ABC’s late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel did an hilarious job slamming Obamacare and pointing out to young people that under Obamacare they are the ones stuck paying for the expensive healthcare needed by the elderly with a spoof “commercial” about the President’s disastrous healthcare policy (See video above).
You see, the way Obamacare is supposed to work is that millions of young people who are healthy and don’t need to use health insurance are supposed to buy it anyway so that the premium money they are paying into the system can be given to the elderly who need coverage now. It really is little else but a giant pyramid scheme.
Of course, Obamacare is failing badly specifically for that reason. Young people are not joining like Obama hoped they would. Thus far, only 24 percent of those signed up for Obamacare are the 24-year-olds that the system needs. Obama hoped to have 38 percent by now. They aren’t even close.
Kimmel’s spoof couple thanking the young folks for buying them a penis pump.
The amazing thing about this amusing segment on the Jimmy Kimmel Show is that Kimmel is a pretty extreme leftist, so for him to attack Obamacare like that is notable and shows just how badly the law is failing.
Usually I have no use for Jimmy Kimmel, but I have to say this segment is pretty darned funny.
Do you think Kimmel and his staff nailed it?
