Cash for Cadavers
By John | September 20, 2009
If you believe “cash for clunkers” was a success, you should be even more enthusiastic about this next idea.
The objective of the Obama Administration is to enact new health care legislation, bringing “free” health care to everyone, while not increasing costs or negatively impacting the economy.
You have heard that most of the cost of health care is incurred in the last couple of years of life. So if we could just lop off a couple of years from everyone’s life, just think of the savings!
So, how do we accomplish that? Well, we just need a little incentive. If we could pay $4,500 to retire cars early, why not $4,500 to retire people early? Turn Granny into a clunker, so to speak.
I know what you’re going to say. When Government death panels were proposed before, people balked. But the problem, as I see it, is that the program was not properly sold.
So here’s the sales pitch: Granny’s getting long in the tooth. She’s not going to last much longer. And while she keeps going, she’s not just costing the government for her health care, she’s spending my inheritance! The alternative - I turn her over to the government “End of Life Planning Committee” or whatever they are going to call it, the government sends me a “Cash-for-Cadavers” check, a funeral home gets a stimulus payment, the economy gets a boost, and I get to keep my inheritance! And Granny? She’s old. She’ll never know what hit her. Everyone wins!
So write your congressman today. Demand that he support “Cash-for-Cadavers” legislation. Your inheritance may depend on it.
