Health Care Plan at 60


Harry Reid the Democratic Senate leader has expressed his confidence that the health care reform bill has the necessary 60 votes to avoid a filibuster by the GOP and Joe Lieberman. Maverick John McCain has admitted the bill that the bill will pass muster in the Senate. The opus has had the 'public option' whittled from the bill along with any mention of abortion, while saving the highly valued abstinence program of the GW Bush administration. Fox News spokespeople are ruing the rise of socialism in America without any mention of the massive corporate welfare to the nation's failing banks.

Laura Ingram paraphrased the old anti-Nazi warning by saying, "First they came for the rich and I said nothing."

The Bush family made money with the Nazis and they said nothing and more blueblood families earned interest off the Nazis with good reason. The Hitlerites were pro-business and nothing coined profit faster than slave labor.

Labor cost of zero.

And no health care either.

Now that's free-market enterprise at its best.

Unfortunately the Democratic Health Reform Plan is not so great for the workers. The insurance companies remain the final arbiter of the country's health. Obesity and fast food were left off the bill. And marijuana is still against the law on the federal level.

My health plan is the same as ever.

Organic food, beer, sleep, and occasionally cocaine.

All natural.

And a prayer that I never get so sick that I can't rob a bank and get thrown in jail.

10-25 would cover my health cares to the end of my life.

Not much of a plan, but better than what is offered by the Democrats.
