The Car Crash Scenario

Imagine this scenario in the near future under Obamacare: You are driving your GM car and you lose control and crash into a tree. Your Onstar contacts a gov't Onstar agent (because the gov't now owns GM). While you are in your car injured the bureaucratic process starts (the agent looks up the info about you):

  • If you are a Congressman, the President or his wife, an illegal alien, or even a friend of the President no problem. You will get care.
  • If you are an elderly person--no care. After all you are going to die pretty soon, so you are not worth the cost.
  • If the car sends a signal to the agent that you weren't wearing a seatbelt--that will count against you.
  • If you were talking on your cell phone--not good for you.
  • If the agent sees in your online medical file (everything medical will be on that file) that you are overweight--not good.
  • If your file says you have an incurable disease--not good. You're going to die soon so why spend the money on you.
  • If the agent finds out you were listening to Rush Limbaugh or any Conservative radio talk show before the crash--not good. (Okay, I'm being silly. Then again...)
  • If there are any anti-Obama or anti-big gov't bumper stickers on your car--not good.
  • If there are any anti-Obama or anti-big gov't books in your car--not good.

    One other thing...

  • If the tree you hit is on the endangered species list and you hurt it--definitely not good.
Keep in mind this scenario is pure "fiction."
