‘She wore her dead sister’s teeth.”

This wins the sappy lib sob story of the day, hands down.
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) claims a constituent wore her dead sister’s teeth. Obamacare will change all of that.
Via the B-Cast:
“You will not believe this and I know you won’t, but it’s true. Her sister died. This poor woman had no dentures. She wore her dead sister’s teeth, which of course were uncomfortable and did not fit.”
Will Obamacare buy me glasses and contacts? Will Obamacare buy me a gold tooth in the front of my mouth with a little heart on it?

My worst nightmare – someone else’s teeth in my mouth!
You can buy reasonable dentures for about $500 and you can make payments.
Why don’t people think about paying for some things themselves?

Say what you will about Glen Beck, props for that line in his CPAC speech –
“I’m not going to say, like every politician…. I just want hang myself every time I hear a politician, ‘Oh, I got a letter from a little girl the other day….’ Shut up!!“

Dental is covered by the democrats plan?
enoxo commented:
Except, of course, the Obamacare billastrophe has NOTHING to do with Dental.
So the lady will go wearing her sister’s teeth, if she exists.

I wonder what would keep Slaughter from buying the lady a new set? Or, how about some of her compassionate liberal constituency.
Andrew X commented:
FYI, at 1:35pm today….
Rush Limbaugh acknowleged being wrong… in saying Repubs should have boycotted. He now sees it as a losing day for the ObamaCare and the Dems.
So noted.

Sounds like the tooth borrower needs more work inside of her head than in her mouth.
Next story: Babies swapping dirty diapers for less dirty diapers…
Libs have no shame.

Where is Slaughter from? There appears to be some inbreeding in her blood.
Cynic commented:
Those who think this proposed health plan will pay for your dentures have lost all ability to reason and think, and bho is very pleased with you.
Nick commented:
Great Scott! Those are some damn good teeth! They have lasted two life times! Diamond Cutters!
Nick commented:
Family heirloom! This is priceless!

I’ve seen two videos of his arrogance and egotism on display, already. He thinks his every utterance is a holy dispensation.
Ladue Pundit commented:
Isn’t this what “going green” is all about?
Dentures can be re-lined, and sterilized. The Democrat Party recycles lies and dead voters, why not dentures?
mike191 commented:
Toxic Slaughter is from Western ,New York.She has gerrymandered the core area of Buffalo City proper to Rochester, NY. This makes it almost impossible to un-seat her and/ or find a good dentist.
Andy commented:
Rush said “I thought the Dems believed in recycling. What’s the problem?”
joe buzz commented:
How many $Trillions$ does it take not to have to wear your dead siblings fake teeth?
Militant Conservative commented:
Does that make the Dem’s the tooth fairies or is that just Barney Fwank. LOL
Aitch748 commented:
Yes, I’m sure that having the government throw you in prison for not buying government-issued health insurance will save you from the horror of having to wear your dead sister’s dentures in your mouth.

The Dems were having a summit, and a Tea Party broke out.

“Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) claims a constituent wore her dead sister’s teeth.”
Oh gosh, I didn’t realize that dems had such intelligent and lucid arguments. Of course, we should spend $1 trillion. It all makes sense now.
kate commented:
Mr. Bell wore his dentures reversed, the top on the bottom, the bottom on the top because they felt better that way. What kind of tears does Chris Dodd have for this horrible miscarriage of justice?
Maybe her sister’s teeth fit her fine. Does the government have to take up residence in our mouths, too?
Hedgehog commented:
She must have been gumming it before her poor sister died. Or maybe she pulled her own teeth out to make room for those new choppers.

Anyone who listens to even 10 minutes of this becomes aware, even he if can’t bring himself to acknowledge it, that Obama is the least qualified person ever to be elected president. He is intellectually unprepared to discuss almost any issue. He constantly falls back on platitudes. He’s more like a bad actor playing the role of president for a TV show.
We should have elected Danny Glover. We would have gotten a black left-wing black dummy, but gotten better acting.

Darwin Akbar commented:
Perhaps that constituent has read “Red Dragon” and is named “Mrs. Dollarhyde.”
(obscure literary/voice reference).
As far as I know, the only thing Obamacare will do for dental care is to add a tax on dentures and any other medical device and appendage, thereby making them even less affordable. This Congressperson is nuts.
PS: If she thinks socialized medicine in the UK is bad, socialized dentisty in the UK is even worse – it’s a two year wait for an appointment to see an NHS dentist.
myna commented:
I bet she has a car, TV with cable, cell phone and buy lotteries every week.
Major Kong commented:
Using dead people’s dentures is bad, while using dead people’s hearts, lungs, kidneys. livers, skin, bones, ligaments, corneas, etc, etc is good. I guess I’m missing something here.

