Cash for Codgers: a Practical, Final Solution to the Health Care Crisis

A new government website called codgers.gov was introduced earlier today. The "Cash for Codgers" proposal aims to repair the Democrats' image problems related to health care while simultaneously expanding upon the "Cash for Clunkers" program.


 

The site explains the basic appeal of the program.

In order to address public concern with the federal government's proposals for health care reform and building upon the success of the popular "Cash for Clunkers" program, the Obama administration is proud to announce "Cash for
Codgers".

Each senior in your household (aged 65 or above) may be turned for a $4,500 instant cash reward at a conveniently located Senior Turn-In Center near you.

Each Senior will be disposed of humanely, using an intravenous drip consisting of a saline, morphine, short-acting barbiturate and a chemical paralytic solution. This saves the Social Security Administration and Medicare from spending between $40,000 to $80,000 for an average end-of-life treatment.

President Obama praised the proposal, calling it an "elegant and humane way to solve the health care crisis, Medicare spending deficits and the 'overwhelming number of right-wing zealots' who are seniors -- all at the same time!"

That David Axelrod is a genius!
