Here is the exact story. Limbaugh: I’m Moving to Costa Rica If . .. The nation’s leading radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday that he would leave the United States for medical care if President Barack Obama’s healthcare plan is passed and implemented – a comment that was erroneously reported as meaning he’d permanently move to the Central American nation of Costa Rica. Liberals who don’t like the conservative Limbaugh’s vociferous criticism of President Obama’s policies seized on the comment to tout Costa Rica’s socialized medical system, Limbaugh responded on this own Web site that they had misunderstood him.(I think it was the Huffington Post who took this story and ran with it) Sources: Newsweek .

Of course, it's an exaggeration like everything he says but I'd help him pack. Think Costa Rica is the lucky place.

1 Yes, but it wasn't quite that immediate: thinkprogress.org/2010/03/09/limbaugh-ex... truly hope that we'll look back at this Health Care Bill and shake our heads at this horrible aberration in American history.

2 And who said that that this health care bill was bad. If in gets rid of Limbaugh, maybe we can get Beck and Hannity to go with him.

3 As usual, Democrats have to misquote Republicans to make a point. Dems have to create a straw man. Rush never said that he was going to leave the country if health care passed.In response to a caller he said, in a toung in cheek fashion, that he would go to Costa Rica to get his health care.

He said nothing about changing residences. Republicans think Democrats are misinformed. Democrats think Republicans are evil.

The hate is on the Democrats side.

Does anybody in politics really care about health care or are people who die or suffer.

Does the American Health Care System need major reform.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
