Man has my indifference about the potential passage of health insurance reform changed. Rush Limbaugh has threatened to leave the country if health insurance reform passes. Now, I want that weak attempt at reform (and weak attempt at cost controls) passed more than ever. And Limbaugh, don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.
Oh, and please take your beloved private health insurance companies with you. Maybe then we could become more like an advanced nation with a single payer system (we can keep some insurance companies around, because the rich will require it of course).

Sorry to disappoint you, but he just said he was going to leave the country for healthcare -- just like the Newfoundland PM recently came to the US for healthcare.
If that's all it takes, we should have passed it looooong ago.
@TC: Doesn't Costa Rica have socialized health care, and isn't socialized health care in all instances evil? And, just a reminder, no sane person would dispute the quality of care available in the U.S. The issue is affordability. I doubt that the gentleman from Newfoundland is broke; therefore, I am confident that he paid for his care outright. As you know, in this country, your ability to pay, especially out of pocket, certainly affects one's access to care.
