U.S. Health Plan Humor
Some quotes from American humorists on the subject:
"President Obama says he will not support a health-care plan where the government gets to decide whether to, quote, 'pull the plug on Grandma.' Apparently, Obama's plan calls for the much quicker pillow option."
-- Conan O'Brien
"The health care bill was introduced yesterday. It's 1,990 pages long and costs $894 billion dollars. Or $2.2 million per word. That makes them the most expensive words to come out of Washington since 'Mission Accomplished.'"
-- Jimmy Fallon
"The healthcare reform bill now includes a tanning booth tax of 10 percent. You know what this means? This whole thing could be funded by the cast of 'Jersey Shore.'"
-– Jay Leno
"The health care overhaul will extend coverage to 30 million people who are uninsured, or, as Walmart calls them, employees."
–- Jimmy Fallon
"President Obama says that Congress is very close to getting a new health care plan, but due to compromises, it 'won't include everything that everybody wants.' For instance, it covers everything except trips to the doctor or the hospital."
-- Conan O'Brien
