The Perfect Solution to Senior Health Care


While discussing the upcoming Universal Health Care Program with my friend the other day, I think we have found the solution. I am sure you have heard the ideas that if you 're a senior you need to suck it up and give up the idea that you need any health care. A new hip? Unheard of. We simply can't afford to take care of you anymore. You don't need any medications for your high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, etc. Let's take care of the young people. After all, they will be ruling the world very soon.


So here is the solution.
When you turn 70, you get a gun and 4 bullets.
You are allowed to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives.
Of course, you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day,
a roof over your head and all the health care you need! New teeth, great!
Need glasses, no problem. New hip, knee, kidney, lung, heart?
Well bring it on. And who will be paying for all of this?
The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care.
And, since you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income tax.


And if we all do our part we can end up in the same prison and have one heck of a social life.


I really think we have found a Perfect Solution

I have heard of the "ideas". Where may I ask are these "ideas" coming from? Are they serious legislative suggestions? If so, let's see a few newspapers detailing how they are being suggested, by whom, and if these ideas have any support from congress.

I gathered that part of it was a joke, but some of what you were mentioning at first sounds eerily similar to the death panel rumors.

It starts off by mentioning "universal health care", which of course is a concept that will likely remain as such in this country, even with something like a public option. It then basically talks about how in the plan seniors are left behind/out of the loop (no more medical care), THEN the "joke" begins, which hinges upon the intro, of course. The joke of course being that we'll just send the uninsured seniors to prison after they've done away with a few congressman and they'll be getting better care there, anyway.

At least that's how I took it.

I think the voters have spoken on what they want for US healthcare from the government. How plain can they be?

I want everything, I want the best, I want it now, I want it for free, I want it forever, screw everbody else to get it to me, hurry up dammit!

Yes, well just who can we screw to make it all happen?

As a nation we're not producing physical wealth. We're only producing the paper kind, and that business collapsed when the biggest backers called in their duckets at a critical point.

The taxpayer was tapped to "save the system" but now he's tapped out, and the money must be found somewhere.

We're certainly not going to produce the value needed under the present circumstances.

The administration will be forced to extort it from the most defenseless possible sources.

That or just fold their hand and admit we can't build it out of thin air.

All this freebie stuff is not even handed out in the Cdn medical system, plus in normal cases like eye care to dental care to some extreme operations not avaliable in Canada then it is pay through the nose to travel to the USA or India.

Ah dreams have to be lovely in mind.

My dental work for just one job came close to a bit over three grand for one bit of special dental care, while my eye operation cost me 3,600.00 as it was $1,800.00 pr eye & I had assumed it was for both eyes.  So not all is FREE.

WOW! May I suggest switching to boxer shorts since it appears the briefs are too tight. Breathe, close your eyes, sit back and relax. It was a joke, man. Lighten up and laugh a little like this >>> lol lol lol Now, give it a go.

Maybe when the day comes when I've completely given up all hope in our elected officials I'll find it a little bit funnier. I'm still young, you know. It's written in a way that would mainly appeal to my parents' generation. HA HA, let's all go to prison, no taxes there! See, I can't even find myself to laugh at that. It's like saying to a homeless person, "Wow! No you don't have to worry about work on Mondays!!!!"

I don't have the mindset to find the joke funny, sorry. Nearly every other joke posted on this board gets a laugh out of me, though :p

And it probably will be sooner than later.

Jokes are fine, but these are world-wide problems, and they are horrifingly real.

We've been falling for this all or nothing, democrat or republican, capitalism or socialism, east or west, and totally false yet artfully manufactured polarization of society for far too long.

"Manufactured," you ask?

Just follow the money. Follow the biggest money. See who really profits from the constant wars. Who profits from ALL the wars--not just from this particular war or that particular war.

We're being kept from cooperation against the real forces that are running (and ruining) this world, by the hate and war they convince us to wage against each other over these brain-dead ideologies.

We need to find a middle ground where we can all stand against the real villians.

It's only a dog-eat-dog world because they've convinced us to make it so.

Every year it's something new. Some new worry they plague us with. This time they've got us so worried about the fact that our health care might diminish or might cost more, that we totally forget the 90% of the people on this globe that not only have absolutely no health care at all: they'll likely starve to death before they have to worry about cancer or some knee replacement surgery.

We're quibbling over who gets the best deck chair, while the Titanic is going down right under our feet, and we can't even see it.

