Buns and Barbs Health Insurance: Get It Now. It's Almost Free.

Don't wait until your life falls apart. Get Buns and Barbs Health Insurance and get the same false sense of security you get with insurance agencies that charge much more. For only $50.00 per month we promise to send you a letter of approval for any "medically necessary procedure" that your doctor approves. We will add to the letter the exact wording of BlueCross BlueShield which has a series of loop holes that whole continents could fall through but you will barely notice it because the first paragraph states your procedure is approved. You will feel you may rest easy and will not be forced into financial ruin as you go under the knife.

Part of that paragraph is worded like this: "Approval through the Health Management Department is not a guarantee of payment of benefits. Payment of benefits is subject to several factors, including, but not limited to, eligibility at the time of service, payment of premiums/contributions, amounts allowable for services, supporting medical documentation and other terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions."

We promise to wait several weeks after your procedure, but while you're still recovering and on unpaid leave, to send your denial of claim letter.

So what makes us better than BlueCross Blueshield? We're cheaper by far and we'll actually feel bad about taking your money knowing we were planning to screw you all along. You'll never get that from the big guys.

Let's keep Stumbling in the Right Direction Toward Healthcare for All

Here is a little song celebrating our position as #37 in the world in healthcare.

Top 10 Reasons Not to Allow Healthcare Reform

With all the talk about healthcare reform, I decided to take the side of the Right Wing Lunatics who oppose healthcare reform. Why should we care about healthcare reform? Why should we care that people are dying to see a doctor? Why should we care about our fellow human beings who are less fortunate? What is really important is ME! ME! ME! ME! Hopefully, I will never be one of the those who is in dire need of it.

I came up with the Top 10 Reasons (and a bonus) to Deny Healthcare to All Americans

10.It's a form of population control.

9. To prove Darwin was right - Survival of the fittest.

8. We don't need no stinking reform. Some people aren't worth saving.

7. People will die anyway. No matter how much you do, we all end up dead in the end. Why shouldn't rich people be allowed more time? Why do poor think they deserve it?

6. Time is money. If you are wealthy enough, you can get the extra time. I think this might be the same as #7?

5. Plastic surgery will be unaffordable if all the money goes to necessary health care. How can I afford botox injections or my butt lift if I have to pay for some poor man's emergency surgery! We must have priorities.

4. Death is God's will. (I generally argue this point but this time I am the devil's advocate!) Or maybe Sara Palin's, or Newt's, or Steele's will. Will of Steele(nice ring, don't youthink?) I vote for him to be on the first Death Panel! No matter whose will, the point is, it is the will of someone important.

3. Not doing anything actually puts an end to it all! Apathy can cure anything.

2. Right Wing religious zealots rely on prayer. Shouldn't you?

1. Dead people don't need health care. We'll kill off a lot of them in the war, unemployment, and starvation anyway. That will quickly put an end to some of those pesky insurance risks.

0. We all die in 2012 anyway. What's the point?

I propose a cheap, nondiscriminatory method for healthcare. No one gets it until the poorest American is covered. With all the money saved in the mean time, we can afford it. Problem solved.

Anybody here seen my old friend Teddy? Can you tell me where he's gone?

News reports indicate the passing of a great man, Senator Edward Kennedy has left us. The common man has no friend to fight valiantly in the Senate. His noble fights for the forgotten American earned him the title of the Lion in the Senate. The lion is forever still.

He grew up in his brothers' shadow, but his star was brighter than theirs ever was. Their careers were cut short by untimely deaths but Teddy, fighting the good fight, kept going. He was the voice for civil rights, education, and equal rights in the Senate. He never forgot us!

Ted was born a man of infinite privilege. Yet, he was never ignorant of the fact that all people were not as blessed as he. His mother, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, ever the grand, gracious lady instilled in her children the values that carried him through his life. "To whom much is given, much will be required." You were given plenty. You gave more than you ever got.

"He helped enact measures to protect civil and labor rights, expand healthcare, upgrade schools, increase student aid and contain the spread of nuclear weapons." He was praised by conservatives like McCain as being the most effective man in Senate. Simply put, his causes were always civil rights and looking out for the forgotten American.

"There's a lot to do," Kennedy told Reuters in 2006. "I think most of all it's the injustice that I continue to see and the opportunity to have some impact on it." Injustice was always his battle and also his opportunity. It mattered not that the hands were black, calloused from physical labor, or begging for a dime. Senator Kennedy took those hands. He raised it to a higher level. He made us believe in ourselves as well as others.

He did something to us mentally, too. He opened our minds to caring for our fellow human being. We were the same in Kennedy's eyes. We were a people of many races, religions, and income levels but we all had the same color of blood. We were equal to this aristocrat from Boston. His body was ravaged by cancer still he gave the fight of his life, trying to get healthcare for all Americans. We always trusted you with our hearts, our lives, and futures. Who will we cling to now that you are gone?

Colleagues and staff said he remained determined to fulfill what he called "the cause of my life," providing health insurance to all Americans. He helped draft legislation to overhaul the $2.5 trillion U.S. healthcare system and make it available for us all. In honor of Mr Kennedy, let's all try to do the right thing and let him know he made a difference. Let's get something going to make his last cause, our cause.

There never was a grander, more noble hero than Senator Edward Kennedy. All our heroes seemed to have departed for higher ground. I will not let you go quietly. I pledge to do my best on your behalf, Mr Kennedy to fight for and defend healthcare reform. Sadly, it will be without you. I would like to go back to yesterday while you were still with us, still a force to be reckoned with. This day is a fateful, hateful, awful day. I knew it was coming and I stayed in denial, because I can't handle or didn't want to handle the truth. We loved you better and loved you longer than we ever had a chance with your brothers. As we say our tearful goodbyes, loyal friends and relatives wait on the other side joyfully welcoming you. Go with grace to your God. Rest in peace and thank you from grateful nation.

The Lion sleeps tonight!
