Rep. Shadegg: ‘We’re getting full on Russian gulag, Soviet-style gulag healthcare.’
Rep. Shadegg: ‘We’re getting full on Russian gulag, Soviet-style gulag healthcare.’
Yesterday on the floor of the House of Representatives, Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) ranted against health reform. While his colleagues have used inflammatory rhetoric to denigrate various health proposals — like inventing imaginary “death counselors” and saying reform will “absolutely kill seniors” — Shadegg’s speech hit a new low. Shadegg said health reform will result in “Russian gulag, Soviet-style gulag healthcare”:
SHADEGG: You know, it occurs to me, and I’ll go through these other scandals very quickly, but what we’re really getting here is we’re not just getting single-payer care. We’re getting full on Russian gulag, Soviet-style gulag health care [...] It appeared in last Friday’s Wall Street Journal. You can Google it. You can pick up the phone and call Kim Strassel. You can ask her about Soviet-style gulag health care in America, where powerful politicians protect their constituents.
Watch it:
The Soviet gulags were a network of prisons and forced labor camps that held as many as 20 million people during Stalin’s reign of terror. It is estimated 1.5 million died in the camps.

October 14th, 2009 at 8:19 pmshame on mr. shadegg, for insulting the nation’s intelligence with his ridiculous nonsense and jibber-jabber.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:19 pm“…You can ask her about Soviet-style gulag health care in America, where powerful politicians protect their constituents.”
October 14th, 2009 at 8:20 pmI suppose he’s referring to Big Pharma and the Insurance Cartel.
is he trying to argue that some healthcare is worse than no healthcare?
October 14th, 2009 at 8:21 pmIs there a six-drink minimum in Congress now?

Aren’t politicians supposed to protect their constituents…?
He must mean his Big Insurance/Pharma masters, huh?
October 14th, 2009 at 8:24 pmnoseeum got there first. *sigh*
October 14th, 2009 at 8:25 pmDid they have health care in the gulags? I thought they just let people die? Wait a minute, isn’t this another case of Republican projection? Isn’t letting people die is what we have now?
October 14th, 2009 at 8:25 pmAll the dopey people. Where do their views come from?
October 14th, 2009 at 8:28 pmRep. John Shadegg and the rest of the Republican Party don’t seem to understand this rhetoric is beginning to wear thin.
I wish they would give us a break and try a different angle.
Maybe Election Day will be the only cure.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:31 pmThese guys are flailing Zooey, they don’t even realize what they’re saying before it spills out…
Shadegg:
“Gimme sumpin’ good for the floor today, will ya?”
Speechwriter:
“Hmm, let’s see… Nazis.. no, overkilled by now… socialists..naw, same… communists… too passe…
oh, oh, I’ve got it! Gulags! Soviets! Soviet gulags!
Shadegg:
October 14th, 2009 at 8:33 pm“Whut are them? Some kinda shoes? Huh?”
You know, my priest (Russian Orthodox) is a pretty conservative guy, but I’m pretty sure that comparing national healthcare to anything that Stalin ever did in Soviet Russia is a good way to make him apoplectic. With good reason, I might add. Funny how these teabaggers love to use the most inappropriate hyperboles to make their ridiculous talking points without having a CLUE as to the real horror behind their examples.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:34 pmrepugs don’t know enough about science, history or truth.

October 14th, 2009 at 8:43 pmI read all of The Gulag Archipelago when it was published in the US and to suggest that there was anything vaguely related to Health Care in the gulags is virtually the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:43 pmWho is this guy and why should we care about him?
October 14th, 2009 at 8:44 pmI’m confused, I can’t keep up with this stuff. Which is it…Health care reform is like Hitler’s Germany or its like Stalin’s Russia, which is it? All you twits need to get on the same page, so us sane people know what the hell your talking about.

October 14th, 2009 at 8:49 pmThere isn’t much to add to the previous comments addressing this guy’s utter ignorance. I would simply note that this district in Arizona only needs Kim Stassel as its representative since it seems that its congressman is going to base policy decisions on Stassel’s writings.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:51 pmSo I googled Kim Strassel.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:52 pmIn 2005 Arizona got a more than 2:1 return on their federal tax dollar. New York where I live got a small percentage of our tax dollar back. This guy is a liar from a perpetual welfare state.

