RUSH: Josh in Rexburg, Idaho. Great to have you on Open Line Friday. Hi.
CALLER: How you doing? I just wanted to talk to you. My comment, first off, I guess I’d like to say, is currently I don’t have health insurance. With that being said, I have an $8,000 baby bill that comes to my house every other day saying I have to pay for it that I can’t afford. With that said, I am still very strongly against the national health plan that is going on right now. Let me explain why. This is a power grab. This is about control. It’s not about health care.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: I lived in England for two-and-a-half years. Okay? And when I worked there, I saw a lot of things happen. One of the things — there are many things, but one of the few things was ladders. If I took a ladder to the construction site the former would inform me that I couldn’t use a ladder because it was against the law now, too many people falling off ladders, cost too much for the national health care. Fast food restaurants. You go to a fast food restaurant when I was there you get a decent portion. Government came out and said, too unhealthy, costing too much in our health care, we are now regulating —
RUSH: I know, that’s exactly what’s going to happen here. I’ve been predicting it. I’m struck by something you said at the beginning of the call. Every other day you get a bill for $8,000 for a baby?
CALLER: Yeah. Some bill, this bill, that bill, this bill, that bill.
RUSH: Is there a baby?
CALLER: Huh?
RUSH: Is there a baby?
CALLER: Yeah, there is a baby. Six weeks old.
RUSH: Six weeks old, $8,000 bill, every other day you get the bill for it?
CALLER: Well, much different — well, I get a bill from the hospital, I get a bill from the doctor —
RUSH: Oh, oh, oh, I see, I see.
CALLER: — from the anesthesiologist. One of the things I want to point out, Rush —
RUSH: I’ve run out of time. I shoulda taken your call earlier. I’m sorry. But I don’t have the flexibility here as we get to the end of the program. I just hope they don’t repossess the kid.
