But in Indiana, when I made Medicare the butt of my jokes, everyone laughed. Why aren’t people laughing?
Wait, what? Republican candidates are feigning support for “Medicare for All” to trick voters into voting for them?
Never mind.
Pretty scary for GOPers who have been trying to take away people’s healthcare…
Just so we’re all on the same page here: CMS is the government agency that manages Medicare and Medicaid. The head of Medicare is making this ‘joke’.
Personally, I find this one terrifying:
Wear nice dark suit, mount a calculator on your belt, carry a brief case with a sticker saying Blue Cross Actuary (or Aetna, or whatever). Scariest halloween costume ever. They’ll ask you to leave.
