San JosГ©, Costa Rica – Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh said this week he’d go to Costa Rica for medical treatment if Congress passes proposed reforms to the US healthcare system.
That might sound like an unusual choice, since this is a country with one of the longest standing socialized healthcare systems on the planet. Everyone here (including resident foreigner), are required to pay into the government-run health system, whether they use it or not.
But Limbaugh’s choice may also serve to advertise what many Americans traveling here for medical treatment already know: Costa Rica is a fabulous place for medical tourism.

Honoring CEC’s 2009 Rebel Without a Cause winner:
thank Goddess for Rush! Does he provide a link to this information? Tax increases on sugared drinks were in the stimulus and I didn’t know. Maybe he’s referring to Colorado’s lifting of the sales tax waiver for sodas, maybe not.
The stock market is primed to shoot up today, I suppose that is because of the stout defense of free markets by the brave defenders of the insurance companies. I’ve been wrong for so many years. I feel so enlightened!
This will be an interesting test to see if talk radio has any power at all. Maes pledged on the Boyles show to call for a grand jury investigation of practically everybody in regard to the Voorhis case. In return, boyles said he would support him for governor.
The caucuses are on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see if Maes does “better than expected.”
by all the people pledging their energetic support and then claiming that Maes was a virtual lock.
I was driving or I would have called to see if Maes could put some explanation to his budget
fantasiesideas.– O&G regs (killed production)
– 4000 state employees terminated (which,why)
– CO state employees are amongst the highest paid public employees in the country
– zero based budgeting (how does he think this will help)
Months ago
when he made these and other unsubstantiated claims he said he would get specific that it was too early, “months before caucuses”.
is that first, vital step in recovery for Co Springs and El Paso County
I second that Barron X.
I have to say, a friend of mine told me about Colorado Pols and thought I would really enjoy it. In the time I have spent looking through things, I have really enjoyed your input. This seems like a rough, liberal crowd.
As lots of conservative posters left the site, Barron has stuck with us, and I know most regular posters appreciate hearing his input even if we don’t always agree.
Quirky, but involved deeply in the processes, real life.
He is an asset here.
.
We share a lot more in common, including values, than we disagree.
What everyone here shares, even my dear friend SufiMarie, is passion. We disagree about how to achieve it, but we are all passionate about justice.
.
Doesn’t really explain how he came to his decision, other than the nice things he has to say about Bennet. This endorsement leaves just Diana DeGette as the lone CO Congressional Dem to remain neutral.

I mainly put this out there for Dave T, who seems to revel in the education policy discussions. Hope you find it interesting.
According to the writer we should not grade, we should social promote, and merit pay does not work. I wish they had done that when I was in school – I would have totally blown off every class I found uninteresting.
I ordered the book (from Amazon) and I’ll read it but I want to see the supporting documentation before blindly accepting those three points.
With that said, I can believe that teachers game merit pay systems and that many school administrations have been incompetent in implementing it and/or letting politics decide who gets the raises. Fixing schools absolutely requires competent administration – something sorely lacking in most districts.
