Republican Health Care Plan: "Bring a chicken to the doctor"

There are a lot of services (0.00 / 0)

that can be offered to a doctor, or dentist, or car mechanic, many of them illegal, unethical, or immoral, but not exactly unknown already.

Bargaining with barter belong in the middle ages, the feudal times so many Republicans seem to hanker after. You know, the baron in the castle on the hill overlooking his domain, and his peasants in their huts down below exchanging home brewed beers for, yes, chickens, before going out to labor in the glebe fields or the baron's hunting forests. Way to go, corporate feudalists.

And they are supposed to paint the docs house?

There's nothing in the middle of the road except yellow stripes and dead armadillos (Jim Hightower). PS I'm on Twitter here.

It seems to me that trading live chickens could have some problems; (0.00 / 0)

I wonder if fertilized eggs could be an acceptable substitute for live chickens?
