Dear Chuck and Dave,
That’s some creative team you’ve got working for you there. Yeah, some creativity coursing through their little minds. No wonder you guys are such a potent political force with such creativity ready to be called upon at a moment’s notice.
Take this Generation Opportunity campaign targeted at young, healthy people—especially college students--in an effort to convince them to opt out of Obamacare. Stroke of genius, that. Obamcare needs young, healthy, low Obamacare-usage people in the income pool to offset the costs of paying for all the healthcare for older and much younger, not as healthy, high-Obamacare usage people. Problem is, you overlooked one tiny but ever so critical detail. You targeted young people—many of them college students--and by and large, young college students are in their early 20s. Under Obamacare, these young people don’t have to opt out of anything because they will already be covered under their parents’ Obamacare health plans until they are 26. What’s that Mr. President? The President just said, “Checkmate.”
And have you checked the statistics, fellas? Young people are more prone to drive fast and recklessly so they get into more serious auto accidents…where they would need healthcare coverage to pay their medical bills. Young people engage in contact sports like football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, soccer, and rugby. Young athletes get hurt, they get concussions, they need medical attention which would be paid for by…Obamacare. Ever watch “Jackass” or see the movies? Young people love to emulate these stunts because young people like to prove their indestructibility and immortality by performing stupid and potentially lethal stunts. The ERs are full of these young people and Obamacare will pay their bills. Young people—especially college students—like to drink alcohol—a lot. And when they’re drunk they may drive fast and recklessly, engage in contact sports, and perform “Jackass” stunts. And you want them to feed off their self-image of indestructibility and immortality and opt out of Obamacare under your imposed delusion that they don’t need it? Granted, not all young people are this prone to serious injury but enough of them potentially sure as hell are.
Is there no bottom to your sociopathic callousness and greed? I think that if we keep digging, we’ll reach China long before we hit bottom with you guys.
Sincerely,
Mr. Liberal
