Some expert scientists say that half of the U.S. population could be infected with swine flu this winter. But there's good news: Since the only way the government will treat you for free is when there's a newsworthy epidemic, this might work out to a form of de facto health insurance! We certainly won't be getting anything out of the Obama Administration.

It's not often you see a human female with three breasts. Unless that bulge is something else.
Unless the Obama administration takes action and curtails sales of Tamiflu, like the governments of Brazil and Argentina. Then, fatalities will skyrocket, but that's the state at work usually.
Anon@9/3/09 8:59 PM, we all know Ted Rall doesn't do boobs.
All of Ted's women have three breasts, Anon.
Yeah the issue here is whether or not the people that MATTER can be effected. When it comes to a pandemic, it's possible (however unlikely) that elites could be impacted, their kids could get sick, etc etc.
We won't get positive, progressive change in our society until elites are forced into the same boat. We need a law saying that lawmakers and their families are required to use the lowest available health care services offered. Local clinics would suddenly be good.
It's simple, we don't live in an egalitarian society. . . those who benefit will die to defend it.
It's not free.
Since we're in the doctor's office, where the average citizen could never afford the cosmetic surgery rampant among aging (and not-so aging) wealthy celebrity types, not to mention our elected officials with their 'no-pay' Cadillac health care coverage, what's up with Michael Jackson's mother and sisters? What's the deal with their noses? We occasionally hear the phrase "cutting off your nose to spite your face," but come on! Apparently, the formerly beautiful Elizabeth Taylor, seen with her new, improved face at Michael Jackson's funeral, goes to the same cosmetic surgeon as the Jackson family women (nose jobs galore!) and the late Charles Bronson. Talk about BAD cosmetic surgery! What was Bronson thinking?
The only reason swine flu gets government coverage is that rich people are afraid of catching it.
I think I told everyone a year ago:
The three breasts are homage to one of Ted's favorite directors.
