Former New York Times op-ed writer, economist and pundit, Paul Krugman, died today of complications from an infected ingrown toenail. Mr. Krugman, who was born in 1953, had just celebrated his 65th birthday.

Unfortunately, under the onerous provisions of the 2010 Universal Health Care Act, passed in the last year of the truncated Obama Administration, over half of the country’s physicians have abandoned the practice of medicine and care of patients. Most retired, cycled into pure research or found other occupations. Consequently, the increased wait times for patients to see a doctor for even the most serious conditions – in some cases up to 36 months – can run to 72 months for relatively minor health problems.

A family member – who wished to remain anonymous lest she be put on the “Do Not Treat List” at the Department of Death and Inhuman Services — declared that if his infection had been treated more promptly, Mr. Krugman, who was in otherwise good health, would have survived. Unfortunately, Mr. Krugman was over the cut-off age of 60 when the infection struck. Patients over 60 are listed on the “Non-Critical Condition List,” throwing them into the 72 month wait category.

Under the newly enacted Food Conservation and Recycling Act, his body was taken immediately to the Roosevelt Island Soylent Green processing facility.

Obamacare continues the scheme of taking money from those who pay for insurance and funneling it to lawmakers and their families. Lots and lots of money funneling will flow to politicians and their buddies (those lucky enough to have politically protected CAT/MRI scanning centers and labs doing blood tests) through inflated reimbursements.

Everyday is Christmas for these politicians.

The foreign occupier and his horde are a menace to our nation and damn near everyone living here.
