Health Care Reform Explained

There has been a lot of "vigorous" discussion recently on the subject of the proposed health care reform initiatives. It is a complex subject which seems to generate strong opinions in nearly every American.

Yet the depth and breadth of issues which plague medical-industrial complex and the bill being championed by Congress are so shockingly complicated that actual debate about positives and negatives has been reduced to a shouting match.


It is exciting that a political conversation can so invigorate my fellow electorate into the town hall equivalent of a mosh pit.
Everyone from the gerrymanders to the geriatric seem to have some violently passionate point they wish to share with their fellow citizens with tremendous verve.


It occurred to me that much of this might be as a result of either confusion or misinformation regarding the proposed health care reform initiative.

As a leading expert on nearly everything, I feel the need to help America understand the White House vision of our nations health care system.



In the most simple terms, it is entirely based on Star Trek.









President Obama is a member of the Star Trek generation.
The impact of Roddenberry's vision of a future society based on equality and service to one another should not be glossed over.


With that, and the passage of the proposed legislation, each and every American will be issued a uniform of closely fitted, synthetic clothing.

This will help our citizens see the similarities we all share and will also contribute to our desires to lead healthier lives.
How so, you ask?


The pants will, in fact, make our butts look fat.


Our collective vanity and the power of peer pressure will have us all going to the gym more often, taking walks, working on our abs...


There has been a lot of talk about rationing, in the debate about the debated bill.
It is true, there are many Americans and only so much funding for this type of system.

There is some discussion that the forthcoming uniforms will involve some color coding, which will help determine where one is prioritized in the allocation process. The details in this part of the bill are one of the few items remaining unresolved, at present.

Preliminary drafts have suggested that the uniforms variations will be of either yellow, blue or red jerseys issued on the basis of ones importance in the furthering of the American ideal.
Or something like that...
As I mentioned, it is still in the revisions phase.

I am sure that will all sort itself out.

I am hoping that I don't get stuck with a red shirt, as blue really brings out the color of my eyes.




I am going to go off on a bit of a tangent here, with some unsubstantiated stories regarding the President.

I have it on good authority that Mr. Obama is actually the son of Nichelle Nichols and William Shatner.
They are, in fact, members of Star Fleet and fell in love at a remote outpost-Deep Space Station: Hawaii.
Following the birth of their love child, it was decided it would be quaint to raise him in the twentieth/twenty-first century.
Shatner and Nichols piloted a space ship at time/space warping speed on a course around the sun to bring their son to a perceived better, more simple time.
Their commitment to the ideals of Star Fleet and continuing demands on that service led Shatner and Nichols to find a suitable foster family for their young son.
Reports are that they continue to commute to the future for work, but prefer to reside here in our present - so that they might see their son grow to be a man.




I hope this has helped you understand the dynamic intricacies of the debate and also some of the motivations that have gotten this giant shit ball rolling.

You are welcome.

I am glad I could be of service.
