2. You do know he's a comedian, right?

Another article from the http://borowitzreport.com/">Borowitz Report:

Miss California Vows to Use Her Naked Breasts for Good
Fight Against Gay Marriage Will Be ‘Tireless, Topless'

Just moments after being told she could retain her beauty pageant crown, Miss California Carrie Prejean renewed her commitment to her mission, telling reporters, "From this day forward I promise I will use my naked breasts for good."

Ms. Prejean blasted the critics whom she claimed tried to silence her for her views on gay marriage, saying, "I intend to fight back with the two greatest weapons I have: my naked boobies."

4. Really? What parts are true?

That the medical industry released its draft proposal for a plan that would include a $2 trillion deductible?

Requiring a mandatory full-body CAT Scan for all Americans over the age of 12?

Creating a 50,000 square-foot "national waiting room"?

Or a pharmaceutical plan that consists of a plane ticket to Canada.?

6. the truth? That we're going to get royally screwed

in the end. And 2 Trillion may or may not be the right amount, but this is all about
bailing out the insurance companies as more people lose jobs and lose company paid for insurance plans.

I didn't bust your chops because it happens to all of us, don't worry about it. I actually enjoyed reading and re-reading his stuff. :)

And I can personally testify that when it comes to health care, many of us have already been screwed.
