A Parable of Obamacare

And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from the American Congress that all the country must buy medical insurance.

And this taxing was first made when Obama reigneth with the Democrats. Then the Republicans waxed envious that none of their own forty plans, however Marxist, profiteth them. Woe unto any party in the minority, for it hath no more power than it doth principle.

And all went to buy insurance, under penalty of unconstitutional law if they refused.

And Joseph also went up from his home, out of his suburb, into the city, unto the insurance company, which is called Blue Cross, for he was a citizen and Leviathan’s serf. To be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

But under Obamacare, more easily doth a camel go through the eye of a needle than a baby enter into the world. For the rulers had schemed to enrich themselves, saying, Let go, let us tax cosmetic surgery, for everyone knows only rich, white women choose such vanities. And they judged it “elective.” Then, behold, how many more procedures the National Health Board, the Health Czar, and the CDC declareth “elective” for sake of the treasury. For what is more elective than childbirth? Cannot a couple prevent it? And if they doth not, Obamacare also covereth abortion, which is far cheaper than bearing the fetus.
