A GOP Republican's Plan For Health Care: Pay With Chickens (serious)
 

"On Monday Lowden appeared on a local TV programme, where she was asked about a mildly eccentric suggestion she had made that patients should haggle and barter with their doctors to save money on their medical bills. As you can see from the video clip above, she replied:

"You know, before we all started having health care, in the olden days, our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor. They would say I'll paint your house.... In the old days that's what people would do to get health care with their doctors. Doctors are very sympathetic people. I'm not backing down from that system."

Going to get a couple chicks

"in the olden days"

That's the problem with the GOP, no forward thinking and solutions, just wanting to drag people back to a time when people were so poor they had to barter for their life :disgust

Right ...

Republicans love the olden days. I wish there was a time machine so we could send them all back there.

Once they arrive back in the "olden days", they can all give each other reacharounds while they sing in a barbershop quartet as black people shine their shoes.

I saw an episode of alaskan bush people where the brown family paid the doc with a salmon...It was amusing to watch...

Here's the flaw in that moron's thinking.

"In the old days that's what people would do to get health care with their doctors. Doctors are very sympathetic people. I'm not backing down from that system."

How will the insurance companies and Pharma make money with all those chickens?

This just shows a Republican will say anything if it means they won't have to pay higher taxes.

back when cops were peace officers not law enforcement :thumbsup

It may be hideously underfunded but thank fuck for the British NHS.

I watched new episode of Average Serbian Family show which was only available in black and white......





































..... :1orglaugh

Are you fucking kidding? Nobody watches Serbian shows..

Yes people use the barter system, so what, the only difference now is using cash instead of chickens.

You do know this video is from 2010 and she is no longer in office, right?
