MYTH:
The Democratic health care reform proposal will not let you choose your own doctor.
FACT:
You will have a wider-than-ever range of doctors to choose from! In order to accommodate 45 million new patients, the plan expands the definition of “doctor” from “medically licensed professional” to now also include:
- Morning radio DJs who have adopted the moniker
- Televised bullies (Phil, Laura)
- PhDs in any field, and “All But Dissertation” PhD candidates. Trust us, you will have no problem getting an appointment to see these master procrastinators.
- Soda creators (Pepper, Brown)1
MYTH:
Obamacare™ will ration life-saving medicine away from the elderly and disabled via “Death Panels.”
FACT:
While nothing can replicate the current mercy-driven system of rationing via “Private Insurer Form Letter,” the new proposal certainly does not consign end-of-life decisions to panels of faceless bureaucrats. Rather, they are taken up by exciting, glamorous “Celebrity Death Panels”™ (C-List minimum).

Universal health care will transform the United States into another Cuba/Canada/France/Venezuela/The Democratic Republic of the Congo.

MYTH:
Athena emerged, fully grown, from the skull of Zeus.
FACT:
Despite being King of the Gods and Lord of Thunder™, Zeus was denied medical coverage by private insurers due to being classed with a “Priapistic condition.” This painfully constant state of male “preparedness” could only be tamed by nonstop anonymous intercourse. Frankly, it’s a wonder Athena is the only creature to emerge from his body.
MYTH:
Suzie Jenkins’ mom is, like, a total “alkie.”
FACT:
Totally.
