To What Countries Could Rush Limbaugh Flee?
Rush Limbaugh has repeatedly said that "if HCR passes, I am leaving the United States." We know Rush is not a liar, so I guess we'd better take him at his word.

HCR has passed and is now the law of the land in the United States of America.

I've heard that a volunteer group has raised enough money to pay for Rush to purchase a one-way first class international airline ticket to anywhere on the planet.

But where can he go? He is fleeing universal/government run health care systems.

I know that the big English speaking countries like Canada, Great Britain, and Australia are out, completely out.

And don't even talk about France, Germany, Austria or Switzerland, Luxembourg or the Netherlands (although he may find it easier there to procure OxyContin).

Maybe he'd like to connect with his Nordic roots? Nope. Denmark, Finland, Sweden and even Iceland all have universal health care.

Maybe he would like a Mediterranean country? Italy, Greece and Spain are out.

Maybe he wants to be where all the money is. Sorry, China is out, they have universal health care.

Help me find a nice country for this man to emigrate to! ASAP!!

AMERICA - LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, that's what I always say.

3. Somalia. It's warm, has lots of beaches and little boys with inadequate
parental supervision. And the best part: no healthcare system of ANY kind!

10. I keep visualizing him going through customs somewhere, and at some point he's forced
to strip, and they lift up his belly and a missing Dominican boy falls out.

17. With the proceeds from his $400 Million contract ...



and whatever else he had and all the other slush funds coming in from Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco and of course from the insurance cos he could buy a fair sized island and worry about nothing for the rest of his miserable life. Who says crime doesn't pay?

18. I saw a map of the world the other day color coded for health insurance status
Blue was for universal single payer (like Canada and Britain), green was for universal health care by other means and gray for none.

The continent of Africa was completely gray. So Rash Windbag could go to Africa. And live among people he believes are inherently lazy and stupid. He'll be really disappointed when they don't make him king just because he's white.

24. I notice he didn't say which country was better.
Someone should ask him which country he would choose. There must be a country somewhere where they run things like he thinks they oughta be run.
