cash for Codgers

**nonsqtr** · 25th August 2009 08:28 AM

Ha ha - I scraped this, but it's worth a read:

--------------------------------------

Our government, realizing the big success of the President's "Cash For Clunkers" rebate program, has revamped a major portion of the Obama Nationalization - Health Care Plan.

President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Reid are expected to make this major announcement at a joint news conference later this week. I have obtained an advanced copy of the proposal which is named....

"CASH FOR CODGERS" and it works like this... Couples wishing to access health care funds in order to pay for the delivery of a child will be required to turn in one old person on the day of delivery. The amount the government grants them will be fixed according to a sliding scale. Older and more prescription dependent codgers will garner the highest amounts.

Special "Bonuses" will be paid for those submitting codgers in targeted groups, such as smokers, alcohol drinkers, persons 10 pounds over their government prescribed weight, - and any member of the Republican Party.

Smaller bonuses will be given for codgers who consume beef, soda, fried foods, potato chips, lattes, whole milk, dairy products, bacon, Brussel sprouts, cheese, or Girl Scout Cookies.

All codgers will be rendered totally useless via a toxic injection, - similar to that given to the engines of the 'clunker' trade ins. This will insure that they like the vehicle 'clunkers' are not secretly resold (traded in) or their body parts harvested to keep other codgers in repair and among society.

The point being that despite the lack of blatant description of exactly what the "panels" will do you can read between the lines and make an interpretation of what policies will prosper based on the words that come out of our elected leaders mouth? You know what P Obama said and you know he placed Ezekiel Emmanuel in a position of power and you know he allies himself with communist and socialist, you know he holds the most extreme position on abortion in the whole of government and actually supports abortion for babies that have already been born, etc.

That's a fucking LIE. Stop it. There are no death panels there aren't going to BE ANY DEATH PANELS. You can't sit there and draw one conclusion after another and make assertions that aren't true and have anyone take you seriously.

Why are you willing to go to such extremes to win this argument? Do you like your insurance so much you are willing to sacrifice your integrity to prevent the government from stealing customers THE INSURANCE COMPANY DOESN'T WANT ANYWAY from them?

The 30 million or whatever it is that aren't insured would be insured if they were customers the insurance company wanted. THEY AREN'T. Do you think when you throw something away you should still have a right to own it?

And just so you know, health care reform isn't going to simply go away because of this like it did in the 90's. It's going to morph into something a lot like Medicare Part D, where costs continue to rise and government money is simply allocated to subsidize the increases.

But for people who can afford to pay more for insurance, they will simply have to pay for it, plus they will get the extra added benefit of their tax money going to subsidize people like me being forced to now buy private, overpriced insurance, which won't be required to cover much and if I get really sick I'll end up declaring bankrupcy anyway, in which case someone else will also end up paying for it.

Trust me on this, as soon as the insurance companies get the deal they want, the Republicans will back off and have a change of heart.

The point being that fearful people NEED something to fear. It proves that republicans are sheep and iberals are goats. What's the difference? Sheep need to be driven. Goats need to be lead.
