More obfuscation from our favorite auctioneer: ala carte health insurance

In response to the Obama's state of the union speech this past January, Long said, "We should also allow more flexibility in how insurance plans are structured so that people are not forced to buy insurance for conditions that they don't want to have covered."

Ah jeez, ala carte health insurance."Why heck,Roy, you don't gotta go to Canada to get a new hip, I know a guy who can get you one wholesale."

I can see it now, the auctioneer talking to his insurance agent:

Let's see, give me two testicular cancers cause I got 2 of them puppies, don't need the ovary insurance.

I sure as heck don't need OB-GYN coverage either.

oh,oh, give me throat coverage, I will need coverage on my throat, you know, sore throat, strep throat, tonsillitis, lymph gland, you know, I talk a lot and my voice is my fortune.

I don't think I'll need breast cancer coverage, men don't have breasts.

And I don't want no prostrate coverage either, I ain't taking this one lying down, I mean to tell you ain't nobody going up there! I ain't no swisher!

Let's see, let's make it a high deductible and uh, be sure to tell my wife how much the premiums are because she writes the checks in our house.

Oh, say, do you offer knee and hip replacements? I'm a big man and I might need some of those, Roy was worried about getting his hip replaced and if Roy is worried about it, then I am too. Yeah, I might need some of that.

Hot diggity dog, I almost forgot, give me some of that stroke insurance too. Why them Ekersley boys was trying to stroke me out this summer, I'm big old fat boy. I want some of that there stroke insurance too, yeah, ok.

Throw in some skin cancer coverage too.

Say, if I buy the stroke insurance, do I get sun stroke for free?

Uh, yes, I do have a preferred physician. Dr. Scott.
