Get Your Health Care From The DMV

Truth is stranger than fiction:

The most revelatory passage in the so-called “plain English” version of the health care bill that the Senate Finance Committee approved on Tuesday (without ever drafting the actual legislative language) says that in the future Americans will be offered the convenience of getting their health insurance at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

This is no joke. If this bill becomes law, it will be the duty of the U.S. secretary of health and human services or the state governments overseeing federally mandated health-insurance exchanges to ensure that you can get your health insurance at the DMV.

You do not get food at the DMV. You do not even get auto insurance at the DMV. But under what The Associated Press inaptly calls the Finance Committee’s “middle-of-the-road health care plan,” you will get health insurance at the DMV.

What will the DMV and health care have in common if this bill is enacted? Government will control both.

Rush Limbaugh comments:

From a Democrat point of view, it's actually pretty brilliant because you can also register to vote at the same DMV or you can change your registration at the DMV. So you can go in for your federally mandated insurance and change your registration to Democrat and get the best coverage. You go in and register for health and they'll find out what political party you're a member of. You think it might affect the way you're going to be treated at the DMV?

Does anyone actually believe this will be a good thing?

There's my two cents.
