Rush Limbaugh Praises Socialized Medicine: Union

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Right-wing entertainer Rush Limbaugh praised the U.S. health care system after his experience at a Hawaiian hospital over the holidays.

However, little did he know that the treatment he called “the best the world has to offer” at Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu was essentially socialised medicine.

In fact, as one reported noted, “[M]uch of the Democrats reform bill is based in the Hawaii system.”

Hawaii mandates that employees who work at least 20 hours a week must have healthcare benefits provided by their employers.

Plus, the health insurance premiums in Hawaii are the lowest in the country, according to the New York Times.

Moreover, almost all private-sector acute care hosptial RNs are in organized labor unions; the hospital where Limbaugh stayed is represented by the Hawaii Nurses’ Association.

However, Limbaugh has said that if the proposed health insurance reforms pass, “people will die.”

That said, 45,000 Americans already die every year because they do not have health insurance, according to a study published in American Journal of Public Health.

President Barack Obama claims Hawaii as his home; his family vacationed there during the holidays.
