Health Care Comic (big image)

[The Lazy One]

This is a comic by a lady from Denmark, showing the American perspective on health care. Her comments (here) explains the difference between the Scandinavian systems of healthcare and the American systems.

I think America-guy's reaction is spot-on for the tea partiers, how about you? And I have to say I laughed at the Russia bit, since I'm sure that's what so many people in America would think...

Personally, I think this comic sums up America's reaction better. But opinions.

[The Lazy One]

That one is good too- I love America's mopey face!

The Danish Anime industry is clearly thriving.

NEW ORLEANS - A parade of Republican critics, led by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, assailed the Obama administration Friday, vowing to reverse the president's accomplishments -- starting with his health care overhaul -- after taking control of Congress in November.
...
"Grotesque," said Newt Gingrich, who opened the session Thursday by calling Obama "the most radical president in American history." He said a Republican Congress can -- and should -- fight back by refusing to fund the health care overhaul until a Republican president repeals it.

So....how worried should we be that these assholes will actually attempt to repeal the health care bill?

Minimal risk, more likely than not. They have to get control of congress this fall (possible), but there's no way they can get enough to override a presidental veto. They'd then have to get a Republican president in, this puts any change at 2012 at the earliest. They would have to also maintain the focus on healthcare this entire time. Which, doesn't strike me as likely, it's a poor idea to continuously remind your base of how you failed them, and the longer they wait, the more people will benefit from the bill. It's in, it's law, it's not going away.

I got a question for these ignorant goat-fuckers. How will you not pay for the healthcare thing? Not pay taxes? Hope you enjoy prison, because the IRS does NOT fuck around.

A Republican congress I can see. I doubt it'll happen, but I can see it happening.

The Republicans finding a candidate to beat Obama in 2012? No way.

... Why is America broad across the front, but the others are stick thin?

I know, nothing really to do with the topic, other than artistic pedantry.

Anyway, this is my stereotype version of America (It should be noted that all countries in these little comics will be made from a Scandinavian point of view). He is a tall guy because everything in America has to be BIG. He is well trained and toned and has dyed his hair blond because to us Americans seem obsessed with their looks, yet he is not a health-freak (Either that or they’re ridiculously fat). And he is rather clueless about the other countries.