That's how good these villians have become at pitting us one against the other.

Well, here's a newsflash, it only gets worse. I gave up hope on our government a very long time ago, but I don't allow it to spoil my moods. Yes, some issues hit home but I can still joke about them. Bottom line is if you can't find humor in everything, especially at your youth, I pity your overall outlook on life as you age.

Good luck.

BTW, I like the homeless joke. I think I'll use it. lol

I didn't intend that to be a joke.

I can find humor in everything. A horribly-written joke doesn't usually bring out my humorous side. A joke that long has to have a fantastic punchline. It is written in a very dry, sarcastic tone. There is no punch line. It's just kind of a "Hah! Fancy that, Wallace! Prison! No more taxes! Perfect!"

In short, it's a s*** joke. That's why I took it seriously to begin with. Sorry.

I remember some yrs ago when shoe salesman in the Hudson Bay Company.  I was given the  job of just advertising ONE pair of Frorshiem shoes while rest of the large windown was coloured to block off anything else.

Still this old timer, that hung around the streets walked into the city police with something like "Well it is starting to get cold again so I guess you will have to lock me up for some months".  The Police told him that was not allowed anymore & he was shocked, to realize he had to commite a crime.

So that evening he took a brick or rock to smash the window with my one pair of shoes.  Cost was the HBC had to replace all that glass to whatever & the Police had to put old Bill into jail as he so asked.

Something went wrong in the laws to you name it.  Maze of people in Vancouver  will NOT sleep in Govt shelters & want to sleep outside on their own.  Yes some die in doing the immediate above.

So come over to the COSTLY Olympic Winter Games, in Vancouver, to look around & find the people that do not want to sleep in Govt warm shelters.  It should be interesting, to costly.


Remember all the others on the road are crazy & out to kill you.

No apology needed to me, it's your life. Again, you're the one who must deal with your own irascible in life. I prefer to laugh my way through it.

I was on another board & the m/c rider was bitching away about the USA being the last place he was going to live in.  So out of curosity I said samething like "Where are these fare away green fields in your mind?  Like could it be Italy, Switzerland, Mexico, Afgentina, Brazil or where?"  So mentioned to him this one Cdn & family was pissed of in living at the Pacifc Coast area in some small town in Canada SO family & him evacuated to Falkland Islands & he simply loved the peace & such for a few weeks, ONLY the UK & Argentina started up a war over said Falkland Islands.  Seems some weeks after all of this he & his family moved BACK TO the same area of B.C. on the Pacific Coast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Life has to be interesting no matter where one moves or what one thinks!!!

And to think you cannot purchase sacks of Amonian Nitrate fertilizer for some reason like it cane be made into Explosive.  Some yrs back I had a soil test down on my two orchards & realized I was to use a different fertilizer being Amonion Sulphate, but smells the same, mind you I was cutting down on fertilizer as I was doing a different pruning of my apple trees----around 10% of what I use to waste.

We have lots of dairies here, plus chicken/turkey farms & ranching, so manure is the typical thing to use.

Dairies are a fantastic source of Manure. Essentually they give it away, they need to get rid of it. You might pay a pittance for the dump truck and driver, but, what a soil conditioner. Manure and wood chips.

In Portland Ore., I'd have my half acre garden spot covered with three feet of Manure/wood chips in the late fall. All Winter long I'd rake the top surface to expose it to air. And the winter rain washed it as well (no smell). Come spring I'd till the (by then) Wood chips into the dirt, and that could be done way ahead of just plain dirt tilling, because it takes (up there) quite a while for the ground to dry enough to till. To soon is a mud that turns to a hardness that can't be fixed. But Wood chips tilled in just made a loose loam.

New rule!!!

If you are a farmer, and you fertilize with pig manure - you have to stand at the corner of the field from 4pm tp 6pm every day so that any passing motorcyclist or convertible driver can stop and punch you in the face. :-)


Wow,,, threads take funny turns. From healthcare/politics to fertilizer. Not really that much of a stretch. Now how can we tie it all to Kevin Bacon?

Well, Lyndon LaRouche says Obama's "health Care" plan is second only to Hitler's in fostering death through euthenasia.

There's some cute photos of Obama with a paintbrush moustache.

Also Al Gore as a human possum.

But the really scary stuff is about the fascists taking over Ukraine and Estonia etc.

It can't happen here though..... smhair
