The Elderberries by Corey Pandolph and Phil Frank and Joe Troise for January 05, 2014

AMAZING!!! Drawn over 7 years ago. If only it could be updated using “ACA” instead of “Medicare.”

Our guvermint at its finist.

I have been on Medicare for five years, including one hospital stay, two emergency room visits, one by ambulance, three prescription drugs taken daily, and the usual doctor visits. I can report no problems, just great service, and a general feeling of confidence in the system.And, in ten years, the ACA will be the same. Medicare was a mess when it began, and in ten years ACA will be as good as Medicare, which has an almost 90% approval rating among those using it. That’s when the Republicans will be pointing out that Obamacare was actually a Republican idea, which, unlike most Republican talking points is pretty close to being the truth.

I am on medicare and it seems like my HMO changes every 2 years. Now they want to limit drugs – that is anti American!

Well, you have to admit its simple. They take our money. They deny our coverage. We have no recourse; the law says we have to buy the coverage, not that they have to cover us.

It’s genocide. It’s the American way.

Neither of which brought you the Newspeak-named “Affordable Care Act.”

This link will allow you to download an amazing diagram of the ACA.

It makes today’s cartoon look childishly simple.
