STOP THE BREATHING MACHINE,THE REPEAL OF THE RIGHT TO BASIC HEALTH CARE

THE REPEALING OF THE RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE.

The mood in The G.O.P. Headquarters after the vote was jubilant.

“We did it,” said the Minority leader of The House. “We undid Obama Care.”
“Yes,”chimed in his whip. “Good buy to government run Health Care.”
“Amen,”chorused another. “So do we go for Medicare or Medicaid next?”
“Ultimately both,' said the minority leader of the Senate. “But we'll have to turn the American people against each in turn just as we turned them against this before we even bring either up as things to undo. We must tread carefully, for both of those have taken root and become ingrained in people's consciousness and so will be much harder to undo, but we will eventually undo all but private sector run Health Care, since that's the only sector that can really do anything right.”
Everyone there raised a glass to that, and the party went on.

Meanwhile,in New York City, a patient was being prepped for heart surgery when the news of the repeal came through. Five minutes after the news came through, the doctor doing the surgery received a phone call. The staff preparing the patient and the patient himself, the single father of three young children, heard the doctor arguing with the person o the phone for some time, although they could not understand the words. Finally, with one last angry shout, the doctor slammed down the receiver and stormed into the operating room.
“Stop the prep,” she said, to everyone's shock. “His insurance says this is a no go.”
“They can't,” protested the man. “The law now says. . .”
The doctor checked her watch.
“As of eight minutes ago, they can,” she said bitterly. “Because that's the time that Congress repealed decent, affordable health care for all ?Americans.”
“But without this surgery I'll die, said the man. “And then who will take care of my babies? I have no family of any kind to take them.”
“Probably the state,” she said with a humorless smile. “The same state that says what your insurance company just did is okey.”

In New Bronswick New Jersey,, a patient was in the midst of a cancer treatment when her insurance company called and canceled her treatment.

Both patients died before the week was out.

“Well,” aid the minority leader of the Senate at a subsequent victory party. “Our business donors have certainly been expressing their appreciation for undoing mandatory medical care providing, and there have been no adverse effects. No one who matters has died or been permanently incapacitated, as SOME predicted, and the voters certainly look to be happy with us come November, at least the ones that matter, and of course the nobodies that do suffer won't be voting if they're dead or unable to function, so overall it is a win-win for all who really matter. Cheers.”
He raised his glass and all drank deeply to his toast.
