Healthcare supporter bites off opponent’s pinky

Not only were the people shocked, this has gotten way out of hand and totally ironic when you think the man that was against public healthcare, used it to get his finger put back on.

According to reports, the man then picked up his finger and promptly walked to a nearby hospital for treatment. Neither individual was identified.

The altercation took place outside at a rally sponsored by MoveOn.org.

The news comes just a day after a man was reportedly punched in the face and knocked to the ground by a supporter of the public health insurance option in Miami.

An Associated Press report published Thursday afternoon indicates that the protester had successful surgery on his finger, and was covered by a government health plan.

“A hospital spokeswoman says the man lost half the finger, but doctors reattached it and he was sent home the same night,” the AP reports. “She says he had Medicare.”
