Pajama Boy To The Rescue!

Obama and company know that if they don't attract a bunch of healthy young people under the age of 35 into the health exchanges, the premiums for ObamaCare's insurance policies will literally go through the roof.  So, to attract the youth-class of America into their health care scheme, they decided to create a "face" of ObamaCare that every person under the age of 35 could relate to.  Enter "Pajama Boy:

Looking like a barely post pubescent Woody Allen,  Pajama Boy is all warm in cozy in his favorite footy, flap-back and zippered-up PJ's that he's owned since he was 16.  His mom has taken such good care of all of his clothes!  Now 27, jobless, still living with mommy and daddy, he's been booted off their health insurance plan and has to man-up and find some of his own.  Luckily, there is the ObamaCare website. So, after awaking just after noon on the day that this picture was taken, mommy fixed him his favorite breakfast: OJ and Cap'n Crunch.

He then spent the next two hours trying to navigate the ObamaCare website and eventually found out that, because he was unemployed, he was automatically enrolled in Medicaid.  WOW!  Free, taxpayer-paid healthcare!  So excited, he ran and told mom and, in celebration, she whipped up a batch of hot cocoa (as seen in the picture).  Life was good again. On finishing his cocoa, he was so exhausted  he literally had to go back to bed.  In a world according to Pajama Boy, PJ's have to work double time.

Of course, what Pajama Boy doesn't understand is that the doctors and hospitals who typically serve Medicaid patients are primarily located in the most economically depressed areas of our cities.  Looking at his leather-strapped wrist watch and leather couch, my guess is that, in order to get his healthcare,  he's going to have to drag his lily-white, upper-suburban-class ass to some pretty seedy areas of whatever urban area he lives in.  But, even if he didn't get signed up for Medicaid, it appears that the same doctors who are willing to accept underpayment for their services from Medicaid are those also willing to participate in the ObamaCare exchanges.  That's why so many people, who have been forced to sign up, can't keep their doctors or their hospitals.

The reality is that most young, healthy people are not going to sign up for ObamaCare if they have to pay any substantial amount for their premiums.  They'll just pay the penalty (Oh, sorry, its not a penalty, its a tax.).   That's because they know that, even if they do get sick, they can just sign up for insurance that same day because no insurer can deny them insurance for any pre-existing condition.  Also, no hospital that takes Medicare can refuse to treat them regardless of whether or not they have the ability to pay or are even covered by any insurance.  That's been the case since 1986 when Reagan signed into law the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act.  In fact, the law goes on to state that no one, whether a U.S. citizen or not, can be denied treatment.  That's why our emergency rooms are so clogged up with illegal aliens needing medical care.