***Yawn*** Calm down, kidlets.
It’s just more demagogue politics. Kinda like when Pelosi(D) called the tea bag wingnuts ‘nazis’, or when Rep. Grayson(D) said Repubs want people to die, or when Harry Reid(D) called town hall protesters ‘evil mongers’, and Rep. Baird(D) called them ‘brownshirts’, or when CNN’s Chris (leg tinkle) Matthews said radio blow hard Limbaugh should die…
You know, good clean political invective.
The simple fact is none of this over blown nonsense addresses the true issue: The gub’mint has NO business in the insurance business. (See Article 10 of the U.S. Constitution.) Period. End of sentence.
First of all, Chris Matthews is on MSNBC, not CNN. If you knew what you were talking about, you would know at least that much. Perhaps you only watch Fox News Channel. That would be pitiable.
Second, the insurance companies are the ones who have no business being in the health care delivery system. They contribute nothing to the health of patients, and with their primary motivation being profits, and not the health of their patients, they should have no voice in the debate at all.
We need Single Payer now, and the insurance companies’ despicable threat to increase premiums as a result of any health care reform passing is proof of that.

October 14th, 2009 at 9:10 pmI am not yet convinced, Shadegg, that private shareholders are any more concerned than the Gulagians
October 14th, 2009 at 9:13 pmPray tell not a gulag system. Not to be confused with our current system where insurance business committees decide if we will live or die or suffer for years. You could say the insurance companies put a premium on our suffering when they contribute to Rep Shadegg’s campaign fund. No scare tactics are too many when protecting a corrupt medical system, eh Shadegg?

But if you have any coherent, rational, fact-based arguments to support why the insurance companies should even be in the business of insuring health, I’d like to hear them.
I would like to hear all your justifications for even having a profit-driven health care system in this country.
Thank you.

October 14th, 2009 at 9:32 pmSo does that make health care workers the guards of the gulag? I remember when Dick Durbin was describing the treatment of detainees and how harsh it was. He was practically crucified for using the same rhetoric as this jerk and was forced to apologize on the Senate floor.
Will this pinhead apologize to the health care workers who take care of the ill and the infirmed? In fact, no one has ever apologized to the health care workers who care for the dying in hospices when they were called Nazi guards at concentration camps.
I’ll never forgive them for their demonization of health care workers. Never.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:35 pmokie dokie,
If he really meant for his screenname to be reflective of him, then he can’t control himself. Someone stole his handle.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:35 pmZooey@48, I step in for a minute and I read something like THAT! That tells me the trolls are becoming more and more unhinged. To insult women like this is, is nothing short of stupid. In the last week, we heard Pelosi had to be ‘Put in her Place’, Billo telling Bachman, Liberals are intimidated by her looks. The GOP won’t be satified until they alienate every minority, every woman, every gay individual on this planet.

October 14th, 2009 at 9:35 pmI read the Gulag Archipelago also and the comparison to health care is outrageous. The Republican party has transcended the bounds of good taste too many times. They are trying to trivialize historical events of epic proportions. These politicians have lost all sense of decency and the people who vote for them are no better.

I remember when I used to get drunk.
Do you really believe that patients are making decisions for themselves? Do you really want to preserve a system where a health insurance bureaucrat decides that they won’t pay for a procedure you need to save your life because they don’t think you’re worth it? It happens every day in this country. You really want to continue that?

October 14th, 2009 at 9:45 pmWe are going to need a gulag for Republican criminals and the trolls that support them.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:47 pmIf you don’t want what big bad health insurance is selling, then spend your own hard earned bucks to provide for your medical care. Don’t steal it from other tax payers!
So, you believe that we each have the right to tell Congress how to spend our tax money?
October 14th, 2009 at 9:48 pmI have made a decision for myself. I decided that I prefer a single payer option to the horsesh!t system that’s currently in place. Are you chastising me for exercising my right as an adult and as a citizen to cast my vote for this option?
And if you don’t think that those of us using the current insurance system aren’t paying for everyone else with our rising premiums, deductibles and out of pocket expenses, I don’t think you’ve been paying attention to what the big kids call ‘the real world’.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:48 pmI liked “all the dopey people” lyrics, Wayne A Schneider.
I was thinking of writing some for Coburn and Inhofe, to the tune of “on broadway”. . . .
“On C-Street”.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:49 pmI should clarify that last question.
Do you believe that Congress must listen to us about how to spend our tax money?
October 14th, 2009 at 9:49 pmThanks, okie dokie.
You mean like,
“They say the Christians rule the right on C-Street”?
Or maybe they “rule the night”? Let us know how it comes out. I look forward to seeing it.

