Million Demand Free Healthcare
"Doctor's Examinations Not Just For Saddam"
Says Liberal Activist
12/14/03 - Millions of uninsured Americans stood by
as Saddam Hussein received his free yearly checkup - courtesy of
Uncle Sam. Representatives of Mr. Hussein's HMO, Halliburton
Healthcare, declined comment. Critics have argued that the HMO
has been "too selective" when deciding who is eligible
for coverage. The average patient pays upwards of $50,000 a year
for Halliburton's coverage - coverage consumers are saying "just
doesn't cut it." Not only that, but through clever legal wrangling,
the cost of Saddam's checkups end up falling onto the shoulders
of the American tax payer, leaving Halliburton and Dick Cheney with
100% of the profits. Should Mr. Hussein require extended hospital
stays, the cost could be enormous, according to several watchgroups.
"I doubt
Saddam is paying the premium the rest of us pay," says one
anonymous Halliburton customer. "It's an outrage. 44 million
Americans can't even afford to even see a doctor. And those that
do usually get bills for anything beyond having a thermometer shoved
up their ass. I mean - we all enjoy that - but come on!"
This particular
liberal pinko was immediately apprehended and flown to Gitmo for
his comments, as well he should have. Abusing the healthcare system
for purely anal gratification is absolutely Anti-American. It's
just Saddamy, plain and simple.
