Obamacare: The comic book

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 8, 2011 11:12 AM

The eggheads who gave us Obamacare, still drowning in the delusion that their problem is p.r. and not policy, have cooked up a cure for the nation’s continuing health care ills:

A comic book!

Yes, if only we morons were able to digest the 2,000-page monstrosity with colored pictures and bigger font, we’d all bow before the federal health care bureaucrats and their costly mandates in silent, wondrous awe.

For real: (h/t JWF)

The MIT economics whiz who crafted President Obama’s national health-care overhaul now plans to explain the complex and controversial plan to the masses — in one long comic book.

Jonathan Gruber, a nationally recognized health economist who devised the economic underpinnings of Obamacare (Gruber hates the term), said his three comic-loving kids encouraged him to use the hip format of the graphic novel — basically an expensive comic published in book form — to tell the story of the complicated plan to 300 million Americans.

Unlike most comic books, Gruber’s won’t have a superhero like Batman or Captain America or a villain like the Joker, he said.

“I’m going to use the facts to tell the story,” Gruber, 45, told the Pulse yesterday. “I’m the narrator guiding the reader through the law. It’ll have lots of pictures and text.”

…Gruber said he will illustrate how the president’s plan will lower health-care costs and end discriminatory insurance practices that make it much harder for sick people to get coverage.

“My family made me realize that there’s such a misunderstanding of the bill, and that it’s important to explain why we need this, and what it does,” he said. “I’ve found that when people understand it, they like it.”

I can’t wait for the appearance of Captain Waiver (dressed in SEIU purple, of course).

Or the graphic depiction of the four moderate Democrats who are going after the individual mandate. Draw them as the Four Horsemen of the Obamacare-o-calypse.

Thank goodness the House Republicans aren’t wasting time in fantasy land:

“Buried in Paperwork: A 1099 Update”

On Wednesday, February 9, 2011 at 1:00 pm, the House Small Business Committee will hold its first full committee hearing entitled, “Buried in Paperwork: A 1099 Update.”

During the hearing, the Committee will examine the expanded 1099 information reporting requirements in Section 9006 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Committee will hear testimony from small business owners about the mandate’s administrative burdens and its potential negative impact on job creation, growth and business investment. The Committee will also hear testimony from Representative Daniel E. Lungren (R-CA), the sponsor of legislation to repeal Section 9006 of the Act.
Witnesses and Testimony:

Panel One

* Representative Daniel E. Lungren (R-CA), sponsor of the Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act (H.R. 4)

Panel Two

* Mr. R. Jerol Kivett, President of Kivett’s Inc
o Representing the National Federation of Independent Businesses

* Mr. John “Mark” Eagleton, Managing Member of Eagleton Ventures, LLC
o Representing the National Restaurant Association

* Mr. Seth Shipley, Owner of Shipley’s Fine Jewelry
o Representing the National Retail Federation

* Mr. Mike Kegley, President of B.O.L.D. Homes, Inc.
o Representing the National Association of Home Builders

    Here we go again. If people disagree with your plan, it’s not the plan that’s the problem, it’s their misunderstanding of the plan. Just explain it to them a different way and they are sure to agree with you.

    I am going to start investing in medical technology providers that are developing cures for neck strain as a result of all the head-shaking that this administration and their followers produce.

    Well, at least someone will actually have to read the bill before they can make the comic book. And that person, upon actually reading it, will probably refuse to make the comic book…except perhaps to riducule the bill! A comic book about this administration would be appropriate. Good for a laugh, but not much else.

    Make sure to include the following facts in your story:

    1) Rasmussen polling shows an average of 58% of Americans favor repeal of the law—that’s not just “disapprove” but favor repeal and it’s over 10 months of tracking

    2) Aside from one faintly broadcast Harry Reid ad, Not a single Democrat campaigned on the notion that he/she voted for the bill.

    3) Errant information given the CBO when they scored the bill

    4) Over 220 waivers given out so instutions from companies to unions would not have to CUT BENEFITS under the new law

    5) MIT’s reputation for economics. Not really that strong.