Under Obamacare, she would be using her dead’s sister’s Colostomy Bag.
Roger commented:
She’s absolutely right……..I don’t believe her.
sandy commented:
No Barry — the election is only a few months away and the Republicans will clean your clock.
sandy commented:
First of all. is dentistry even covered under Obamacare? And if it is I would rather wear family teeth than the wooden ones the Govt. would provide.
sandy commented:
The Republicans have been hitting it out of the park today. They came prepared to hunt bear and the Dems look so pathetic. This summit is a bad move for the bamster — because people are actually learning about what’s in the bill and they don’t want any part of it.
So Dems tell your heart tugging stories about the constituants you don’t give a damn about –Obamacare is DOA.
sandy commented:
It ain’t Reconciliation — its a Nuclear Option only this one is a dud.
TJ commented:
SO dental care is clearly not a priority with this woman… so that means I have to pay?
In Obama’s perfect world.. two Federal government union employees would come to the woman’s house twice a day and brush her teeth for her…comforting
An the taxpayers would have to pay for it… please remember the majority of folks who voted for Ovomit didn’t pay Federal taxes… so all this stuff is FREEEEEEEE!!!!

Corporal vere commented:
We do not need teeth!
We need jobs!!!
We need the government to stop spending $$Trillions it doesn’t have and will have to tax us for next year.
We need private sector jobs. Jobs will not be created until the government stops screwing with our economy.
seven commented:
Poor Barney Fwank. Did he forget where he left his set?
At what age will people be denied new dental services?
averagemelon commented:
My God, I love the comments on this blog. I am almost peeing with laughter at work!

Why don’t they just outlaw group discounts for insurance?
After all, isn’t insurance itself a group discount?
Buffalobob commented:
Did the lady steal her dead sisters dentures before or after the wake?
Toothfairy commented:
Heck, after she’s done wearing ‘em maybe her family can offer them up on e-bay~~used dentures, but barely and in fine condition starting bid $10.00 seller: nydslaughtertheol’usa
hermie commented:
How will Obamacare prevent people from wearing dead relatives’ teeth?
It’s not like the hospital took the teeth as collateral to make sure the bill was paid.
This was a silly effort to inject pure emotionalism, and the ‘Won’ looks even sillier by permiting her to blab on about this.
Robert commented:
The Dems would have us think that the federal government should follow every citizen around and wipe their runny noses for them.
Major Kong commented:
I’ll bet Slaughter never thought her comments would come back to bite her in the ass.
S. Wolf commented:
I hope the twit doesn’t give the left the idea to dig up graves to “harvest” dentures. Just brush off the maggots and use some orajel, good as new..
alaskan commented:
Always can count of something like this from the Liberals…..file it away in the ‘Can’t verify Department’.
At least this time she issued a ‘Hold Harmless’ and told us ‘we wouldn’t believe her’. I am willing to give her benefit of the doubt and research it……..who is the woman, name, address, income, how did you hear about the story, how long has the woman been recieving welfare?
shibumi commented:
I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to wear someone else’s dentures, since they are fitted EXACTLY for your teeth.
Someone should tell the Dems that if you’re going to start making sh*t up, it should at least be believable.
Elly commented:
1) What makes them think Nobamacare would even cover dental procedures/dentures?
Like most things related to “demarguments” I think there’s got to be more to the story.
I personally follow after Hedgehog #22′s thinking when they wondered if this lady was missing her teeth prior to her sister dying or if she had them pulled after.. Makes ya wonder actually.
It’s not that I (and I’m sure even we) don’t care about someone having affordable, proper fitting dentures – it’s that we’re not interested in paying 1 trillion dollars for them to STILL not have them.
If there is a widespread issue with people (the elderly or whomever) not having access to dental care, then determine what that need is and find creative ways to help bridge the gap; propose viable solutions that can be thoughtfully considered and voted on if necessary. But don’t parade an annonymous elderly lady w/ unfortunate circumstances that haven’t even been fully explained in order to push an agenda of outrageously expensive “nothingness”…

Yep, I heard the sob story. Oh, brother…

LOL. I want proof this is true.

yeah louise right and i bet you were there at christmas time when this woman sang her stirring rendition of; all i want for christmas is my sisters few front teeth few front teeth……….

