health care reform is as good as passed

[realthog]

Why? Over at HuffPo Nicholas Graham has news about the clincher:

If Democrats didn't have all the incentive they needed to pass health care reform already, then conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh may have provided the final push they needed by vowing to flee the country if the reform bill is passed.

Responding to a caller who asked him where he would go for health care if Congress enacts reform, Limbaugh replied,

I don't know. I'll just tell you this, if this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented -- I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica.

What ol' LimbHawHaw failed to tell the dittohead -- possibly because he didn't know it himself -- is that Costa Rica enjoys a universal single-payer public health care system.

He might try moving to Nigeria, then. I gather someone there -- a Mrs Abacha -- has a trunk full of money waiting for him.

Yes, but do we want Nigeria declaring war on us for sending him there?

Hmmm. I'll have to think about that.
