Satire Alert: "Health Plan Offers Therapy for Obama Fatigue Syndrome"

FINALLY, something to smile about that involves the words "Obama" and "health care reform"!

Ever-reliable satirist Scrappleface strikes again with this: "Health Plan Offers Therapy for Obama Fatigue Syndrome." (Because, hey, the president's about to give another night-time press conference cheerleading for his plan. No, I won't bother watching. Pretty rhetoric and polished delivery will NOT convince me.)

I'm glad that we have the expression "laughter is the best medicine," because if we socialize health care, that'll be the only treatment you can get quickly and reliably without bureaucrats, rationing, long waits, and a bankrupt country. (Heck, even the well-respected Mayo Clinic thinks the Obama health plan is terrible. Ditto the AMA.)

UPDATE: Gentle reader Quite Rightly says that the AMA is now supporting the plan.

Minerva, the AMA recently endorsed the plan and is working with Congress to get it through. Of the state AMA associations, 17 are holding off on endorsement.

Hey, thanks for the update! I wonder how much political wheeling and dealing and pressure went into THAT!
