I’m sure you’ve seen those TV ads for prescription drugs that are offered to treat a relatively minor problem, but then come with a long list of nasty side effects that make one wonder why anybody would take that drug. The prescription seems far worse than the disease.
To put it in a nutshell, ObamaCare is rather like Saturday Night Live’s “Happy Fun Ball.” It isn’t FUN like Happy Fun Ball, of course, but it does have that same list of toxic and deadly side effects that just goes on and on.
A dramatic re-enactment of the SNL Happy Fun Ball commercial:
Happy Fun Ball, fun as it was, had just a few side effects:
Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball.
Caution: Happy Fun Ball may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds.
Happy Fun Ball Contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.
Do not use Happy Fun Ball on concrete.
Discontinue use of Happy Fun Ball if any of the following occurs:
Itching
Vertigo
Dizziness
Tingling in extremities
Loss of balance or coordination
Slurred speech
Temporary blindness
Profuse sweating
Heart palpitationsIf Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.
Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin.
When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration…
Failure to do so relieves the makers of Happy Fun Ball, Wacky Products Incorporated, and its parent company Global Chemical Unlimited, of any and all liability.
Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.
Happy Fun Ball has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is also being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq.
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
Happy Fun Ball comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Happy Fun Ball
ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!
We have to worry about ObamaCare exploding, too, and taking our entire economy and society out with it. ObamaCare will definitely accelerate to dangerous costs. And we all KNOW it’s dangerous to taunt ObamaCare.
Heritage figured out that ObamaCare needed it’s own Happy Fun Ball sendoff-style commercial:
Here’s some of the ObamaBall side effects:
- Job loss
- Higher premiums
- Higher costs
- Higher taxes
- Medicare cuts
- Medicaid expansion
- Losing the plan you like
- Special backroom deals
- Small business penalties
- Denial of pre-existing conditions (until 2014, even for kids)
- Future government rationing
- Investment penalties
- Loss of state authority
- Higher deficits
- Higher debt
- Individual mandates with penalties
Kind of puts the side effects of Happy Fun Ball to shame, if you ask me.
Heritage has quite a bit more on the side effects of ObamaCare.
I’m sure you can’t wait to “bounce” through the 159 new federal agencies ObamaBall creates, or to ping-and-pong off the 16,500 new IRS agents ObamaBall will send reigning down on you.
That’s the kind of “fun” that ObamaBall promises.
