Joint Session – Hippoboscidae’s Swarms

The bloviateor in chief just finished his long winded address to congress regarding Nancy Pelosi's his Health Care Reform package. His message was clear, crisis situation, economic failure eminent, the poor, poor people without any health care at all. All that was missing was the dead body of Ted Kennedy up there in the box next to his wife. You know, hammer home universal health care for all people including those trapped in the back of cars sunk in a pond.

No mention of Tort Reform, no mention of real Insurance competition by allowing interstate competition, no mention of transportability and no mention of policy ownership. He spoke of paying for all of it with "savings" in fixing problems in Medicaid and Medicare and with the fees paid by all those new users that his great plan will draw.

His crisis is not so bad that people are dying in the streets; no one gets turned away from the Emergency Room when they go and no one questions their citizenship status while there. Yes a good insurance plan is expensive and yes insurance companies do ration however there is recourse. Not so with Uncle Sam, ever deal with the IRS?
 

If the savings he claims are there, why are they not now going after them saving those dollars for something else worthwhile, like bonus's for congressional staffers. How is it they see this wasteful spending while they are trying to sell a new expensive program?
 

And the best, how is it that Congress itself is exempt from this program? Why do we have to get this shoved down our collective throats yet the Senators and Congress-critters themselves keep the plans they are on now. Fair. I think not.
 

They are in this for themselves and the public be dammed. They swarm around this like hippoboscidae's on the dead.

Shameful.

 

(Note:  the hippoboscidae are the family of parasitic bloodsucking wingless flies that absorb the remains of the dead.)
