Surviving Nationalized Health Care

Surviving our new Nationalized Health Care

Getting all medical for Dad.

I got the call from Dad. "Son, I'm on the government website, trying to sign up for Obamacare, and I go to Live Chat, and I tell the woman, I was told that I need to have my prostate screamed, and she just laughs at me!

'Where do I go to get my prostate screamed?' I kept asking her, but she just kept laughing at me. . . How am I supposed to get my prostate screamed, when government workers are so thick and brutal like this? C'mon, can't we have a process that is a little bit more sensitive to my needs?"

So I went over to see Dad. Dad, he looks serious, like he's needing the medical care RIGHT NOW, you know? So I texted up all the boys, to see what can we do for Dad? Polio, he's one smart guy. He's got a medical book. Thank God! So Polio says he thinks he can do the surgery, if we can just hold Dad still on Bart's pool table. No problem! Consider it done. Help is on the way Dad!

Screw the Government Health Care, and all their red tape! We're all adults. We can do this ourselves. We're resourceful. We do that for each other, you know. God, I just love these guys; always making sacrifices like this for each other. Polio is doing this surgery for my Dad, and for only a cold beer, no less! That's just how we are. Brothers. We take care of each other like that.

Polio said the book told him that we are going to need some rubbers, some sutras, and some cotton compresses. Personally, I thought it was kinda strange that Polio didn't have his own rubbers, you know?, but he's sort of a nerd, and this ain't really the time to be debating personal questions back and forth. So I got those, and I got a call into the local Buddhist temple to get us some good sutras.

Then, I called Wal-Mart, and Rosie there is getting me a pair of new cotton coveralls in Polio's size. No problemo! Polio, he's a plumber's assistant, so he can use them overalls after the surgery is over too. That's what I call a win-win. Yes Sir!

Dad's looking better, since I told him that I worked it out, and me and my boys are going to have his prostrate screaming like never before soon.
