How to Save Health Care Reform: Teabagger-friendly Re-Branding

The Health Care vote in the house was close. And it still needs to pass the Senate. Poor branding, such as the term Public Option, didn’t help the cause.  But it’s not too late to win the support of  Republican enemies and the Teabaggers who control them.  I submit  a list of re-branding alternatives that will have Obamacare foes supporting health care reform faster than you can say Death Panels! Vote on which one will have the Teabaggers Teabagging for reform.

  • The Private Option
  • The Keep the Government out of my Medicare/ Medicaid Option
  • The Eternal Life Panels Option
  • The “This Option Kills Commies” Option
  • The “This Option Defeats Gay Marriage” Option
  • The “This Option makes a magical wall that keeps out the illegal aliens” Option
  • The “Let’s Trivialize the Holocaust by Comparing it to Health Care Reform” Option
  • The WWBMW (What Would Baby Maddie Weawy Weawy Want) Option

    You’re right, just accuse people against the bill of being closed minded and stupid. That will win votes!

    Other than that it was funny.
