I did this cartoon as a result of a story I watched or read the other day……sorry I have been doing a lot of both lately. Anyway, the basics of it were that Healthcare reform needed to be done now and quick….rush…..rush…..rush…..fast….fast…..fast but none of the benefits of all this speed legislating would actually take effect until 2013. Hummmm…..Ok. So maybe someone needs some time to set it up and make sure it's running right but wait. Taxes for the program start immediately…..time out, three years of taxes but no benefits, now that's a big Hummm. Sounds a little like….."Wait….no…..don't say it." Yes folks…..it sounds a little like the beginning of a brand new Super Duper……..Ginormous…….. Bernie Madoff dwarfing……..Ponzi scheme. Anyway, you make your own call on the current state of HealthCare Reform….I'll just keep drawing goofy pictures. I also found a video clip that illustrates what I am saying here perfectly…..check it out. I think you will get a chuckle out of it.

Most people on either side of the issue seem to think that the current health care system is broken, just disagree about how to handle it. While I think a good health reform policy could remove some of the burden from economy, why does it have to take so long for it to go into effect?
Many innocent people are getting hurt by dishonest, lying, and deceiving insurance companies. A CIGNA employee recently gave the finger to a mother who's child just died because CIGNA woulld not treat her, even though she had full coverage. They didn't want to spend the money. Greed! I would like to see 100% socialized medicine immediately. If the doctors, insurance companies, hospitals, big pharmas, and med eqiuip providers can't give up their expensive cars and homes when the bottom falls out of their inflated profits, then they can go to some other country and make a killing. Enough is enough. They won't give up a dime, but the middle class is sure expected to give up everything when their policies are dropped on a whim and the court takes away their homes for medical bills. This is disgraceful. Anyone who supports the present system should have their head, or maybe their heart, examined.
