I wish FAUX would show an episode of HOUSE, in which

[genie_weenie]

an unkempt Hispanic gentlemen, with a prosthetic limb would be admitted with respiratory arrest, claiming to be an undocumented migrant worker.

After the usual back and forth, the team would discover through subtle clues, this *illegal alien* was actually a US soldier and American citizen.

He could then explain, “I went Unauthorized Absence to come here because I knew I could get better medical care by coming into the emergency room as an alien than I could laying in my own waste, in a rat infested, leaky black mold covered room at WALTER REED or in the broken and critically UNDER-FUNDED VA SYSTEM.”

He would go on, “After getting STOP-LOSSED due to my critical mos, I went back to Iraq for a THIRD YEAR LONG TOUR. That’s when the STILL INADEQUATELY ARMORED HMMWV I was in got hit by an IED and I lost my leg.”

The team could learn his respiratory distress was caused by breathing in tiny particles of DEPLETED URANIUM. Also they would find some strange things growing in his liver which would be caused by having bathed and brushed his teeth in UNTREATED BACTERIA LADEN WATER supplied by Kellog-Brown & Root.”

Freepers heads would explode, but I doubt Faux would show such a episode, unless the entertainment division could demonstrate in the end how all these things were actually *lies* told by this liberal troop-hating enviro-kook.

1. House is the 'doctor show' in our household

But I always ask my wife during the episodes, 'Who is paying for all this high tech expensive medical treatment?' The only doctor show I've seen that even gets close to the uninsured is 'Scrubs'.

2. Yes. Scrubs just did an episode which showed that

they sometimes slip the uninsured in for treatment under the names of recently deceased people. E.R. deals with this too (can't think of specifics right this moment). But I can't recall House ever having to hold treatment because the patient is not insured.

3. Additionally, what really gets me

is how all these scandals can simply be ignored by the Regime and media! Not to mention Katrina or the rest...

It's not even arrogance or hubris or insolence or audacity! It an Oops Regime which continues to Rule...

I think the Plutocracy that is America has never been more apparent or blatant than now.

4. Yeah, I'd love to see that episode myself.

[deadmessengers]

5. Yes, and at some point during the episode...

...one of the House-lings will come up with a diagnosis of Sarcoidosis. I have no idea what Sarcoidosis is, but that fact that comes up in damn near every episode is a running joke between my wife and I.

6. Asses! Well FAUX managed

to prove that gulf war syndrome is a myth on House last evening. The marine was suffering a genetic defect.

Even the Depleted Uranium in his system wasn't "doing" anything to him. Only the blond doctor wanted to believe the marine, although House did sardonically quip "gee governments never have any reason to lie."

Oh well.
