which was mainly about how she stole her husband from his then-wife, and blamed all her problems on her dad for being an alcoholic....had pretty much turned me off to her.

I also thought “Bailey” was always cuter than Loni on WKRP, too.

On that point, there can be no equivocation or dissent.

Socialist Ponzi Scheme??

Much worse. An affirmative action nightmare, according to this article at The Daily Caller.



If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor under Obamacare — if you both belong to the same race. Obamacare’s spectacular flop of a rollout distracts from its crude calculus that encourages the allocation of healthcare resources along racial lines and a doctor-patient system splintered into ethnicities.
.........
Obamacare, the report reads, “provides scholarships and loan repayment support for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds serving in the health professions, and it grants funding for the Health Careers Opportunities Program, which supports schools that recruit and train individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to work in the health professions. The bill also establishes a grant program at HRSA to promote health care professionals’ cultural and linguistic competence.

A 2010 report [pdf] from Families USA’s Minority Health Initiatives offers similar language. The report applauds the Affordable Care Act for providing health care materials that are “culturally and linguistically appropriate.” Families USA adds, “The legislation also provides grants for training health care providers in culturally appropriate care and services.” Grants are indeed handed out on a racial or ethnic basis. For example, Subtitle D, Sec. 756 of the Affordable Care Act lists eligibility requirements for mental health grants that demand universities and colleges recruit and “understand the concerns” of minority students, that programs offered to those students must emphasize “cultural or linguistic competency"— and the institutions must provide the HHS Secretary racial data on its student body, under threat of not only losing its grants, but being forced to repay them to the government.


You gots to be a bro [or hispanic] to treat a bro. Other qualifications for Med School graduation, not so much.

young Canadian medical students have no incentive to become doctors to humans because they can’t make any money. Instead, there is a great surge of Canadian students becoming veterinarians. That’s where the money is.

Holy crap. Will this be Obama's legacy?

Obama should've offered every new enrollee a free Thighmaster to appease Somers...

OK, but how do you resolve one of the real disputes of the late 20th Century, Mary Ann vs. Ginger?

We should get Terri to weigh in on Barrycare. She was a nurse after all...



And if anyone has Cindy's number I'll volunteer to call and set up an exclusive interview with her...

Culturally appropriate? Like Female Genital Mutilation for certan cultures?

My doctor is from the Philippines. I am not. I do not need a doctor that shares my ethnicity, just one that is competent.

Suzanne Sommers is really a pretty intelligent woman. And she’s conservative.

She was a HUGE and I mean HUGE Clinton supporter. Don't know about 2008. She ended up supporting Romney in 2012.

I wonder when the lights went on.

Didn’t they remove the tumor?

It was Steve Jobs that left the tumor in and went alternative medicine.

As an 81 year old I think it’s time that I searched Craig’s List for an ice floe.
