Healthcare's Untimely Demise

Okay, so you're on board with Obarrassing's healthcare plans. Good for you, that's cute. But here's the question you need to ask your elected representatives before it's too late: "Sir or Madam, at what point in the healthcare process will the nice person behind the desk ask me for my political party affiliation?"

Because, you see, unless they give you liberal democrats a different plan than the rest of us will be getting, your healthcare is going to be just as limited and inadequate as that of the Republicans and Independents.

So, if you want any elective surgery, get it done now. If Obarrassing gets his way, only the super-rich and the bureaucrats running the show will be able to get those nose jobs behind the scenes. Something tells me that Congressman Forkbend, from Doorknob, Mississippi will still be able to get the breast augmentation for his "niece," but don't you bother even trying to get that tummy tuck, Poopsie, that's just not in the budget. And if you're 78 years old, and you'd like to get that knee replaced, do it before "they" decide that the return won't be worthwhile. Sure, you might think it's worth it, but "they" may not. Sorry, no knee, hit the road, gramps.

There have been times when I didn't have health insurance, and times when I had to make payments for medical expenses. And yet, I've never gone without care if it was needed, nor have any of my children. There are a ton of people out there right now who "can't afford health insurance," and yet they're driving around brand new SUVs and watching flat screen televisions. And yet, we're told every 2.6 seconds by someone in Washington that the system is "broken."

"Broken" in Obarrassing's world simply means that it's working without him, and that's completely unacceptable.
