Don’t Bet Against a Winner
Some of you may (or probably not) heard of Frankie Muniz who used to be on a show called Malcolm in the Middle.
His options have been oh, shall we say lacking, since that show ended so his latest career move is ObamaBashing.
He tweeted this:
The 27 year old really, really hates Obamacare.
Then, all of a sudden, Muniz develops health problems. He’s had two mini-strokes. He’s a mess.
Now, I want you to find me a health insurance company who will insure a 28 year old who has had two mini-strokes. Raise your hand if you know one. Hummm …. no hands raised. I guess we have an answer.
I ask the kid to tweet a mea culpa but I doubt he knows album moths from shinola. (And there goes 2/3rds of the Latin I learned in high school wasted on Frankie Muniz.)
Thanks to Mark for the heads up.
I’ve seen FM in a variety of roles, and he’s good at that artform.
This does not a pundit make.
1Dear Frankie, there was a story about a hunter who was taking a leak when a rattlesnake unfortunately took a nip of his Johnsonville sausage. The hunter’s partner ran all the way to the country doctors place for advice. The doctor said make a small incision in the bitten area and suck the poison out. The hunter’s partner ran back to his friend and told him he was gonna die. I don’t wish you or any wingnut harm. Hell,I don’t know you,but there is a moral in this tale for you and your brethren and you better figure it out before it is too late. Best regards,son. e platypus onion. 🙂
2Medicare would cover him after he applied for SSI disability, got it and was on it for 1 year.
But I guess with all that embarrassment he has has had inflicted on him by the ACA, I hope he does not go into bankruptcy paying all those medical bills.
3Guess Frankie isn’t as smart as Malcolm.
4Nothing matters to a Republicanite until it affects them personally. Then you can’t shut them up. But not to worry, Dipstick in the Middle, Obamacare has got your back. Karma can really be a bitch, huh?
5Right on point, publius. They seem to be missing the empathy gene.
6Gotta wonder what those strokes have done to his mental faculties. My grandfather had those “little” strokes and they finally killed him after rendering him a vegetable. As for Frankie and His Bills (now there’s a great name for a rap group!), he earned quite enough on the teevee to take care of himself. Had a cousin who was a musician and was covered by the Musicians Union for healthcare. Ten to one if Frankie ever joined Actors Equity he ended up with some kind of coverage for himself. Not like so many of us who just don’t stand a snowball’s chance when we get sick.
7Having “mini-strokes” for a twenty-something can be a sign of chronic extreme cocaine usage. Jes sayin’.
