The Feld’s Smashup
Three words why the public option will be a disaster for health care: crash test dummies. Most of us seek to keep ourselves in the best possible physical condition. We exercise, watch our diets, and do our best to use sleeping pills that aren’t all that addictive. By contrast, crash test dummies drive into brick walls at top speeds. Then they do it again. Then they do it again. You get the idea. Studies show they are also prone to engage in other risky behaviors (did you know a crash test dummy is 58% more likely to go on a meth related crime spree than a member of the general public?). Yet under universal health care, we would be expected to subsidize this self-destructive lifestyle. In a world of finite resources, universal health care for crash test dummies ensures there will be shortages of medicine, money, and medical practitioners for other potential patients (i.e., us). Let’s stop this from happening, before Barack Obama can strap us into the driver’s seat, rev the car up to 120, and smash us all into the concrete embankment of socialism. – Feld.

I do not think these test drivers should receive health care coverage of any sort!
They are fool-hearty, thrill seeking, destructive beings! They are choicefully inflicting all this tremendous damage on their plastic bodies.
I think it only right that, if their wounds are going to be tended, they should be tended by students practicing the delivery of medical care.
I feel strongly that these crazy, violence loving beings should NOT be eligible for the public option…. oh whoops! we aren’t going to have a public option …. never mind.
