The Perfect Solution to Senior HealthCare

   

   

 While discussing

    

    

 the upcoming Universal Health Care Program with my

    

    

 sister-in-law 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 incometax.
