The worms crawl in…
A Florida nursing home has been fined $16,000 by state regulators after a patient was found injured on the floor with maggots crawling out of his leg cast.
Please remember this story the next time some Tea Bagger or other brand of Wingnut tells you that rules and regulations are strangling free enterprise.

Be nice to your kids, scissorheads. They get to pick your nursing home…
Oh, come on now! We should each have the best medical care we can afford. Financial survival of the fittest rules!
Now, tell those Republicans enjoying government managed and paid for health care to pay for their own health care out of pocket and see how loudly they scream.
$16,000!!! They should be denuded of every fucking penny and closed down. Oh, and jail the owners/administrators.
Gack! Here’s another example for you, though I wasn’t as calm about my reaction… Another WIN For the Free Market.
No, no, no. Regulations aren’t needed. Businesses will self-regulate. Alan Greenspan says (said) so. Surprise No. 1: the State of Florida found this fiasco. Surprise No. 2: There was a fine levied.
