Why Universal Health Care Will Pass

Republicans say that Universal Health Care will cost too much. It's true. Nobody cares. They didn't care that the recent wars were too expensive and totally uncalled for. They didn't care when trillions of dollars in foolish corporate welfare, that only resulted in massive layoffs, were authorized. Republicans say that Universal Health Care will overload and disrupt the existing system. Also true. Nobody gives a shit.

People want health care as an entitlement. They will get it. Government health care will usher in many good things for the black dirt ignorant, and proud of it, Republican base, best exemplified by the illiterate, faux fundamentalist supporters of Sarah Palin. Universal Health Care is going to mean free, plentiful prescription narcotics for all. Benzodiazapines, opiates, mood elevators, stimulants, you name it. There is nothing ignorant wing nuts like better than a good, legally sanctioned, high. If they can get enough scrips, the excess can be sold at a tidy profit to supplement the family income. Another obvious benefit, will be the dramatic increase in Social Security disability claims. If government doctors certify disabilities, the social welfare system will expedite the claim and the working days of the snaggletoothed values voter, seeking a free government paycheck, will be over. It's too good of a deal to pass up.

Universal Health Care will sail through Congress.
