Excellent job mocking the overpaid celebrities mocking the overpaid insurance executives:
Here's the original:
Here's the response from celebrities when you point out they have the power to help the uninsured on their own (you know, with the millions of dollars they're overpaid).

this is the common excuse that conservatives toss about to absolve themselves of responsibility to society: "see, these rich hollywood types could solve the worlds problems if they wanted to. but no, they are hypocrites of the highest order by criticizing the rich while rolling in their own cash. if he won't give everything, i don't have to give a cent."
is that compassionate, mature, and christ-like of you? because he doesn't you sure don't have to! greedy. egotistical. selfish.
this is why i favor mandates and tax increases to pay for health reform. i will help regardless, but i know that there are selfish people who will use this very excuse of "he who is rich didn't lead the way and give all of his belongings away first, so why should i do anything?" worthless, pathetic examples of christ's love and compassion. and it's a stupid defense for doing nothing.
michael wilson (the author of the article michele linked to), whose entire argument lacks logic, is no better than the man he criticizes, neither are the non-celebrities in the "psa", and neither is michele, because they all expect someone else to lead the way and solve the world's problems for them. another sign that conservatism never was about hard work, personal responsibility, leadership, or compassion. it's always been about greed, ego, and self.
This is fantastic. These overpaid celebs, driving around in their limos, living in their multi-million dollar homes, and on and on...calling out insurance executives? Funny and sad at the same time. These people mocking them is very funny and very good.
I like that part where the kid next door should pay from his piggy bank for his neighbor kid's broken leg. That sums up what these socialists wealth distributors are trying to do.
Hey you libs, next time I have a medical need, will you send me money? Why wait for the government to force you to. Just do it on your own.
"Hey you libs, next time I have a medical need, will you send me money? Why wait for the government to force you to. Just do it on your own."
you seem capable enough. just not responsible for your own needs? yet another hypocritical neocon looking for a handout.
exactly what i was saying, that conservatives will scapegoat the rich as a reason to shirk their own responsibilities. predictable!
i know, pouty - you can just go to the emergency room and not pay and let everyone else eat the cost. isn't that the way the capitalist system works now?
tell you what, grandpappy pouty, when you prove to me that you're unable to pay, and that you have a critical need, i'll pitch in. but only because i love you, man. in fact, i'd even bet that my 3rd grader would willing to give up her own piggy bank to help you out, because she understands that compassion trumps greed.
I just watched the Will Ferrell PSA for the first time. It is cool. It was nice to see "13" - too bad they couldn't get "Dr. House" as one of the talking heads. I'm not sure whether I favor the public option, but I definitely favor reform, and I am delighted that Ferrell did this PSA.
