The 4th of July has concluded. And with its conclusion, a refreshing burst of honesty has at last emerged from the Left to remind us all what emotion, precisely, they actually feel for America’s tradition of freedom and personal responsibility. Apparently, in at least one case, that emotion is sheer, bone-chilling hate.

In the following clip, courtesy of the Radio Equalizer, an unidentified liberal radio host, apparently filling in for the more identifiable liberal talk show host Randi Rhodes, recounts a tragic tale of how, while sick and worried about the costs of a visit to the doctor, she quite literally screamed, “I hate this godd–n country. How can I live in a place that lets people go broke because they get sick?! How is health care not a basic human right?”

Powerful stuff. Unfortunately, the anecdote this particular host uses to make her point rather undermines her ultimate conclusion.

To begin with, observant readers will note that this particular host is not talking about having to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even tens of thousands of dollars, for a treatment. Instead, she is talking about paying a potential grand total of $2000. Now, we freely admit that $2000 is quite a lot of money and certainly more than some of us could pay at one sitting. However, it’s not a sum we can imagine someone declaring bankruptcy over. So the question of how this country can let someone go bankrupt over a $2000 fee strikes us as a little melodramatic, not to mention a case of misplaced blame – after all, it‘s not the whole country’s fault that this happens.

Vid for context

It's really easy to leave.

It is a human right... to see medical care. Not to be treated for free. Sorry, I don't work nights/weekends/holidays for free lady.

Look on the bright side....this bitch can't live forever

They can leave

I love it when they tell the truth for a change.
