We Need Universal Health Care to Make Life Easier for Reality TV Stars

From NewsBusters I picked up a couple of irrational quotes from the Washington Post about how government run health care might have saved Jon and Kate's marriage (I am not against saving the marriages of TV stars. I just think that it should happen within the confines of reality.)
". . . if the federal government subsidized in vitro fertilization (IVF), Kate might have had only one baby instead of sextuplets. "Possibly nothing could have saved this marriage, but one thing would have made it less fragile: a mandate for health insurance to cover in vitro fertilization.""
………………………………............
"The price tag for health-care reform is already higher than anybody expected, so it's probably unreasonable to think that it could include better insurance coverage for the millions of Americans who suffer from infertility. But such coverage for women of childbearing age could lower the extraordinary health-care costs associated with the birth of triplets or more. And it would even the reproductive odds, giving middle-class and lower-income Americans access to treatment that is currently reserved for the well-off or the unusually well insured."

Government run health care will be able to bring JFK and Captain Kangroo back from the grave.  It will end tooth decay and the heart break of psoriasis and banish static cling from our great land.  If the government runs health care I will finally get a date with that real pretty checker at the super market.  I think her name is Melody.  And if the Democrats run health care my wife won't mind.

Probably the only thing worth remembering from everything above is the money quote: "The price tag for health-care reform is already higher than anybody expected" The remainder is probably lies.
