The Australian Senior health care solution

So you're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is

no nursing home available for you - what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You

are allowed to shoot 2 MP's and 2 Ministers - not necessarily dead!

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get

3 meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, and all the

health care you need! New teeth - no problem. Need glasses, great.

New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered. (And your kids

can come and visit you as often as they do now).

And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that

just told you that you they cannot afford for you to go into a home.

Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income

taxes anymore.

IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?

This may be the only way to get Health Care in Obama-land if Obama-care becomes a reality. They have even taken the military retire's health care away - no need for it anymore. Ba hum bug!!!

Saw on the news it costs 64k/year, minimum, to incarcerate a sexual predator. WTFF?! Confused

Wouldn't cost a nickle if I had anything to do with it.

I'd spend every dime we waste on coddling scumbags and give it to the elderly and vets instead- directly, by mail, no 'programs' or middle-men.

Bet there'd be half as many prisoners, or less, in one year if we brought back old school Folsom style lock-up. THAT, I gaurantee you.

Tell me this don't mean what it sounds like Slim !!!

Does this mean that the retired Veterans, who have done the hard yards for their country, are no longer covered by any sort of Govt Health Care Scheme for service related injuries/illnesses/conditions?
Mad

For the sake of all of the Veterans in the US, I sincerely hope this is NOT the case. Crying or Very sad

Off course they are covered .... with the new Obamacare! Oops, I see your point - they really won't be covered.
