OMH! This only gets better! The new health care rationing system is literally going to be DMV health care<\/a> (it’s so funny that when you joke about these things<\/a>, they actually do them):<\/p>\n

The most revelatory passage in the so-called “plain English” version of the health care bill that the Senate Finance Committee approved on Tuesday (without ever drafting the actual legislative language) says that in the future Americans will be offered the convenience of getting their health insurance at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
\nThis is no joke. If this bill becomes law, it will be the duty of the U.S. secretary of health and human services or the state governments overseeing federally mandated health-insurance exchanges to ensure that you can get your health insurance at the DMV.
\nYou also will be able to get it at Social Security offices, hospitals, schools and “other offices” the government will name later.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, just the people I want to go to for my health care needs. They’re always so chipper and happy there. They can’t handle their current workload without lines, how are they going to handle health care insurance? And schools? Don’t they have enough to do with teaching the children? They aren’t even handling that. And do you really want miscellaneous people wondering around your child’s school looking for health care insurance (or so they say).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
