A Parable of How America got Obamacare

You want to go on a trip. You think Hawaii would be great. It’s beautiful and sunny and warm. Lots of people go there.

Your wife says no, no, no, it’s too expensive, and you’ll never get a hotel room. You say, I need a vacation. She says, you do not. Vacations are stupid.

Finally she says, okay, you need a vacation? Let’s go to Alaska. I really want to go to Alaska. I LOVE Alaska.

You book your trip to Alaska, really glad that she finally agreed.  You really didn’t want to go to Alaska, but you compromised, like a good husband.  You put up the money, which is non-refundable, and anticipate your trip.

Then she leaves you.

You go to Alaska by yourself. You think, so what if that b—- left me! I’m gonna have a good time.

Your ship gets locked into the ice and starts to sink. You tell the Captain, are you kidding me?!

He says, what kind of idiot would book a trip to Alaska anyway?

And that is how America got Obamacare.
