Ben Franklin once shared a story about a crazy Frenchman who had an odd way of welcoming English tourists to Paris. He would speak with effusive correctness to them while holding a fireplace poker with a red hot tip in his right hand. He'd say Monsieur Anglais, would you kindly allow me to shove the tip of this up your backside. The Englishman would inevitably say something like "Zounds! (Because that was a word back then) I'll break your head if you come near me with that!" The Frenchman would then say "Fine, but at the very least you are obligated to pay me for heating it up!"
This was a story originally told in reference to how the Stamp Act worked. It is much more true when considering Obamacare.
Meanwhile, this is the new reality of healthcare.
