Senate Healthcare Plan Mandates All Citizens Earn Medical Degree

Washington - In an effort to reduce the cost of medical care, the latest Senate healthcare bill will require every American citizen to become a licensed medical doctor, Underneath Politics has learned. Senator Harry Reid insists the proposal would give Americans better access to care, as well as save the country billions of dollars. "If you get sick, no longer will a visit to the hospital be required; instead you'll be able to turn to the person next to you and ask, 'Can I get a little help here, Buddy; I think my appendix just burst.' Everyone would be in the same boat regardless of social standing," the Senator said. According to Mr. Reid, eventually the plan would result in the elimination of hospitals. "If we have first-aid kits available throughout cities and towns, all of America would be transformed into the largest medical care facility in the world. You wouldn't be riding a city bus; you'd be riding an elongated medical transport vehicle. I can't picture a more perfect utopia." Republican Senator John Thune however insists that all Americans don't have an aptitude for science, and time spent training would take them away from their current vocation. "We need to have a diverse community in order to thrive," he said. "If you go into a McDonalds, you want the person French frying your potatoes to have focused on training how to French fry potatoes; not removing your gallbladder on the off chance you immediately needed the procedure as soon as you entered the establishment."
