Obama: Angry Townhalls Prove Need for Cheaper Meds

(2009-08-22) — An outbreak of tumultuous Democrat-run townhall meetings nationwide provides the best proof yet, President Barack Obama said today, that America needs government-run health care to provide low-cost medication to citizens who suffer from bouts of anger and depression.

“Clearly there are mental health issues which are not receiving proper attention under our current health care system,” the president said during his weekly Saturday radio address. “I’ve seen the red-faced citizens, shouting themselves hoarse, even babbling incoherently about rationing, loss of liberty, socialism and the like. These folks need help that the big insurance companies won’t give them because they’d rather line the pockets of their fat-cat stockholders.”

Mr. Obama brushed aside charges that he’s aloof from the concerns of average Americans and has not listened to the voice of the people.

“I know the people at these meetings don’t really mean what they say,” he added. “They’re hurting because their insurance companies have denied them coverage for their irrational rage disorders. They have to take it out on someone, because insurance companies are faceless bureaucracies with no accountability.”

The president assured the nation that the public-option health plan will include universal access to cheap, abundant doses of Prozac, sleep aids, tranquilizers and other medications designed to “even out the unruly passions of the human soul.”
