Get your healthcare while it lasts

Peloser’s healthcare bill weighs in at about 20 pounds and is 1,990 pages. Really? Does any more need to be said? Four reams of paper sans the amendments and countless reference to other US code to say what? Healthcare for all?

Why not just subsidize healthcare for those who do not have it? That option, as bad as it is, has to be cheaper more transparent and less intrusive than anything the Grand Grandma and dozen crooked pols can come up with in 1,990 pages crafted behind close doors.

Of course the Demo-Dopes Senate and House healthcare bills do shine the light of day on one issue promised by the Dear Dope and the Grand Granny – transparency. The Dope himself said the bill would be crafted before the cameras of C-Span. Oooops, he lied – again - and as a result grandma and grandpa will have to die a few years early. If Dear-Dope-a-Care passes, seniors will be expected to forego expensive eldercare and just dying-off so that the Maximus Dopelous can spread some of their hard earned money around. It will be our senior’s last great duty to their country.

But of course the rest of will have sacrifice as well. If you need joint replacement, get it now, before any form of Dear-Dope-a-Care limits access to such procedures to only the Party grandees and faithful.

Plastic Face Pelosi’s new euphemism for her government run healthcare scheme is a “consumer option.” Ha! I’m running an ice cream stand and selling ice cream bars for 75 cents and doing a good business. Along comes a government subsidized “consumer option" that sells ice cream bars for a nickel. Not only that, the government passes all sorts of board health codes, laws and taxes that affect me but not the "consumer option." Soon I’m out of business.

But soon after I’ve been run out of business, the “consumer option” stops coming around to your neighborhood everyday, and when it finally does show up the ice cream doesn’t taste like it should. It’s now made with soy milk because that’s what the government decided that you needed to be eating.

It’ll be a mess and certainly worth fighting against right up to day the government decides to withhold medical care for you because at age 62 with a bad knee and a slow ticker, you’re just not worth the investment anymore.
