[Vision2020] The right to be dead (Andy Borowitz)

[Donovan Arnold]

I don't mind having to be forced to pay $400 a month for insurance I don't need to make some insurance company wealthier. Living on Alpo and in a cardboard box is a small price to pay as long as I have health insurance that doesn't cover any of my medical issues and has an annual deductible that is 1/2 my take home pay, who can complain.
I am wondering when the government is going to force everyone to buy expensive camping gear because many of us are going to be homeless when we get our next unregulated premium increase we must pay or else the government will rob you of even more of your limited personal property.

An Argument Against Healthcare
From the National Alliance of Funeral Directors  
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – The following message was released today by the National Alliance of Funeral Directors:This week, several Republican Supreme Court Justices have argued that the Affordable Care Act supported by the Obama Administration is unconstitutional.  At the National Alliance of Funeral Directors, we couldn’t agree more.It was Revolutionary War hero Patrick Henry who said, in 1775, “Give me liberty or give me death.”  From that moment on, legal scholars have agreed that the Constitution guarantees every American the liberty to be dead.  Here at the Alliance, we will fight for your right to be dead to the death.Let’s take a look, if you will, at the Second Amendment of the Constitution, which protects every American’s right to shoot another American.  It says nothing about giving the person who is shot health insurance to prevent him from dying.  This cherished constitutional right to shoot people and make them
 dead is currently recognized in all fifty states, most recently Florida.In commenting on the Affordable Care Act this week, Justice Samuel Alito compared the Obama healthcare plan to burial insurance.  Coincidentally, burial insurance is the Republican healthcare plan, and one that we enthusiastically support.  Under this plan, every American would be mandated to buy a coffin from one of our member-owned and operated funeral homes.  May we recommend the Peaceful Valley Royale,™ a luxury mahogany casket with sienna satin interior and the finest imitation antique nickel handles ($2899).As the organization representing America’s funeral directors, gravediggers, embalmers and cremators, we are confident that the Supreme Court will ultimately do the right thing and decide that healthcare flies in the face of every American’s constitutional right to the pursuit of deadness.  And when they do, we’ll be waiting for you.Sincerely,The National
