Obamacare Plunges To New Lows: Presenting DogeCare

Tyler Durden's picture




 

First it was frat bros, then it was sluts, then it was Richard Simmons. Now, that the doge meme has arrived, Obamacare marketing desperation has just sunk to unfathomable lows. This is almost as bad as the Joseph A Bank vs Men's Wearhouse M&A equivalent of the Jerry Springer show.

For the dumbfounded, Marketwatch explains.

The famous, or infamous depending on your viewpoint, “Doge” meme, featuring the picture of a dog with captions indicating he thinks in broken English, was borrowed by HHS in the above photo and put out over the agency’s Facebook page.

 

So instead of the “So scare” and “What r your doing?”  that we see on the original Doge, the HHS version says “Much affordable,” “Many coverage” and “So health insurance.”

 

That promptly elicited groans from those who visited. One mocked the broken English with: “Much desperate. Very pandering. Wow.” Another said: “I’ll need that healthcare because I just got cancer from this.” The lion’s share of those who commented were similarly unflattering.

One can only imagine how horrendous the sign up stats for the all imporant young demographic must be for the administration to have to resort to this.

I detect sarcasm but I'm not sure.

If it is sarcasm +1.

If it isn't sarcasm I prescribe:  two weeks of research into Internet memes, the futility of voting, one can of Alpo.

The ACA is already chasing a good number of physicians [certainly only a minority, mainly at the margins, but there's already a shortage], especially specialists, out the game.  You're going to see your better and more established physicians going cash only, or accepting, in practice, only wealthy patients with cadillac plans.  Small offices will really struggle to comply.  All predictable, but who knows the field of medicine better than the insurance lobbyists who wrote the ACA as a nice cash grab?

So maybe they're mentally preparing us for some kind of ACA for household pets?

Rich dogs will be fine, poor dogs, possibly better off, but as always, it will be the middle class dogs that get truly fucked.

You Americans had better be carefull. History shows that when socialists cannot convince the citizens to do something voluntarily, they'll start to use force to convince them. Obama and co. are so narcissistic and arogant they'll never admit they're wrong.

Watch for the Obama administration to set an example or two, to scare everyone into applying for their Obamacare (for their own good, of course).

You anti-socialists better be careful.

When you keep mistaking Fascism and calling it Socialism, the Fascists will be unchallenged.

Veterinary schools report overload of applicants. applications up 2000% for 2014. They will be the only Dr.s with cash practices in 2016.  Human patients: entrance around back.

Veterinary care for dogs, including specialist care (I have experience with old rescued dogs who have needed neurologists, orthopedists, opthamologists, gastroenterologists, dermatologists), is one tenth or less the cost of comparable human health care.

BECAUSE THERE IS NO INSURANCE INVOLVED*

(*yes, I know there is are ridiculous economically-irrational animal health insurance policies for people who can't budget, but they cover very little and so don't jack up prices like human health insurance does)(yes, yes, I also give to starving/sick human charities too, so i don't go straight to hell after dying)

Socialism requires the people own the means of production therefore this isn't any kind of socialism.

This is Fascism, a ghost-bailout of the insurance companies. And if you refuse it's automatically a tax hike with no regard to your level of income, a flat tax upon merely being a citizen of the USSA.

It's genius.
