I think he is a bully and a pile of shit myself. All I am saying is that at least in the west, we should not get to the point of behaving like fascist dictatorships or oppressive theocracies.
If you are familiar with the show MASH, the doctors often treated the enemy when they were captured and wounded. I am not asking anyone to like Rush, he is a pile of shit. But he is also in medical decline and all I am saying is that any doctor that takes their oath seriously, won't choose their patients.
Nobody is asking you to like him. I simply warn humanity in general, not to get to the point of when expressing disgust leads to a gang mentality.
I am not going to lose a lick of sleep when Rush is gone. But as long as he is alive, I do expect his doctors to do their job. It is what I would want if my doctors didn't like me being an atheist.
Why would you think Limbaugh wouldn’t receive proper care from his doctors?

Look at the climate around us now. Lots of right wing politicians are selling the idea that it IS ok for a doctor to discriminate on care based on religious conviction.
Lots of counties in America, including the one I live in, now have "In God We Trust" on first responders vehicles, ambulances and police cars. All one has to do to know what a bad idea that is is to look at the middle east, where Muslim states and Palestine have the Islamic Crescent Moon and Star on their first responders vehicles and Israel has the Jewish Star of David on theirs.
If you want to argue there are still doctors that will remain neutral in giving care, I would agree. But I would not falsely assume that theocratic thinking cannot invade hospital staff too.
All I have said, is no matter how much I hate him, when it comes to medical care, as long as he, or anyone, is still alive, regardless of personal like of any patent, doctors should not get to choose their patents.
