How about single-payer beer. Monks would survive through Lent (and the rest of the year) on their heady brews. Now single-payer beer, that would be something.

"Single-Payer Healthcare" - Translation: Let's wreck the entire healthcare system so that people who are too stupid/lazy to sign up for health insurance can have health care, too.

Brought to you by the Democratic Party... The party of, by, and for the losers of America.

Hey don't give the socialist/communist watermelons any ideals. Free Health Care, free food, free housing and free transportation will become mantras up there.

prescription drugs are rationed.

The dirty little secret of socialism; necessities are are always scarce.
(except for the "Nomenclatura". You know, those with "badges")

"Yeah, we're gettin' tired of bein' told what and who we can shoot here in Virginney.

Evidently it's spreadin' real bad. Even to Oregan?

Some thaings need eatin' and some others need killin'.

You Government boys still trying to take our ranch?

You ain't heard the last of the Ponderosa Cartwrights..."

This is a good article.
Brings the point home quite well.
Automobiles are a neccessity.
What about single-payer automobiles?

Socialized medicine: The belief that everyone has a right to equally crappy health care.

I must admit, I was surprised to see this on the ballot.

It surpassed even the anti-cow bill in terms of blatant stupidity.

** Look at Canada where single payer health care has been in effect for nearly 20 years. Among the world's 29 richest countries, Canada consistently ranks above only Mexico, Poland and Turkey in terms of medical technology. Months-long waiting lists for critical services and referrals to specialists are common. Cancer survival rates are well below those in the United States and prescription drugs are rationed.**

Worth noting. Defeat this nonsense!

Hey, what about our fab single-payer schools?

How many single-payer (read taxpayer-funded) failures will it take before the sheeple realize that Nameless Bureaucracies managing Other People's Money to provide "free" stuff is always inefficient, low quality, and f*****g expensive? IT'S NEVER FREE and usually PRETTY CRAPPY!!!!

Everywhere I go - and I mean *everywhere* (not that I get around much, but...) I hear people saying that if Measure 23 (the Communist health-care measure) succeeds, they will leave the state. At least one physician I know is already making contingency plans to shut down her practice in Oregon and get out of the state if this happens.

If this passes, the Communists and parasites who are left in the state are going to get a very, very ugly surprise... They may think they're going to get free health care, but there won't be anyone here to pay for it OR to deliver it. All that will be left will be the "consumers".

Small businesses are *already* fleeing the state as a result of fiscal mismanagement and overtaxation, and the state is on the ropes as a result of the bankrupt Public Employees Retirement System which pays employees more if they retire than if they stay on the job. (No, I am not kidding). This latest Marxist "experiment" is just what the bOregonian sNewspaper, which NTS is *not* noted for its conservatism, called it - "a prescription for economic suicide".

But then of course this *is* the state that approved physician-assisted suicide... so I guess voter-assisted suicide should come as no surprise...

This is a beautiful state, and I will hate to leave it, and I don't look forward to moving back into an arctic climate like the one I grew up in, but, sic transit gloria mundi... Montana? Idaho? Wyoming? Alaska?

bump to the top...
