If a doctor cuts off the wrong body part, do you sue him/her for a chicken. VIDEOS

Someone want to tell Sue - we ain't happy about her idea.

I've been thinking about this and would like to know what most people would say in response to Sue Lowden's idea of bartering for health care.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20003163-503544.html

Should we now keep chicken coops in our back yards just in case we catch a cold and need to barter for anti-biotics or even a diagnosis to the virus we may or may not have. Hmmm? Has anyone ever cleaned out a chicken coop - I have - not a fun job and doesn't help making impressions on the neighbors - the smell could knock your nose straight to the back of your head and your eyes are not long following.

How about something more dire - do we keep sheep, cows, exotic LLamas just in case of an emergency - like a burst appendix or a concusion or blood transfusion - gee what do you think that will cost - 4 chickens and a pig. What size does the pig need to be and would the doctor have change for a 20 lb pig? Do they have an exchange for pig weight. On the other hand, how big can you grow a pig - would the pig have to be hogzilla to get a heart transplant. How many hogzillas would this barter system require the patient to provide to the doctor for a hip transplant? What do you pay to get a boob job?

Then we come to the question, What happens if you paid the doctor with your chickens and two cows and the doctor cuts the wrong body part off. What do you sue for - a few chickens and a slab of bacon? What if that body part was the wrong leg? What if that body part was suppose to be a gangerous toe and the good ol' doctor cut your penis off (sorry guys - put that in for shock effect) because you were such an @!$%# haggling about one or two chickens and the doc really wanted three chickens.

This is what the Republicans call their new plan to replace and repeal. Really, Really, Really?

Well, I think everyone who is paying for Sue Lowden to open her mouth and speak for them should start paying Sue Lowden with exactly what she would have you pay your doctor - Don't forget - An egg will get you that extra pain killer (only 1/4 - you need a dozen for the whole pill) for that slipped disc.

Here this says it all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZezfjWox5s

I'm laughing to much to continue........

Gee would Judge Judy accept chickens for her service - maybe Judge Wopner - but Judy? I don't know...

I wonder how long it would take Congress to write up a bill and get it past for this chicken barter systems.

Talk about wealth distribution - What are the lawyers going to do with chicken and pigs - you think there is room in their multimillion dollar mansions - maybe in the pool house - what do you think? Do you think the banks will take that kind of payment for mortgages?

DEBKI - Check out lowdenplan.com

It is a handy little tool that will tell you the exact number of chickens you will need for a flu shot or even a hip replacement!!

I cannot believe someone put this on the web so fast !

Too funny, Debeki.

Thanks for the link, btco--fantastic disclaimer at the bottom, too.

I think we should require all corporations to make their campaign contributions in the form of livestock. Lobbyists will no longer be able to offer bribery in the form of fancy dinners, expensive gifts or trips--but instead they could tend the growing herd at each politician's home in exchange for some of his or her time.

Owe some taxes? Pay with produce.

Gas tank on empty? See if the gas station owner can convince the parent oil company to let him accept vouchers for house-painting or lawn care, which he will then pass on to Exxon in exchange for gasoline.

If physicians are supposed to be able to cover their own costs with chickens (I'm sure the office staff will be happy to take some home in place of a paycheck, and equipment/supplies can be procured using the same currency...) then everyone else should be able to function within a purely barter-based economy as well, right?

I think an entrepreneur would have no problem selling "drag-trailers" for all of us to hitch up to our cars and trucks. We're going to need them to carry all that produce and farm animals.

So how much room do you have in your back yard.

You have just been transfered to the "way-back machine" (dizzy lights are flashing) and Bam,,,,,

The Hordes smash through the doc's door - hurry, help - skull busted open - do something doc.

The doc says, "What can you pay me with - Well what do you have in your wallet."

The horde leader feeks for his ginormous pelt-pocket, located on his furred rump, and pulls out a credit card.

The doc says, "Nope, that won't work - need two chickens, four ducks and a partridge in a pear tree."

The horde smacks upside the head of his horde second-in-command - "I told you this was going to cost the us the farm - dang it. Next time you think of drinking and carrying a club, I'm going to smack the thought right out your left ear."

This is so funny.

DEBEKI........ you are right. If we paid in chicken and it was the wrong type of treatment that lead to body harm do we sue for chickens. What if I have chickens going though my roof. Wow this is the Rep that is leading Sen. Reid in Nevada.

Hey my Ol' Friend - haven't seen you in a while - Good to "read" you again.

That's what those "FEMA" Camps Glenn Beck has been screaming about are for?

He has just been misdirecting our attention by making us look straight at the camps, but telling us all that it's Obama who is rounding everyone up????? Those dastardly, Republicans... sneakly setting up Fema camps for doctors to horde all the chickens in the world. Oh NO - the chickens, the chickens, my life for the chickens....giggle.

Is the government going to declare chickens legal "tender"? What if my doctor doesn't wish to be paid in chicken tenders? What if he refuses to bargain with me? What about the hospital bill? What are the hospitals supposed to do with all these chickens? Are we going to replace banks with henhouses? What if my chicken dies on the way to the doctor's office? Is it still considered payment? Or am I supposed to mail the chickens to my creditors? I'm worried about the logistics of The Egg and I economy.

Good Questions sms29s66

Good questions - will our economy become eggonomy - pigonomics. Will the chicken be stamped with a "raised fraud strip"? Wouldn't want "funky chicken tenders"?

Bring on the jokes - can't wait for the opposition to defend this.

When the Cajuns were expelled from Canada in the 1700's, they referred to it as the Grand Derangement which can be translated as the big bowel movement.

wait your not going to pluck and cook the chicken first?
when your slack, how can you yell at your doctor for being slack too.
And we need tort reform to make sure you cant sue for bacon.. that is just too much,
Most doctors went to medical school just for the extra bacon.
You start sueing for bacon and we will have no doctors left.

Gee JoulesBeef

I don't think she thought about that - with inflated cost in health care - I can't aford bacon. All I have is SPAM (the mystery meat). I really need to get this ingrown toenail removed. Should I wait until I can afford bacon? Gee I wouldn't what my left boob cut off instead of this ingrown toenail getting fix - I guess I'll wait until I can get some bacon.

Hey I know - trade you my "daffy duck" for your "porky pig bacon"....Please.

Joules, Joules, Joules. How dumb can you be? You have to take the chicken in live. If you cook it, it will go bad while you're sitting hours on end in the waiting room.

One thing that may happen is that city folk will now come to the country to "acquire" health payments, we farmers will have to lock up our animals.

LOL - I think the doctor would be asking the patient that question - especially if the patient is there for some viagra. (giggling)

    What happens if your chickens come home to roost? Is that like writing a bad check?
