Well, now - it's GOOD to be the US Congress, or a federal employee/master, ain't it?
We're apparently going to be shoved into the Procrustean Bed of The Democommies' new "health care plan" - after the obligatory infomercial from ABC-StateNews on Thursday.
9 out of 10 will agree! With what, we'll have no idea, but 9 out of 10 will agree! At least, that's what the TeeVee will tell us, on our bran-new HDTV signals.
Of course, our money & blood-sucking masters in Congress WON'T be joining the rest of us proletariat - because frankly, they're better than us!
Oh, and I also hear that federal employees won't be hunted down and fined by the gov-thugs if they decide they like their current care plan (provided by us eager peasants) better than Peasant Care.
If we chase them up the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building, and begged them real nice, ya think they might let us shine their shoes (after we licked them clean, of course)?
Betsy McCaughey gives us the scoop in the WSJ:
Dissecting the Kennedy Health Bill (Congress EXEMPT)
You may now touch the hem of Lord Kennedy's royal purple robe - but don't get too close...
If that IS what the Democrat political elites REALLY WANT, heres the deal:
NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
No members of Congress or ANYONE in the White House running off to Walter Reed or Bethesda for that nasty ingrown toenail, hacking cough and spitting up blood. Take a number and wait in the same line the rest of us are.
That goes for your congressional and White House children and other family members! GET IN LINE!!!
And if your UNIVERSAL RULES dictate that some life-saving treatment would be too expensive or not be cost-effective for you older members, heres a twenty call someone who cares.
Oh yeah forgot the best part: If ANY of you are found to be availing yourselves of what idiot representative Fortney Pete Stark (as in raving mad) from (where else) KAHLIFONIA once called Boutique Medicine (cute, huh?) by bypassing the universal system, not getting that needed treatment will be the least of your problems.
