Obamacare again

Connie and I went to Wal-Mart today to pick up a prescription and buy some last minute stocking stuffers.  While waiting for the prescription to be filled I decided to again check my blood pressure.  You may remember the problem I had the last time with the new testing equipment and its digital display.  It was no better this time.  I placed my arm in the BP cuff and pushed the start button.  The same thing that happened the last time happened again.  The thing tried to get me to sign up for Obamacare!!!  This time you could tell the system was in a state of desperation.  It promised me that if I signed up at once for the cheapest plan that I would get a “partridge in a pear tree” as a bonus..

Since I could sense the machines desperation since this was the last day (in the original plan) to sign up.  I decided to attempt to negotiate.  I countered, asking for ten Lords-a-leaping and eight maids-a-milking at the very least.  The display blinked a couple of times and made some counter offers.  We finally agreed that I would get three French hens and two turtle doves along with the partridge in a pear tree if I enrolled right now.  So I signed up.

The digital display again blinked a couple of times and then spelled out that since I had successfully signed up for Obama care I was ELIGIBLE to enter a lottery for the three French hens, the doves and the partridge after I had run up the $10,000 deductable that my plan called for..  I tried to object but the screen flashed a message that read,

 “If you like this crap, you can keep this crap”. 

 Then the system went down.

Have a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.
