I read a very entertaining article today in the Huffington Post. Now, I know the Huffington Post is not known for their fair-sided reporting. I’m pretty sure all of their bloggers are on the left of the line. But, it is entertaining to get different perspectives from different media outlets. I think Rush Limbaugh is one of the most entertaining radio personalities, even though I might not agree with his viewpoints.
The blog was entitled “Top Ten Things the Health Care Bill Won’t Do.” It was short and sweet, and funny. Take all of this with a grain of salt, and laugh a little. I mean, with all of the rumors and outlandish ideas running around out there, why not add a little more to the mix?
1. Encourage Americans to perform their own surgeries with detailed instructions from www.whitehouse.gov.
2. Give health care to aliens. I mean actual aliens from other galaxies.
3. Force our sons and daughters into Nursing or (wait for it) Euthanasia School.
4. Give the government control over our bank accounts or the weather.
5. Create internment camps so people that don’t like the idea of better health care can live in tent cities policed by the National Guard.
6. Merger alert! USA-Mexico-Canada, Inc. (A co-op to reduce administrative costs).
7. House all doctors and dentists at the DMV.
8. Kill anyone’s grandparents.
9. Establish Powerball-style “see a specialist” lotteries.
10. Make health care somehow more expensive than it already is.
