FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BILLIONAIRES FOR WEALTHCARE JOIN FIGHT TO KILL HEALTHCARE RFORM RALLY WITH TEABAGGERS TO ENSURE FREEDOM TO DENY CLAIMS!

Billionaires for Wealthcare ( http://billionairesforwealthcare.com), the satirical street theater group composed of “Health Insurance CEOs, HMO lobbyists, and others profiting off of our broken healthcare system,” will be out in force this Saturday, September 12 “thanking” the teabaggers for protecting healthcare industry profits. Billionaires will gather near the Capitol Steps, Washington, D.C., 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. during the Tea Party March on Washington ( http://912dc.org/ ).

Among the billionaires and health industry CEOs on hand for the event, Phil T. Rich spoke up for their cause: “For the last decade, healthcare costs have been moving in the right direction: up! And with no competition, we raise rates as often and as high as we like — 29% in some cases — simply because, well, we can.”

“To further maximize our gains,” added fellow billionaire Monet Oliver De Place, “we have assembled a star chamber of insurance bureaucrats, backed by legions of anonymous temps, who adhere to strict
cost-to-profit ratios when denying claims. But please don’t call them Death Panels; we prefer ‘Judge, Jury & Executioner.’”

PHOTO OPs will abound as Billionaires in tuxedos and evening gowns entertain the crowds, sing patriotic songs, and pop champagne bottles while holding placards that read “Let Them Eat Advil”, “Our Death Panels
Turn a Profit” and “Whatever Happened To An Apple A Day?”

ABOUT BILLIONAIRES FOR WEALTHCARE

Billionaires for Wealthcare is a grassroots network of health insurance CEOs, industry lobbyists, talk-show hosts, and others profiting off of our broken healthcare system. We are not a political, religious or even
particularly well-organized group. We’re simple folk, thrilled profiteers, pouring out of our corner offices to dance on the grave of “Change.” We’ll do whatever it takes to ensure another decade where America’s pain is our gain. After all, when it comes to healthcare, if we ain’t broke, why fix it?

    Personals Column / Relationship Desired: Slave seeks Master
    _____________________________________________________________________
    Willing slave desires parasitical relationship with benevolent ( but same race ) Master.

    Feelings of jealousy and envy are a mandatory requirement. Mental instability optional.

    Benefits must include:
    For relinquishment of the value of true self-worth, willing slave must be offered all of
    the freedoms of oblivion to moral and ethical responsibilities both public and private.

    In exchange:
    Master will be given unquestioned authority to lie at will ( any means to an end )
    and rewarded with the pseudo-self-esteem of the self-loathing power-monger, and
    maybe a crown or something.

    Also willing to take long walks on beach while hating you.

    References Required
    Religious pompousness a plus / Two faced Politician ( plus - plus )
    NeoCon or the equivalent preferred / dishonesty a MUST

    Those tea baggers were probably confused cause they were marching for so many different things.Some of their signs were atrocious and their blatant racism was so apparent. They saw the healthcare billionaires with some signs explaining how they got rich and they still didn't catch on. Their medical premiums will get so high that one day soon they won't be able to afford their health insurance. This country is run by lobbyists, Freedom Works, Glen Beck, Fox, stupid republicans and stupid teabaggers. How in God's name do you expect our brilliant and educated President to get anywhere? Redneckers - the entire lot of you.
  • Brilliant...brilliant
    An effective to show how stupid they are (Tea baggers )
    Unfortunately, racism makes people stupid and irrational.
  • Excellent commentary. Thanks Rachel for bringing this to light. Loved the looks on the Teabaggers faces--Stop Socialism, End Medicare and my personal favorite, CIGNA-Palin 2012.
