RUSH: Here\u2019s Louise Slaughter with the sob story of the day. She\u2019s a congresswoman from Nueva Orc.<\/p>\n

SLAUGHTER: Think about what\u2019s absolutely important here. Not nitpick but think about all of the people out there every single day, the number of people with excess deaths because they have no health insurance. I even had one constituent — you will not believe this and you know you won\u2019t but it\u2019s true — her sister died. This poor woman had no dentures! She wore her dead sister\u2019s teeth, which of course weren\u2019t comfortable and did not fit. Do you ever believe that in America that that\u2019s where we would be?<\/p>\n

RUSH: That pretty much sums up the way the Democrats have been approaching this today, while the Republicans have been asking the Democrats: What the hell does this mean here in your bill. ‘She\u2019s having to wear her dead sister\u2019s teeth. And, of course, it\u2019s uncomfortable, they don\u2019t fit. Do you believe that would happen in America?\u2019 Yeah, when Obama\u2019s running things. Absolutely I believe it. It\u2019s only going to get worse, Congresswoman Slaughter. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I\u2019m getting so many people, this Louise Slaughter comment on the dentures, I\u2019m getting so many people, this is big. I think it\u2019s a one-time mention for a laugh, but there are people out there who think this is huge \u2019cause it\u2019s so stupid. I mean, for example, what\u2019s wrong with using a dead person\u2019s teeth? Aren\u2019t the Democrats big into recycling, save the planet? And so what? So what if you don\u2019t have any teeth, so what? What\u2019s applesauce for? Isn\u2019t that why they make applesauce? Didn\u2019t the Democrats want to tax dentures and medical devices and all the rest of it? They did. And to some people dentures are a medical device. So here\u2019s Louise Slaughter, (imitating Slaughter) ‘Can you believe in America, a woman wearing another dead woman\u2019s teeth?\u2019 And teeth are mentioned in the House bill, they are. I don\u2019t have time to give you all the details right before the break. House bill does mention teeth on page 1714 out of 1990 pages: Insured that pulpal therapy, not including 23 pulpototomies on deciduous teeth or extraction of 24 adult teeth can be performed by dental health aid therapists only after consultation with dead person who\u2019s lost their dentures. It doesn\u2019t say that. But teeth are mentioned in the House bill.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, so there happens to be a woman in Louise Slaughter\u2019s district wearing a dead woman\u2019s teeth. Let me blow the whistle on a guy where I live. There\u2019s a guy, I know it for a fact, where I live, who wears women\u2019s dresses. Now, what does that have to do with anything? What does that have to do with Medicare, Medicaid, health care summit or whatever? I don\u2019t know him well at all. I just know it to be true. Don\u2019t doubt me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Detroit, Michigan, Don, as we go back to the phones. Great to have you with us, sir, on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush, great to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to share a small story with you, unlike these teeth stories you\u2019ve been hearing today. My wife, after a routine blood test, was diagnosed with a little bit of a high sugar and they needed to monitor it. I\u2019m currently unemployed and uninsured and I went to one of the best hospitals here in Detroit, they not only did the tests, they gave us all the literature, the education, the equipment, the medical devices and everything to monitor her blood work, and they didn\u2019t ask me for a dime. So, you know, all these sob stories I\u2019ve been hearing is maybe one of a hundred. I don\u2019t know what the issue is —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, you know what, that\u2019s exactly right. And you talk about props. This has been nothing but a giant prop. Every Democrat\u2019s gotten up there and read a letter from a constituent or told some sob story and it all adds up to how unfair, rotten this country is, how mean the people in the insurance business are, how mean the people in the health care business, we need to do something about that. They\u2019ve been talking about this for 30 years this way. Tom Coburn made the point: ‘Mr. President, you go to the emergency room, you get covered. It\u2019s the law and nobody doesn\u2019t get treatment in this country.\u2019 And we\u2019ve heard the horror stories, something like ten people in some little Texas hospital account for over 6000 emergency room visits over three years. Yeah, really rotten.<\/p>\n

By the way, folks, have you noticed something today, have you noticed how all these Republicans sound just like Tom Harkin? Have you noticed how all these Republicans sound just like all the Democrats at this thing today? You missed that, Snerdley? You missed that? Well, then you obviously don\u2019t have your mind right or it\u2019s not screwed on properly, because there\u2019s no difference. Big difference, my foot. There\u2019s no difference, everybody knows these people are all inside-the-Beltway taxers and spenders, it\u2019s all the same bunch of people. E-mail from my listeners is telling me that every day here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
