Liberal Utopia: You can opt out of Medicare

Friday, September 11, 2009

No, you can’t opt out of “Medi‘care’ For All™.”

ne "superdooper wonderful government program you already have" is, with one exception (namely, hospital coverage), totally voluntary. The other "superdooper wonderful government program you're about to have rammed down your throat whether you like it or not" is, without exception, totally mandatory.

Seeing the difference is so easy a liberal can do it. That is, if he doesn't have his head totally up his—

Never mind. That chronic predicament is totally mandatory if he wants to maintain the lowly rank of "liberal."

A few other liberals' mind-boggling lies and inanities heard at a ~~"town hall" meeting~~ potted plant-infested greenhouse:

"I'll tell you where we're going to get the money to pay for it. From the government! It has all the money!!1ONE!111!!!!!!!" (Really, a transplanted Yankee liberal nearby not only took a break from his and his shortbused-in comrades' incessantly rude babbling to belch this every time anyone at the microphone asked about such nonexistent money, but was genuinely perturbed by the obvious fact that, somehow, practically everyone other than liberals hadn't come up with the same Miracle "Answer"^® yet.)

"You're going to have a real choice" (after you're forced to comply with the Individual Mandate™ to make/take a government-chosen "acceptable" one and then pay for it through all the government-chosen price controls, tax hikes, benefit reductions, paperwork increases, etc. — provided, of course, your definition of "real" doesn't exclude millions of winged pigs operating snowblowers in Hell).

"And, yes, I have read the bill" (just don't ask me if I completely comprehend the full implications of ~~all~~ ~~most~~ any significant portion of it).

"Competition" (when drooled by a career politician or bureaucrat who's never in his life privately owned or operated a real business, means "I wonder how much more government we'll need before, yes, we can totally eliminate it?").

"My own Congressional Health Plan is no better than the ones we'll let you 'choose' from" (because everyone's going to be able to get the same ~~Blue~~ Platinum Cross Platinum Shield coverage that I have, including those millions of winged pigs operating snowblowers in Hell).

"The bill says, no, illegal aliens can't receive health benefits" (as do bills that say, no, they can't rob banks, either; except those bills expressly provide real measures to effectually deter and punish attempted and actual bank robberies).

"The $500 Billion cut in American seniors' current, totally voluntary Medicare program isn't really a cut" (because that's going to be used instead to help ram the new, totally mandatory Medi"care" For All™ program down each and every one of their throats whether they like it or not).

Speaking of lying fascist liberals^(birm), if the desperately miserably failing lying liar Former Junior Senøtard BarACØRN vøbaMünchhausen lies one more time with his "Uh, let me be clear™, Medicare is a government-run program too" by deceitfully omitting the central fact that "except, uh, uh, yes you can pretty much opt out of that one," every winged pig in Hell will have to go back to using snow shovels — because his b.s. would've sunk so low that its mixing with the blizzards there will sock in all of them beneath a fetid slush no chute-equipped device can ever attempt to tackle without instantaneously clogging up.
