The Lowden Plan Medical-Chicken Calculator
Thanks to TPM for the link


http://lowdenplan.com/

Doctors are reasonable people”
Senate hopeful Sue Lowden’s plan for Healthcare reform is to barter chickens for medical procedures. But you may be unsure how many chickens are required for your medical care. This handy calculator converts many common procedures into chickens so you won’t look like an idiot at your next Doctor’s Appointment.

3. Beautiful Stuff, Doctor
Though forty-five hundred chickens for a bypass surgery seemed like a real bargain!

9. To be fair, she did also say to use cash
Which makes sense because, you know, I usually have a few grand with me at all times in case I have to "barter" with a physician.

Dumb bitch!

11. Damn, you need 514 chickens for a colonoscopy! I don't think I can
fit 18 chickens in my car for that mammogram I need.

What will I do? I'm flummoxed.

12. No Chickens.
The Year of the Chicken
David Kurtz | April 23, 2010, 3:21PM

From TPM Reader LM:

I just went to my doctor's office for a sinus/ear infection. I had never seen this particular physician before and certainly didn't bring up politics with him, but as I was about to pay my bill, he volunteered, "We take cash, check, credit or debit card. No chickens." I'm in Indiana, mind you. I think Sue Lowden is in real trouble if even random doctors in Indiana are mocking her to near-total strangers.

14. Love It, Doc!
Why aren't you posting in WEE? It even ties into the auto topic--how many chickens can you fit in an SUV?
