Health Care 101 for Hoopleheads

If I proposed to you that I was going to reduce the price of eggs from six dollars a dozen to two dollars a dozen, most people would not ask "How will I be able to afford eggs?'. However, the Republicans have sold the Hoopleheads on this notion. Every country in the world with socialized medicine provides better health care at about one third the cost of our lousy system, yet the Hoopleheads believe we cannot afford cheaper health care. Ironically of all organizations my facts are backed up by the CIA Fact Book. Hooples don't care about numbers, facts, or figures. Hooples listen to people like Glenn Beck, and Rush. Hooples believe that if a lot of people believe something it is true, or if they read something they like it is true. Reality rarely penetrates the mind of a Hoople. Ethanol is a classic case of a Hoople brain at work. Gasoline is a little cheaper with ethanol, but you also get poorer mileage. The Hooples notice the price, but don't realize it gets them nowhere because of the poor mileage. Hooples are what makes a magic show work.
