Nancy Pelosi got herself to a microphone this week and reminded the good people of America that time is running out to sign up for Obamacare. "As a nice Valentine day," the Minority Leader offered, "you can take your loved one to sign up for the Affordable Care Act."
At first I thought the sentence didn't make sense grammatically. It should be, "As a nice Valentine's Day gift," or “For a nice Valentine's Day gift," but then I thought, it really will take you all day, in a quasi-romantic huddle, close together in front of a computer monitor, as you tell Madam government every detail of your life, to find out that your deductible is twice what it was when you used to have a full-time job. So, "As a nice Valentine's Day," is probably about right.
You lucky seniors get special treatment, of course. As a neighbor told me, she's about 20 years past her childbearing years, but in case she becomes surreptitiously fertile, she can get birth control for free. In the old days, when you had free will you could actually tailor an insurance policy to your personal needs, but thanks to Big Sister, you don't need to make any decisions anymore. Party on Mildred. Our day has finally come.
The time you will spend with your future healthcare personnel, talking about how you want to die after getting your flu shot, will be proof enough that Big Sis wants you healthy – and happy. The thing is, if you aren't happy or completely healthy, Big Sis has to make room for others. We are spending enough money on birth control. Hospital beds are kind of extravagant don't you think?
But the greatest thing about taking all day Saturday to sign up for Obamacare has got to be those big bad, funky death panels.
Yes, complete healthcare imbeciles will be deciding for you what treatment you will have, through their ability to get elected, based on nothing but the bottom line. Your life is only precious if you stay out of the hospital.
Sure, we harp about the price tag of Obamacare and about how the government doesn't seem understand that paying for healthcare for everyone will bankrupt us, especially those in the so-called middle class who have to take care of their parents, children, themselves, the unemployed, those who refuse to be employed and stray Guatemalans, but rest assured, according to the leaders of both parties, Obamacare is the law of the land, so deal with it.
But buck up America! Once you expend your Valentine's Day on the limits Big Government has to offer, you can bask in the love that Big Government has allotted for you. As long as you are not sick.

Don’t forget with the politically corrupt IRS in charge and pawing through your private medical records, you healthcare may depend on how you vote. If you are a TEA party activist you could well be denied life saving care.
Excellent job, JenK
You are exactly correct. It is not an accident that the IRS will enforce collections for ObamaCare.
I love you. Let’s get married.
Liberals don’t love, or even like, anyone but themselves. You can’t love others and be a liberal.
your healthcare may depend on how you vote
I said this was one of the primary goals all along.
