"Help Me, Bwaaaackter!"


This ought to make you southerners feel reeeal proud - cuz this story is out of Nevada, the state of legalized prostitution and gambling.

This Republican candidate for Senate in Nevada has a solution for rising health care costs: Pay your doctor with chickens (or other bartered offerings).


She has had three chances to re-phrase, back off, qualify her position, and/or correct herself, and she refuses.

So, will your doctor take chickens for your check-up? How many chickens does it take to get a full course of chemo? Or to get your monthly insulin? And what if you are a pig farmer: what is the chicken to pig exchange rate?

Did she even ask the AMA if they would go for this, cause I'm thinking not.
