User blog comment:TurtleShroom/What Hath (real world) Congress Wrought? Well, on the bright side... PERHAPS MORE PARODIES!/@comment-113335-20091109024537

Exact opposite. You pay heaps of tax money for healthcare, you're mandated to buy it no matter who you are, and the middle class will buy a template that best suits them, while the poor get a one-size-fits-all Public Option. Everyone gets health insurance, but no one gets great health insurance.

Think of the private health insurance "templates" as car packages. One severe surgery and Medicare come standard, let's say.

Do you have a psychiatrist or take a lot of medication? Choose the template that covers it. Do you get a lot of surgery? Get a template that covers extra surgery. There will be the perfect plan for someone, and a nightmare for others. These templates are written for a large chunk of Americans per item. Expect millions to share your template. No one gets unique insurance tailored straight to them alone.


 * As they say: T.L.;D.R.: It's like buying a car, you get standards and pick options. The Public option is basic and one size fits all.

For now, we get to keep our doctor, but at a price. Our insurance are now templates. Our doctors must take culture and linguistic competence courses and must pass new tests to be doctors.


 * However, there are some bright sides.


 * ONE. The bill must first pass the Senate before reaching Dear Leader's desk.


 * TWO. There is a maximum to what you can pay out of your pocket at any time, but no maximum to what your template must pay to cover you.


 * THREE. If they pass it, the Americans who opposed it will get their revenge and vote those villains out of Congress. We'll win eventually.


 * FOUR. I'll get to write a parody of that villain (or Democrat, can't tell) with too much plastic surgery, Nancy Pelosi.


 * FIVE. Your template can never drop you if you get sick.


 * SIX. We get to keep our doctor....... for now.


 * SEVEN: These PWNsome buttons will actually be purchased.

P.S.: I am currently unaware whether you can change a template once you get it, or if you're stuck until you change jobs or meet requirements to swap tempaltes.
