ObamaCare for the Birds?

I have a bird feeder and fill it whenever it's empty of seed.  Birds flock to it, literally.  I can fill the feeder with any kind of feed I choose because birds can't argue with me and are helpless to fill the feeder themselves.  I like to think of my filling the feeder as RoboCare.  Since the birds are not obliged to pay for the feed (birds are like the 99% that occupy their parents' basements), they have no feathers in the game.  I can use cheap seeds with little nutritional value, or expensive seeds, but since these birds have little to do with me personally, aside from whistling bird tunes in the nearby trees, I choose the cheap seeds--they have no choice, remember?

A Flying Fish

The analogy is an easy one to see.  My feeder represents the health care industry, I am the government, and the birds are the huddled masses.  The only difference is, there are a couple of birds that are very good at finding their own food (worms, grubs, and other slimy stuff that is bird-nutritious), and these successful birds are despised by the other, less self-sufficient birds.  If this 1% only shared their worms, the other birds would be happy, although the 1% would have fewer worms for tougher times. 


 How different is ObamaCare from my analogy?  Not much.  It is important to keep in mind that the birds getting the free meal every day has lost some of their ability to find food when it will be too cold for me to go out on my terrace to load the feeder.  These 99% ers are going to have it tough in the Canadian winter where it gets too cold to whistle.  Some of them will likely die.


Socialism sounds humane, but it's quite the opposite.  It takes away your incentive, your drive, and lines the pockets of the people at the top of the pile.  ObamaCare is socialism and yes, it's a tax to those who refuse to pay.  Translation: Obama is a liar, but you already knew that.
