House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously said "we have to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it."
Unfortunately, it turns out the Democrats had to pass the bill so they could find out what's in it too.
Oh, they knew about the well-documented kickbacks and bribes they'd be receiving, all of which made it into law. But they didn't know that their 2000-page bill fails to give promised coverage to kids with pre-existing illnesses. They didn't know that their bill lacks the $10 billion in funding the IRS will need to monitor every American for "health insurance compliance."
And they didn't know that the healthcare bill will help fund medications like Viagra for convicted sex offenders. Of course, they know now...and have specifically voted in favor of keeping the "performance enhancing drugs" flowing.
To paraphrase the great political philosopher and screen comedian Oliver Hardy: "This is another fine print mess you've gotten us into!"
Guess if all the sex offenders have Viagra, there will be no children left to need to cover under the plan.

All it does is prove what the bill's true intent was...and it was NOT to help children or the poor. Wake up America! Obama DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!!!!! "Obamacare" is the definition of oxymoron....
I have NEVER understood why we buy viagra or rogaine for prisoners.
ReplyDeleteOr anyone else, for that matter...
Suzy & Pete- Basically, this falls under the president's "No child's behind left" plan.
ReplyDeleteNot to defend child molesters or rapists, but the term "sex offender" has been warped to the point that it is worthless. Child molesters and rapists should not be free (or alive) to need viagra, but how about the man who while in college got drunk and was caught peeing in an alley? He is a sex offender in many states.
ReplyDeleteChris- We'd agree that alley-peeing isn't even vaguely a "sex offense" (as long as the perpetrator was facing a wall, and the wall was of consenting age). Rather that being given a "sex offender" label, a first time offender should be given a dunce cap and adult diapers.
ReplyDeleteOh my word, the comments....good thing I don't like coffee....my keyboard is safe.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't forget. They're setting up for the next round of "necessary health care reform bills," which of course will receive much less fanfare but will be exponentially more diabolical much like how college textbooks include mistakes so that they can issue the next edition and force students & colleges to pay through the ear to get them. The people will soon demand that their Obamacare should start covering things left & right.
