Talk of insurer’s mini-zoo makes for health care reform humor

The health care debate has been, well, pretty boring for those of us who have to live, breath, write, rewrite, edit and headline it day after day. What with President Obama saying the same thing to a collection of different and diverse faces each day, I can tell you what’s coming from the mouth of Kathleen Sebelius, the health secretary, Sen. Max Baucus and Sen. Olympia Snowe before each of them knows it.
Even Joe Biden has joined in the appeal health care reform at a National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ meeting near Washington, D.C., today.
Lacking from the the discussion is humor, and that means this whole debate over health care reform, insurance company profits, the need to halt recissions is just plain boring.
Until now.
Thanks to MoveOn.org and FunnyorDie.com, the health care debate is now funny. Even if you disagree with its premise, checking out this 2:20 public service announcement, Protect Insurance Companies, is worth a few laughs. Got to get me a mini-zoo!

September 25th, 2009 at 1:28 pmagree or disagree with the intent of the video, i find it humorous — no, actually scary — that they would blatantly lie and say that 80% of americans favor a public health insurance plan. cut that number in half and then take a few more points off, and you are closer to the real number.
while deceitful, one can never get enough of will ferrell, can they?