And? So? When my grandpa died, my grandma wore his hearing aids. If the shoe fits, wear it.

You heard it from the Horses Mouth!
Evil Otto commented:
You want the tooth? YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TOOTH!
Solaratov commented:
I don’t know about other states, but in Missouri, if someone has “Missouri Medicaid” and can find a dentist who takes medicaid/medicare, MM pays for the dentures.
The same goes for eyeglasses. I’d almost bet that other states have the same sort of program.
Now, I’m not casting aspersions, but I’m having a certain amount of *difficulty* believing the story.
Greta commented:
Congresswoman chompers is a typical democrat. She believes in chewing up more money than even her party can raise in taxes. I would bet she has never voted for a tax cut, never voted against a tax increase, and never passed up a chance to spend more of our money.
I think the republicans should all where the pictures of the dentures attached to this post. It is the new symbol of the demochomper party.
EricTheRed commented:
For anyone who thinks that *government-run* health care will take better care of your teeth than what we have now – and that obviously includes Ms. Slaughter, I’ve got 2 words for you:

I See Corpsemen commented:
Maybe Louise can buy them from her constituent to give to her colleague Rep. John Dingle (D-Michigan). It’s obvious that he’s not using his dental insurance.
AuntieMadder commented:
I must be a heartless beeyotch because even if it’s true, it doesn’t seem that bad to me. They are sisters, after all, so their mouths could very well have the same shape. It’s not like they’d been in the mouth of a stranger, so after sterilizing them, they’d be as clean as new. And it’s not like her sister’s gonna’ be needin’
‘em now. Surviving sister was a lot worse off when she had no teeth at all.
myna commented:
Maybe we should recycle all dentures and send it to Rep. Slaughter to be distribute to her toothless supporters who cannot afford dentures. Compassionate healthcare drive. No need to spend trillion of dollars.
Anneke9 commented:
But wait… the Libs keep harping at me to recycle. This doesn’t count?
Good Captain commented:
No need to send A9, she already uses her Mom’s dentures.

American Dental Association’s Greed Creates Need for Borrowed Dentures
The fact that it is a denture doesn’t lessen the severity of being without a functional prosthesis. The idea that a woman had to wear her “dead sister’s teeth”, was the story told by New York Rep. Louise Slaughter at President Obama’s health care summit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= zkJByadebXY& feature= player_ embedded# and is just one story of many that involves the critical state of our health and dental care system in our nation. People shouldn’t have to do without a functional prosthesis, whether it being an arm, leg, or denture.
We’ve been dealing with healthcare being controlled by the American Medical Association, American Dental Association, Big Pharma Corporations and the Insurance companies leaving us with little or no money to meet our day to day expenses. I know lots of people that went to their grave sick and broke, paying for healthcare expenses. Just visit one of your neighborhood convalescent centers and take a look at our people and where our current healthcare system is getting us. Look at the healthcare, dental care and financial situation that the residents and their families are in. Some don’t have dentures or a sister to borrow from. It’s no joke and a serious situation. Health and dental care is unaffordable for most American families leaving people with no choice but to do without.
If corporate ADA would quit squeezing out competition it would free up more chairtime for children, restorative, cosmetic, and emergency dental procedures but instead, corporate ADA’s self-serving political agenda is hurting consumers by suppressing qualified competitors that provide oral health care services, especially those with disparities. The American Dental Association works against its own vision and mission statement by suppressing competition that has been trained and educated in providing oral health care services to those that are unable to pay the high prices charged by dentist leaving Americans without needed dental care. Midlevel oral healthcare providers include denturists, dental health aide therapists, and independent practice for dental hygienists.
The American Dental Association uses money to fight Dental Hygienists from having independent practices, the ADA fights and prevents Denturists from having independent practices and funnels money to state dental associations to prosecute Denturists so they can’t provide affordable denture care to people. The ADA, waste money fighting Alaska, to prevent Dental Health Aide Therapists from providing dental services to Natives of Alaska living in remote areas.
Healthcare reform can not be about greed. A good number of Americans can’t afford to pay for dental work. Most aren’t on Medicaid and they have no dental insurance. The American Dental Association needs to reduce your prices, guarantee your work, and be more competitive.
