Editorial: Universal Health Care Coverage

Now that the cage is clean, and there is new newspaper on the floor, I'm able to follow the debate amongst the presidential candidates regarding medical care and universal health care insurance. We don't want any coverage at all--we hate going to the vet! As far as we're concerned, NO health care whatsoever should be what an intelligent parakeet should strive for. In our view, health care consists of transport to the vet's office in a comfortless "travel cage", sitting in the waiting room surrounded by irritable predators, being plucked from the cage and weighed in a closed tupperware container, and then poked and prodded by a vet wearing a pair of telescopic goggles that look like something the aliens would wear in a "made-for-TV" Sci-Fi movie. Not for us! Our only consolation is that the older female has to pay over three times our original cost for the visit! Serves her right.
