So I was wondering lately what Hilary Clinton's plan for health care is. I don't watch much tv, so to Google, I descended. What I found was basically a midget with two broken legs jumping for a cookie suspended six feet in the air. In others words, if you're sick and don't have money already, you better hope that Hilary's "midget ladder" tax break is over two feet tall.
Still with me? Good. Have a cookie.
Now, Obama on the other hand has a very similar plan. Give federal subsidies to those who need it for health care. The difference is, in the Obamaverse, you don't have two broken legs.
Most descriptions of Hilary's plan compare the mandate for health insurance to state mandates for auto insurance. Can't afford auto insurance? No AUTO. Can't afford health insurance? No HEALTH (remember... midget... approximately one dollar income per inch of height). If you get caught driving without insurance, what happens? Your car gets impounded and you get yet another fee to throw in the oven. By now, the cookies might as well be burnt to a crisp. So what happens if you get caught LIVING without health insurance? What, YOU get impounded? More fees? Is there going to be a federal subsidy for whatever penalty you get for not having benefited enough from the first subsidy? I'm so confused, I'm not even hungry anymore.

This year, I'm voting for
