Help send Rush Limbaugh to Costa Rica Forever!

Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh said this week he’d go to Costa Rica for medical treatment if Congress passes proposed reforms to the US health care system. That might sound like an unusual choice, since this is a country with one of the longest standing socialized health care systems on the planet. Everyone here (including resident foreigner), are required to pay into the government-run health system, whether they use it or not
“People travel to Costa Rica (and) receive the same quality of medical services for a fraction of the cost,” said Jorge Cortés, president of the Council for International Promotion of Costa Rica Medicine and medical director of Hospital Biblica, one of three internationally-accredited private hospitals in Costa Rica. “When people see they can get the same surgery for three or four times less, they decide to get medical care abroad.”.

And you thought Rush was stupid!
