“While discussing the upcoming Universal Health Care Program with my friend the other day, I think we have found the solution. I am sure you have heard the ideas that if you’re a senior you need to suck it up and give up the idea that you need any health care. A new hip? Unheard of. We simply can’t afford to take care of you anymore. You don’t need any medications for your high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, etc.
“So here is the solution. When you turn 70, you get a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives. Of course, you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head and all the health care you need. New teeth, great!!! Need glasses, no problem. New hip, knee, kidney, lung, heart? Well bring it on.
“Who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care.
“And, since you are a prisoner, you don’t have to pay any income tax.”
but, but, do you get Viagra too? *blink, blink*