The gub’mint has NO business in the insurance business. (See Article 10 of the U.S. Constitution.) Period. End of sentence.
As for “why exactly insurance companies are allowed anywhere near the healthcare business”… jeez, another snoozing gub’mint school kidlet. Try to keep up; it’s called ‘free enterprise’. The insurance companies offer a product for sale that consumers freely purchase (or not). It’s what adults do: they make decisions for themselves.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Sorry……..You’re more an ignorant , stupid jackass (unlike most Dems).
You believe the insurance companies allow you to “make a decision for yourself” , chucklehead ?
Like when they arbitrarily refuse to cover people for medical care they desperately require , even though the particular individual in question has always paid (and on time) , and for no reason other than greed ?
Wow , you really are a gullible rube ; no wonder you support the horseshit GOP.
You’re pathetic………

October 14th, 2009 at 10:06 pmIt’s actually kind of fun watching the GOoPers progressing from “the big lie” to the utterly fantastic mega-lie.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:07 pmUnfortunately name calling is a substitute for logical argument for many, if not all, in the right wing.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:07 pmAlso, the Constitution gives the people of this country the right to direct our government and most of us want health care reform so, the 10th amendment argument is bogus.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:10 pm10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The moronic tenther failed to read the whole amendment — like they all do.
Shocker!
October 14th, 2009 at 10:13 pmMcMetal, the Tenthers only care about the amendments.

October 14th, 2009 at 10:36 pmI don’t think this “George W. Bush” is the George W. Bush. I’m pretty sure the real GWB is a dirty limerick guy.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:36 pmWhat was the answer, George?
October 14th, 2009 at 10:37 pmWhen I was a little girl I was taught that if I studied hard I could become a leader, perhaps even someone who could represent my fellow americans in Washington. Mr Shadegg has now completed my disillusionment. One can know nothing of history, political science, economics, or social science and still wind up in congress. It’s not even a requirement that one must speak coherently.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:39 pmFor the tenther troll that is unsure what the 10 refers to, it’s not an amendment or article of our constitution. It’s a percentage. You are in the bottom 10% of our society, along with this Shadegg guy.
Zooey, do you think he made up the limericks himself? Or did he have one of his writers do them?

October 14th, 2009 at 10:46 pmThree out of four Doctors recommend the Public Option.
(Remember all the commercials that started “Three out of four doctors recommend…” or “Four our of five Dentists recommend…”? Well, three out of four Doctors DO recommend the Public Option, so why haven’t some of these 75 percent of doctors run a commercial stating their support for the Public Option? We trust Doctors when they make a medical diagnosis and prescribe, often-lifesaving, treatment and medication, so why are 75 percent of U.S. Doctors suddenly NOT trusted when they diagnose that our current healthcare system is ill, injured, needs repairing, needs reform? Why?)
And apparently this Rep. Shadegg, a right-wing Republican nutjob extremis, thinks that three out of four Doctors in America are Communist for their support of at least a Public Option…which would help get the health insurance claims adjusters off their backs so they could do their jobs better, more humanely, more efficiently.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:47 pmI could use a little help modifying one of Thomas Pynchon’s limericks to fit Senator Vitter.
There was a senator named Vitter,
Who had sex while wearing a sh***er,
It shriveled his cock
Which fell off in his sock,
And made him exceedingly bitter.
I’m just not happy with the second line…any suggestions?
October 14th, 2009 at 10:53 pmWith a name like Shadegg, I demand to see his birth certificate. I don’t believe he is an American.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:53 pmGoodnight, Wayne. I’m outta here, too.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:53 pmI’m outta here too, Paramore’s on vh1.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:55 pmPeace = insurance companies pulling the plug
Pain = The government heeding the call of their constituents’ horror stories and doing something about it.
We use myth as a form of projection to cover the reality.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:03 pmAnother day another Repignican lie. Next?
October 14th, 2009 at 11:20 pmSo I vented a bit and emailed the idiot congressman…
And got this back in reply:
” If you are requesting assistance with a government agency, information about Washington tours, instructions on purchasing a U.S. flag, or any other matter that requires personal attention, please contact my office in Phoenix at (602) 263-5300 to speak to a member of my staff.”
Does he own a flag company?
October 14th, 2009 at 11:38 pmI haven’t read most of the comments but I wonder if anyone has noticed that the thresh hold for fear on the right is really low. I have never lived in a soviet police state but I am pretty sure part of their health plan was to hang political dissidents from the town square for criticizing the state health plan. While I have some big concerns with policies in the U.S. it’s never crossed my mind to say what!! “DUI stops on spring break in Texas”?? What’s next execution of intellectuals and the forced resettlement out of the cities? I am concerned that many of my fellow citizens on the right where raised like the bubble boy and have a very low constitution so as to want to kill anything that may be scary or unfamiliar.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:47 pmDoes any Republican have anything constructive to add to the Health Care discussion? So far nothing.
October 15th, 2009 at 12:00 amNews Fox says:
Shadegg is a great American hater like myself.

October 15th, 2009 at 12:00 amShadegg lives like a czar with his Government run health care free for life.

