President Won’t Confine His Family to Options Covered under His Health Care Plan

President Obama’s health care TV special turned out to be more revealing than he intended. When asked whether he would accept the limitations on care prescribed by a government run health plan like Medicare when it came to members of his own family, the President responded: “no.”

“A national health care plan is aimed at ensuring a minimum standard of care for ordinary people who don’t have the resources for better care,” the President explained. “People with missions critical to the survival and prosperity of the nation—like the president, cabinet, members of congress and the like—will, naturally, need to receive the best care possible.”

The President explained that a cost/benefit calculus will be applied in decisions made under his plan. “We can’t just throw money around,” Obama said. “Persons of higher value to the nation will qualify for more expensive efforts to preserve their lives and health. It’s like a baseball team investing more in the health of a superstar than they do in a bench-jockey or minor-leaguer.”

The President further assured Americans that “those who are willing to spend their own money—like I would if it’s my wife, if it’s my children—can pay for their own care. We won’t outlaw private purchase of services like they do in Canada’s ‘single-payer’ system.”

GEESH - My ex was fond of saying “He puts his pants on the same way I do! What makes him special?”

Normal people don't have Chris Matthews to zip them up.

Once again, excellent satire!

The Obamessiah’s reality grows closer and closer to your satire every week, though. It must be getting increasingly difficult to satirize him.

Perhaps it’s time you considered looking into a new line of work because your job may be one of the ones NOT “saved” by the “stimulus”.

The voters of the USA should accept only a Medical Plan proposal which is all-inclusive and by that I mean the elected officials and all those special interests behind the scenes - people who have plans which are out of reach for the taxpayer public who have to pay for them.

Unless 100% of medical care is practiced for everyone who is eligible - the people should not accept a tier system giving extra benefits to a special few..
