Medicare Part G under Trump

[Omaha Steve]

From an email.

Medicare Part G

If you are an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of
yourself and need Long-Term Care, but the government says there is no
Nursing Home care available for you, what do you do?

You may opt for Medicare Part G.

The plan gives anyone 75 or older a gun (Part G) and one bullet. You
may then shoot one worthless politician. This means you will be sent
to prison for the rest of your life where you will receive three meals
a day, a roof over your head, central heating and air conditioning,
cable TV, a library, and all the health care you need. Need new
teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That’s great. Need a hearing aid,
new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or heart? They are all
covered!

As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often
as they do now!

And, who will be paying for all of this? The same government that
just told you they can't afford for you to go into a nursing home.

And you will get rid of a useless politician while you are at it.

And now, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any more
income taxes!

Is this a great country or what?

Now that you have solved your senior Long-Term Care problem, go enjoy
the weekend!

1. Best plan I've read about all week.

[Heartstrings]

2. Think I may need to spend some time at the shooting range....

[Omaha Steve]

11. I see you have been practicing

[Heartstrings]

12. Truth be told...

I've shot a gun once in my life, I was 5 years old and it knocked me on my butt! So target practice would direly be needed....

3. While I do appreciate the cynical humor, it is getting harder for me

to enjoy it because they republicans are dead serious about destroying Social Security and Medicare.

I don't watch Saturday Night Live anymore

4. Since guns are involved

The freedumb caucus may get on board with this.

5. Seems like a good option.

[rurallib]

6. Isn't that kind of what Mulvaney said?

if you want universal health care, go to prison.

7. Why only one bullet? What if I miss?

I'm 75. I may need a few rounds.

8. Too funny. I wish this would go viral.

Might make our useless Congress critters think twice before messing with our lives.

9. Sarcasm and irony may amuse but do not solve our problems.

With each passing day the body politic of this nation drifts further from its moorings. Late-Enlightenment principles of reason and protocols of discourse slipped below the distant horizon and are no longer self-evident. We find ourselves in uncharted waters.

10. Sign me up.

[Wounded Bear]

13. Might be self defeating...

I suspect that more Repub congresscritters would be shot than Dems.