October 15th, 2009 at 12:08 amJust exactly what kind of a lame ass constituency is this guy playing to? Even AZ only has so many paranoid sociopaths on the voter rolls.
October 15th, 2009 at 12:13 amPerhaps an enema and a long session of silent prayer would help Shaddeg with his problem.
October 15th, 2009 at 12:26 amjb, he’s from AZ. is constituents are all retired and using socialized medicine…
October 15th, 2009 at 12:27 amIs Shadegg bucking to be the male Bachmann?
October 15th, 2009 at 12:28 amThat’s right, Bobwurst, he aims to keep government out of Medicare. Looks like Olympia Snow is the closest thing to a reasonable Republican.
October 15th, 2009 at 12:30 amMore Russians had health care coverage when the Soviets were in power than have it now.

For an anchor baby, it is her suggestion that anchor babies should be refused citizenship.

October 15th, 2009 at 12:48 amSeems like the ONLY argument the republicans have left to compare us to either stalin of hitler. BUT they never address how they compare, turns out its not even close. But they love to shout commie, socialist, fascist, nazi, and never even try to show how they got to that conclusion. I’ll give them credit though, at least they can make a good living killing america.

October 15th, 2009 at 1:10 amThree out of four Doctors recommend the Public Option.
Remember all the commercials that started “Three out of four doctors recommend…” or “Four our of five Dentists recommend…”? Well, three out of four Doctors DO recommend the Public Option, so why haven’t some of these 75 percent of doctors run a commercial stating their support for the Public Option?
We trust Doctors when they make a medical diagnosis and prescribe, often-lifesaving, treatment and medication, so why are 75 percent of U.S. Doctors suddenly NOT trusted when they diagnose that our current healthcare system is ill, injured, needs repairing, needs reform? Why?
Think of the current U.S. healthcare system as a body, a body with a diseased heart -caused by health insurance and pharmaceutical company greed- and with both legs cutoff below the knees -representing the missing uninsured/underinsured/preexisting condition citizens.
And three out of four American Doctors are prescribing a Public Option heart transplant, replacing the diseased for-profit heart with a Public Option heart that will at least give American citizens a choice and give some legs to our healthcare system.

October 15th, 2009 at 1:45 am@ 3. conservative guy says: Shadegg is a great American. October 14th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Prove that, conguy. Prove that Shadegg is something other than a fracking fearmongering idiot. It’s obvious that he has no idea what he’s talking about; gulag is probably just a word to him. He’s probably never read one word from Solzhenitsyn, but his PR flack told him that “Soviet gulag medical care” would go over well with the base.
The worst cronyism in American health care insurance, per Shadegg’s comment about, “…Soviet-style gulag health care in America, where powerful politicians protect their constituents…” is that portion of the system where powerful politicians protect the insurance company constituents who’ve bought them.
“Health care” in the gulag, at it’s worst, or even at average, makes conservative nightmares about the UK’s National Health Service look like a sweet dream of the proverbial gleaming city upon a hill. Health care in the gulag ranged from zip to whatever a zek with medical training could provide with no medications, no hygenic facilities for instruments – which would have amounted to crap like spoons sharpened on a rock, and so on, up to ordinary Soviet clinical care; it was largely dependent on just where the prisoner, the zek, was, and it was arbitrary.
But if you, conguy, and your friends are paranoid enough to think that’s where our health care system is going, fine; think that. Unfortunately, nobody is talking about doing anything to the health care system; this whole fracking argument is about how fees are going to be collected and paid and whether there will be a publicly available insurance system in parallel to the anti-competitive “private” insurance non-market.
Why don’t you take your pimping for insurance company pimps somewhere else, conguy?

October 15th, 2009 at 1:53 amDon’t worry meat bag I voted all your posts up. I’m your biggest fan, because you make life so easy. You really contribute to the conversation by pointing out that talking about the article is so stupid. Its a lot more productive to insult every person regardless of what they say. I mean, If they’re here, they are automatically stupid and NEED to be voted down by smarter people like you. And I love how you keep your cool no matter what people say. You never let those peons distract you from letting them know how they’re not you. Your questions are so insightful and delightfully witty. Reading your posts just gives the world a bit more joy all around.

Got proof?
October 15th, 2009 at 2:09 amNot much wrong with a single payer plan in the first place. In the second place, Obama has very openly expressed what he wants from the healthcare bill. In the third place he doesn’t write the bills or pass the laws (unlike chimpy). He lets congress do their job. If you don’t like the health bill talk to your congress person, but don’t slam Obama unless you really have some dirt.
October 15th, 2009 at 2:11 amI’m all for keeping the government in check and being vocal about their failures. But its an Extreme disservice to america to just make stuff up. seriously find a real problem and you’ll find most people want to fix it, the reason republicans are having such a hard time getting traction is that they live in a made-up world.
