Open Letter to MMJ (Health Care Reform)

[Nikkogino]

Not gonna lie...this thread is getting boring.

Babe, there's just oooone thiiiiiing, one thing that does it, does it for meeee

Yo Nikk, honey, hate to tell you, but Jim was talking about universal health care when he sang, "Babe, there's just oooone thiiiiiing, one thing that does it, does it for meeee".

In fact, if you'd take your head out of Rush Limbaugh's ass long enough, you'd see that 95% of MMJ songs are about universal health care; or sticking it to whitey.

You are right.  Now that I go back through the catalog, how did I miss all this shit?  Like in "Phone Went West"...."Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right, tell me there's nobody else in the woooooooooooorld."  That is definitely about Jim's hope for Obama to get elected and think up the Cash for Clunkers program.  How the hell did he sing about that so far in advance.  

Edit:  Cobra is about the need for safer, cleaner alternative forms of fuel.  I feel dumb.

Into the Woods is about Death Panels for children.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Into the Woods is about Death Panels for children.

It is. Phone went west is about how all the doctors got scared away from socialized medicine and someone getting an abortion in a garage.

No, Phone Went West is about gays in the military and Jim's view on the "don't ask don't tell policy."  Listen to the actual song.

It's so bad you can see the pixels, yet I know one of the referring sites that has the most hits is yahoo mail, which I can only suspect means that there is a chain letter going around an office somplace saying "SEE I TOLD YOU SO"

the che tattoo is annoying...but what a hawt body!! socialist or not, our pres is smokin' !!  :D take THAT putin w/your man boobs!!

[Jaimoe]

I'm not sure if bear sin rug is being sarcastic or an idiot, but I'm not even sure most Americans know what socialism is. You've already been using and enjoying social programs and institutions for at least a hundred years or more.

[Penny Lane]

Look at history and tell me one socialist country that atually helps the people.. Just one..

A. Sweden.

B. I thought you were leaving?

whoa i just saw this. can't believe you're serious...but i'll indulge you if you are:

the US healthcare system is the most expensive in the world..(we spend about the double GDP that Euros do) and we're behind in all major categories; i'm assuming you haven't tried to visit a hospital around the NYC/NJ area (where most are bankrupt)

as of May 2007--comparitive analysis-www.commonwealthfund.org An International Update on the Comparitive Performance of American Health Care"Six nations studied (Germany, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK and the US) --the US ranks LAST....when it comes to patient safety, efficiency, equity, and access;
"the US is also lagging in adoption of information technology and nat'l policies that promote Quality Improvement"

EMR (electronic medical records) the US also lags behind Euro countries "as of 2006, fewer than 10% of American hospitals have adopted EMRs and other health information technology, less than 20% of PCPs use them"

i am not completely biased--the area where the US does the best is preventive care (and treating certain kids of cancers)

True....whenever Canada's, Sweden's, and Britain's leaders or celebs get cancer or need surgery, they hit up the U.S. of A.

That is what the song "Sec Walkin" is about....

That's so untrue it's not even funny. Sometimes a few Canadians pay for medical care in the US if they don't want to wait, but it doesn't happen very often and it certainly isn't a wise political move. Hospitals shouldn't treat patients as profit, but they certainly do in the US.

i guess it probably seems that way. right now most hospitals in NJ are non-profit and bankrupt, just trying to break even.

No one does, but every citizen in Canada is covered for all serious medical procedures and expenses. Overall, we wouldn't want it any other way and recent polls suggest neither do 90% of all Canadians. Maybe it's because we are more socialist-thinking. Anway, Canada has private clinics too, so waiting for procedures doesn't happen very often.

Maybe you are more Socialist thinking.  We are more down with the "make your own success, government butts out, seperation of my wallet and state" model of thinking....We wouldn't want it any other way either.......that's what most Americans believe anyway.  Of course, the hipster crowd and celebs are more in tune with Canada's way of thinking....they just like the weather better here.  

I have an idea for Canada....why don't you help us foot our military budget every year and we can use that money on health care reform.  It'd be only fair since you depend on us for protection.

Nikk, let me guess, you're a scared and angry white guy who has never served his country (and never will), who talks smack about the USA being #1 and is bent out of shape b/c just when you thought you were going to be "the cool guy" and turn your conservative friends on to some "radical" rock n' roll by MMJ ( to recover from your prediction in '98 that Smash Mouth was the new Beatles), you find out that MMJ is a bunch of whacked out lefty hippies who want to get rid of the good ol' USA and turn it into a communist state run by communist facist terrorist muslim communists who want to kill old people and veterans so as to save some money for the big Striesand concert at The Palladium and fly their gas guzzling Lear jets to North Beach to party with Perez Hilton and Hugo Chavez.

Am I close?
