Wow, this almost reads like a fairly decent list poem at times. If only it had ended on a better line than that "Obamacare is like kale" stinker...

“The insurance companies are creating their own tombs. Much like the Jews boarding the trains to concentration camps, private insurers are used by the feds to put the system in place because the federal government has no way to set up the exchange.” — Idaho state Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll

Obamacare is a sharknado.
I can only hope that someday my work is described as a sharknado.

Yeah, saulgoodman, I was thinking that with a better ending this would rival some of my favorite Walt Whitman passages.

I always read the "obamacare" when used in a scary way as people saying, "blackmancare."

It's an understandable confusion, agregoli. Parts of the US did try using a (government approved) extensive system of Black people to care for their needs, but it didn't work out very well, to say the least. Some of the people against the ACA do seem to have problems separating the program from that previous system.

This is so stupid. People need to move on. Was there this much backlash with Medicare being implemented?

Did anyone else hear this in their mind's ear in a hyper-exaggerated slam poetry voice using lots of dramatic pauses and creative intonations? Delightful.
