(Newser) – Rush Limbaugh vowed to leave the US if Obama's health care reforms come into effect. Limbaugh told a caller to his radio show today that if "this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented—I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica." Raw Story notes that he's not the first to threaten to move (see: Sean Penn, Alec Baldwin) but few celebrities have made good on their vows—though director Robert Altman did move to France after George Bush's 2000 win.
