Oh lordie, Rush has threatened to leave the country if health care reform gets passed. Do you think he is only toying with us, or is it for real? Would he really leave? That would be like winning the lottery on XMAS! IN CASE DEMS NEEDED ADDED MOTIVATION.... A caller asked right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh yesterday where he would "go for health care" if the Democratic health care reform package passes. "I'll just tell you this," Limbaugh said. "If this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented -- I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica." There are so many reasons why health care reform would benefit the country. In case proponents needed another, Limbaugh just gave them one. Adding details and context to Limbaugh's nonsense is usually a waste of time, but it's probably worth noting that Costa Rica would be an interesting choice for Limbaugh's self-imposed exile. The national health care system in Costa Rica is socialized and generally considered the best in Latin America. Indeed, the World Health Organization ranks Costa Rica's system as slightly better than ours. Nevertheless, if Limbaugh is sincere about his willingness to leave the United States, I don't imagine he'd have to pay for his own plane ticket or moving expenses -- there are millions of Americans just waiting to chip in.
