Rush Limbaugh Will Leave US if HCR Passes
The hits keep coming. Rush Limbaugh says he will leave the US and move to Costa Rica if HCR passes:

For that I'll pay the tax on cadillac health insurance if turns out that's what I have. There's one problem, Rush can't move to Costa Rica. I mean, this is a country with no standing army, and whose citizens pride themselves on having more teachers than police. Costa Rica is the country where eco-tourism was invented. If the western hemisphere had an official Liberal Wuss Homeland it would be Costa Rica.
No, Rush needs a country where there is no govt. health care, where the central government is weak, where guns are unregulated and freely available, where women are kept covered up and quiet, and if drugs are freely available that too would be a plus. He needs to go to Afghanistan!
The caveat is that he wouldn't leave until 5 years from now--once all the reforms of this particular HCR package have gone into effect.
The question for Rush is this:
If this HCR package also included a robust public option, would he leave sooner?
If he agrees to that, then I think we're getting somewhere.

Funny! Rush may have inadvertently created the missing support for passing the HCR bill.

If you count a handful of TPM readers - maybe. If you count Rush's listeners, I doubt it.

That should add 10-15 points to the approval percentage of HCR.

Actually, I think that's the plan for a lot of wealthy guys in this country. Wring every buck out of it you can and then take off to a tax-free tropical haven.

Please please please please please.
As the vote comes near, can we set up a fund to buy advertising time.
When this bill passes, I want Rushbo to hear his own words every day until he gets his fat ass out of my country.

I wonder what health care is like in Costa Rica? Last I checked they ranked better than ours don't they? I think it is funny and to Rush I ask "Do you need help packing?"

They are ranked #36, we're #37, so it will be a step up for him...Hope he doesn't let the door hit him in the butt when he leaves!
BTW, missed you at my post earlier...check it out if you get a chance.

Well he certainly is not a man of his word.
Let us pray that he keeps his word on this one.
He has threatened this before.

Unofrtunately, even if he carries out his offer of leaving our country he hasn't offered to stop broadcasting which would be a far greater gift. Now if he promises that I'd be willing to support alot of noxious provisions in legislation to see that come about.
