A Question for George and Dick?

We were told that Dick Cheney had his pacemaker battery changed a coujple of days ago. A week previously, George Bush had a colonoscopy and polyps removed.

Now both of these procedures are fairly common but they are expensive. They require a sterile environment, expensive equipment and specialists.
There have been plenty of jokes about both men (Did they actually find a heart in Cheney’s chest? Did they find George’s head?) My question about their procedures is not a joke. I want to know who paid.

So George and Dick, did you have these procedures done under the health insurance plan for Federal employees? It’s one of the best plans in the United States and since it’s paid for by the government and covers just about everything one would want in a health care plan with no worries about pre-existing conditions and co-pays, I classify it as socialized medicine as most people would.

Since both the President and Vice-President can easily pay their own bills for these procedures, did they do so or did they take advantage of the socialized medicine plan extended to Federal employees? If they did, they are hypocrites who are taking advantage of a socialized health insurance plan while preaching the virtues of privatized insurance to the rest of us.

I’m willing to bet a twenty that both George and Dick took advantage of the taxpayers. Any takers? Come up with proof that these two rich fellows paid their own medical bills and I’ll send you a twenty dollar bill.
