PLUG UP THE DOUGHNUT HOLE

THE DOUGHNUT HOLE.

All the Conservatives and Republicans met in the basement of their headquarters after the first part of the law requiring, decent affordable health care for all went into effect, the ban on private insurance companies denying coverage to minors because of a pe-existing condition.
“We still have until 2014 to stop the law from applying to adults as well,” said Rep. Joe Baillly. “And we may well have control of Congress again before then and so be able to undo this wasteful spending and unnecessary government interference with private business, which was doing just fine and is ALWAYS better than government at anything. Those they wouldn't cover don't deserve to be covered.”
“All true, Joe,” said Micheal McCAll, minority leader of the House. “But we must be careful to avoid seeming against health care for all children, because almost everybody loves children.”
There were many nods to this.
“But we must find a way to ensure that what some call the doughnut hole is never filled in, turning it into a roll.”
There were puzzled looks, and Micheal shrugged.
“I like to eat well. Keep the rabble down so that the rich can have their fill and more is our mantra, after all.”
“Hear, hear,” all chorused, raising imaginary glasses.
“So how do we ensure that this hole is never filled in? Should we take Congress back for the rich in November, it will be easy to just undo law that only takes effect in the future, but we should have a plan, even if we do not take back both chambers, for preventing this law from going fully into effect. It must be our top priority for long term growth of our philosophy.”
Senator Harold Truinkey fell silent as the ancient elder Republican Statesmen Yogdald Brewnecka cleared his throat and slowly stood, black robes billowing out behind him.
“My friends,” he said. “What we must do has many aspects. We must continue the campaign of fewer choices and all the other deceptions that we have been doing. But we must also show the children negatively affected by all having access to a doctor, and if there are none we must create some. Any ideas??”
“Well,”said Joe, “I have a nephew whose been in a wheelchair and unable to speak since he was three because of some medical condition, so I could put him on the web and on TV. and say that his injuries are recent and due to seeing the wrong doctor because of the new law.”
“That's good,” said the ancient man. “What else?”
“I'm a certified doctor, “ said Frank Lunderhurg. “I can easily get into hospitals and ensure that not all new patients make a full recovery, thus showing the new system does not work.”
The ancient man said that this also sounded good.
“I could tell stories of not fully compensated doctors doing a poor job.”
“Is that true?” a young page asked.
The Senator looked up. “Not as far as I know, but the public won't know that.”
“Yes, the public must be made to firmly believe that any and all moves to reform the old system are bad for America,” said Joe.
“Indeed,” said the ancient man. “Well, we seem to have a good solution and a good start on implementing that solution. It is late though, so let us go to bed and dream about this and then plan more in the morning.”
They all agreed and thus the first meeting of The Society to plug up the doughnurt hole before it is filled in was concluded and adjourned.
