The Obama administration today announced a sustained, national campaign against the uninsured, one that will go far beyond retaliation against the perpetrators of insurance terrorism in the United States.
U.S. President Barack Obama said the campaign would become the driving force of his presidency, and other top officials described a methodical unleashing of United States health insurers likely to unfold not in a single, retaliatory spasm but in repeated strikes aimed at destroying bases of the uninsured terrorists and the communities that harbor them.
In a break from his usually conciliatory tone, Mr. Obama declared all 47 million uninsured Americans to be terrorists and enemy combatants who will be dealt with in the strictest manner possible. “We will hunt down the uninsured terrorists and provide them with ObamaCare™ Government Health Insurance Plans. If they resist, we will intern them in specially designed Health Camps until they come around to our point of view,” said Mr. Obama.
While most political and health commentators were expecting expedited legislation to provide health insurance to all Americans, few were expecting Mr. Obama to use his the War powers of the Presidency to enforce his vision for America.
“President Obama pledged to provide health insurance to all. I am ecstatic he is following through,” said CNN Analyst Ronald Martin.
Republican leaders vowed to fight against this new policy. House Majority Leader John Boehner pledged to fight the designation of uninsured Americans as terrorists and enemy combatants. “President Obama has once again shown his partisan nature and we will not take this sitting down,” he said.
Almost 47 million Americans are said to be without health insurance coverage at some point during any calendar. Legislators from both parties are proposing plans to provide some sort of insurance coverage for all Americans.
