Isn’t life grand? Those without insurance can’t afford to get sick and the elderly are going to die anyway, so who cares?

They can do what the senior citizens near the Mexican border do. Instead of those “gambling busses” that go to Vegas, they hop on busses to go across the border and load up on medications to smuggle back in. It’s a sad day when people have to break the law to get medication they need to survive.

But what about the revenue that all those poor American pharmaceutical companies are losing? And what about all of the poor politicians who could lose that oh-so-important lobby money from the pharmaceutical companies if profits declined? It’s bad enough that the UN and WHO want to weaken drug patent laws so that Third World countries can produce cheap generic drugs to fight global epidenics of AIDS and typhus and malaria. How can you even dare to compare the importance of the Bottom Line to the trivial significance of a few million lives? Piffle. How un-American, how un-Patriotic of you.

(Okay, I can’t keep my tongue in my cheek that long.. it hurts! SNERK!)
