While discussing the upcoming Universal Health Care Program with my friend the other day, I think we found the solution. I am sure you have heard the ideas that if you are 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. After all, we need to take care of the young people; 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, they are all yours! Well, bring it on. And who will be paying for all of this? The very same government that just told you that you are too old for health care, that's who! 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 hell of a social life.
