My cash-strapped conservative friends are beginning to taste the fruits of national health care. I remember listening to them complain about the prospects of the new law. Like usual, I wasn't convinced they were making much sense, but I heard them out anyway. I knew my friends didn't have money, or health care, and when you hear a man argue against his own interest, then you know for certain he's stupid.
Recently, one of my conservative friends in a moment of exultation exclaimed boldly, "I'm on Medicare!" He proceeded to show me his newly minted state issued health card as evidence.
"Oh, that looks like Obamacare," I said.
"No, it's Medicare, I didn't sign up for Obamacare!"
"It looks like Obamacare to me. You better thank "that bitch" Nancy Pelosi."
"It's Medicare! Look how much I pay for my prescriptions... zero," my friend said to me with a smile.
"You should give your thanks to Barry!"
