Physician Says Chubby Tea Partiers Most in Need of Obamacare

By Doug Powers  •  April 30, 2010 01:30 PM

During the Quincy, Illinois Tea Party that was being held outside a venue in which President Obama was speaking, Bob McCarty spoke to a few people waiting in line for the Obama speech while a local SWAT team held the rowdy and dangerous Tea Party protesters at bay.

One man, a radiation oncologist just the other side of portly himself, pointed back to the Tea Party protesters and said that “all the chubby guys back there” are the ones who need the health care:

It’s a medical fact that Tea Partiers aren’t as svelte as the “Health Care for America Now” folks:

And of course the leader of the quest for health care perfection:

If obesity is costing the health care industry billions of dollars a year and killing countless Americans, that surely won’t disappear just because taxpayers are picking up the check. In other words, socialism, to my knowledge, is not a known cure for diabetes. If anything it’s quite the opposite, as people who have to go get something get far more exercise than people who have everything brought to them. A doctor who advocates the latter is in violation of his Hippocratic Oath if you ask me.

By the way, Dr. Young W. Yu claims he sees patients who have no insurance and he treats them for free. If you’re in need of a radiation oncologist and have no insurance, I suggest you get in touch with him, because your Obamacare won’t kick in for another four years — if ever.

    I could make some snarky comment but the bottom line is that it is NONE OF HIS BUSINESS whether they need health care.

    This may come as a shocker to the Dr., but the Tea Party folks are MOST LIKELY already have insurance that they pay for. Unlike the freeloading 47% of the public that doesn’t pay income tax yet gets tax “refunds” and demands that we pay for THEIR healthcare.

    Does Dr. Young W. Yu know that at some point he’s made enough money? Does he know that his x-ray machines are about to get a hefty tax, making it harder to treat all those patients for free?

    Another foriegn born and trained doctor who left their communist paradise to come here to this greedy capitalist pit to work. Wouldn’t it be marvelous if some of these hypocrits would take their socialist horsecrap back to from whence they came so they could build China et al to a first world country instead of a third world country with a first world military. But noooo, they will stay here making the yankee dollar and keeping Americans guessing what they are saying.

    I’ve worked with several “foreign born and trained” doctors over the years. I can’t remember one of them being bad. 2 stand out. One was Syrian, Moslem, and an outstanding ER doc. I remember him because when he first came to work, he pointed his “prayer rug” the wrong way.(I just happened to pass by his office and glance in) We both had a good laugh over his embarrassment and became friends. The other, female, came from Sierra Leone, where her family was killed in the fighting over diamond mines. She hid and managed to get out. If I was in “critical condition” and knew either one of them was my doc, I’d rest easy.

    What the doctor meant was that he treats them for free and then charges patients with insurance or private means double.

    During the Comprehensive Immigration and Amnesty debate a few years ago I got Double “Lindaed”-Linda Ronstadt and that Conservative Republican Linda Chavez: Those two millionaire, American born Latinas have one ugly chip on their shoulder.

    Linda Chavez has calmed down I am told but call me a dirty name and I do tend to be a bit cautious. It is not that I resent a hot stove but I am smart enough to touch it but once.

    No and it compliments the fire in your eyes, goes with anything and is welcome where ever fine Bitter Clingers and Patriots gather.

    Good for you.
