Yesterday's Health Care Summit: Condensed.
For those that didn't have six hours in the middle of the day available to watch politicians talk about health care, here's the nutshell.
(Note from EA: I may be paraphrasing a little bit.)
Obama: Thank y'all for coming today. Let's do this.
Random GOPer: Buy Across State Lines.
Obama: We'll look into it.
Random Dem: We're so close. Please let us do this.
Random GOPer: Tort Reform.
Random Dem: Pretty Please???
Random GOPer: CBO says premiums go up.
Obama: No, they don't.
Random GOPer: Uh-huh.
Obama: No, they don't.
Random GOPer: Buy Across State Lines.
Obama: Again with that. I said we'll look into it.
Random Dem: With sugar on top? We're SO CLOSE!
Random GOPer: CBO says premiums go up.
Obama: No, they don't.
Random GOPer: (clears throat) Do over.
Obama: What?
Random GOPer: Do over.
Obama: No do overs.
Random GOPer: Do over.
Random Dem: Sniffle.
Obama: Stop crying.
Random GOPer: (cough) Tort reform.
Obama: Did you say something?
Random GOPer: State Lines.
Obama: Look. We've got a lot to discuss here without rehashing talking points that both sides have been spitting out since I took office. Can we stay on topic?
Random GOPer: Democrats have talked for four hours. Republicans have talked for three minutes.
Obama: You're timing this shit? And... those numbers don't sound right.
Random GOPer: (clears throat) Tort...
Obama: (blank stare)
Random GOPer: ... reform.
Random Dem: OMG, nobody's listening to me. FML.
Obama: Okay. I think we're done here. Thanks for showing up. Jerks.
Random GOPer: (cough) You set us up. (cough)
Obama: What?
Random GOPer: Undercover patient.
Obama: Okay.
Random Dem: Sniffle.
Obama: Stop crying.
