I totally understand this is satire, but I cannot help from equating this with current practice in any voting precinct where voting authorities are forced to accept provisional ballots claiming the right to vote, even for an effing illegal alien so clearly criminal.

Its a shame when satire matches reality.

Obviously the sign of good satire...But not a good sign for our reality.

What could go wrong?

The Zero’s word is good, it must be true.

Please, do not give that ignorant s*** any ideas.

Satire for us, but uber intellectual reasoning for your typical marshmallow-major lib.

The results would be like the recent food stamp fiasco at Wal Mart.

The only reason this is satire (at least for now) is because the Obama administration hadn’t thought of this yet.

Another great one, John!

And we know this is coming.... Tell me, are you actually a clairvoyant, or have you developed a Time Machine?

Scary, man. Scary.

FR has to be good “satire prep” ;-) It is inevitable that they will “do something” when people start turning up for treatments and care at doctors offices and hospitals only to find they have no insurance. As I posted the other day, I wouldn’t be surprised if the feds just step in with some illegal executive order that says “send the bill to us”.

Your report is not satire, John. Have you seen this?

“However, we aren't dealing with normal conditions.

That is 100% correct. We're dealing with a government program. Someone once said, "a camel is a horse designed by committee". That needs to be modified to,"a dead camel is a horse designed by the government."

“Honestly, it's a total mess,” the Secretary continued....We consider it part of their patriotic duty.”...

The patriotic thing for Sibelius to do is to resign.

***“Honestly, it’s a total mess,” the Secretary continued.***

When people preface a statement with ‘honestly’, you can be sure their normal discourse is dishonest or, in this administration’s case, out and out lying.
