Oklahoma insurance commissioner gives life to the phrase, “Stupid is as stupid does”

Thought you had seen it all? Think again.

Oklahoma’s insurance commissioner, Kim Holland, wants to penalize those who don’t have health insurance with such tactics as forcing them to forfeit their University of Oklahoma football season tickets and taking away their fishing licenses.

An article in a recent issue of The Daily Oklahoman also quoted a state representative who echoed Holland’s call for what he calls “punishment” of those who don’t carry insurance.

Perhaps the best part of the article is reading the comments from citizens, which appear at the bottom of the page after the article.

I don’t know either of these people, but as the phrase goes, there is some doctor somewhere — and this case, public servant — who graduated last in their class. In this case, it appears they were drawn to Oklahoma.

    I thought Oklahoma was a solid Republican state – isn’t this the same theory Obama touted?
