WASHINGTON, DC – Today, President Barack Hussein Obama signed into law a temporary stop-gap measure combining his raging desire for socialized medicine in the United States with the amazingly popular and well-implemented “Cash for Clunkers” program, dubbed simply “Cash for Colons”. The gimmick with this program is simple, Americans will finally be able to make some money by turning in their old, inefficient colons for newer, more food-efficient models at their local doctor’s office or health clinic.
“This is a historic moment, indeed,” said President Soetoro, beaming quietly to himself as he twirled his official “Bill Signing Pen” between his fingers. “It was sheer genius on my part in that I combined the country’s need for health care reform with the expertly thought-out Cash for Clunkers program. Now, we can finally get those old colons off to the side of the road and let the newer, more functional colons lead us into a new age of unprecedented prosperity.”
Already, doctors are bracing for the tremendous spike in demand, purchasing new colons off the black market and from third-world organ vendors at various selected synagogues in New Jersey.
“This is going to really boost our business,” said Dr. Melvin Weinstein, who runs a small organ transplant facility near East Orange, New Jersey. “Colon transplants are going to be all the rage as all those unemployed American workers rush to sell off their old ones to raise a couple of bucks. In turn, we can re-sell the old colons to people in the third world for an excellent mark-up.”
Rascal Tymmerman, the first person to undergo the procedure at his local Van Nuys, California, doctor’s office, was all smiles. “This new colon feels like a million bucks! I’ll be able to clog it with all kinds of trashy food before dinner, so then I’ll feel right at home. Besides, the doc paid me $75 for it! What a deal! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to grab some drive-thru food and pound a case of Michelob Lite before nightfall. Ta!”
While others are skeptical about the new program, they were systematically rounded up and sent off to a concentration camp somewhere in the Arizona desert.
Aren’t government and medicine a great combo, folks?