    I’ve got it! We have college education that everyone has a ‘right’ to have and we have health care which everyone has a ‘right’ to have.

    While we are always being reminded about how expensive healthcare has become we rarely discuss how expensive college has become so I guess it isn’t so bad. I propose that we abandon health insurance altogether and use government back loans for healthcare just like we do for college tuititon.

    Those who need medical treatment that they cannot afford will now just take out a government backed loan for the cost of the care. No longer will healthy people’s hard earned money have to go toward insurance premiums for care that they’ll likely never need. Instead, only the sick will have to pay but, because anyone who needs a health care loan can get one, everyone will get the quality health care they deserve whether they can afford it or not. This will be an added incentive for doctors to do their best job to insure patients will be in perfect health to get a good job and pay back the loan – just like college professors do so well doing today to prepare college graduates to get a job and pay back their tuition loans.

    This is so simple…

    I’ll bet this was studied very carefully by the libs. The final verdict was that since public education has failed to produce even good results, the only way to reach the masses is to dazzle them with comics, cartoons, and color.

    Reminder: Healthcare was never discussed, analyzed, studied, nor debated. It was never even on anyone’s radar, except for the statist Obamaites. They were not interested in the economy or jobs, simply securing their political futures via statist control and healthcare is the surest way to do that.

    The only capitalism Obama and his friends understands is crony capitalism, because as we all know, it’s all about the boodle. This little man really does need to be in prison. It’s quite clear. He, and many in Congress, have deliberately violated their oaths of office.

    We need a Darrell Issa super crime fighter comic book. Think about this as an example. Chris Dodd has never held a job outside of government and will retire a millionaire with a paid for house in Ireland via his writing of the TARP language. Almost all of these people that have been on capitol hill for any amount of time are millionaires, have fully funded retirement plans and health care for life. In other words Golden Parachutes.

    And for their years of service what do we have to show for it? Bankruptcy as far as the eye can see. A collective of 535 special citizens along with the various executive branches have led us to financial ruin and will not suffer one whit for doing so.

    I’d say it’s either jail or tar and feathers time for many of them. We have their names, we have their handiwork on record, we have seen the damage caused by their motives and we ought to have their assets to take back.

    Do you think the next step will be to hire those guys that do The Simpsons or South Park to create a cartoon version to explain it? Imagine Homer, Marge and Bart explaining Obama, Harry and Nancy.

    Yup, it’s all about the marketing, isn’t it. The fact that the gov has to LIE in order to get the public to like it doesn’t factor in at all. They are marketing “free stuff” to the public and forgetting that someone has to pay for it at some point in time.

    Can these people get their stories straight?

    I think we should make a US Constitution comic book to send to Prof. Gruber.

    I know of a certain Constitutional scholar who could use one too.

    When they make the comic book into the movie, I think Vince Vaughn should be the star. He’s not that funny and neither is the story.

    The only thing that would be believable about an Obamacare comic book would be the cover story of Obamacare man. No one would ever believe this guy is a superhero!

    A comic book??? That we pay for??? To remind us how stupid we are for not bowing to Obamacare!!

    a comic book to describe the workings of this WH is very appropriate. After all it is a joke.

    As an Army Draftee in the mid 1960′s we got the comic book treatment on how to check the oil in your truck, how to clean your rifle, etc. A lot of the draftees were barely able to read.
    ***
    And then–a warning label on a hand grenade! As if this was going to help much.

    But the comic books might be useful in educating liberals, democrats, and socialists in basics. Lowrider and girlie magazines seem to be about their speed.

    Phil – You forgot Chinese (Mandarin) and Spanish. You don’t want to look racist, do you?

    And I’m surprised Jamie Gorelick didn’t write the Obabmacare legislation. Its headed for a disaster too.

    Given our culture with comic books, and how they are typically fantasy-based treatments, it is indeed ridiculous that they’d even consider doing one to “explain” Obamacare. That said, in a country like Japan, comics (or “manga”) is handled much differently, and it is read by a large portion of their highly literate population, simply because there is such a broad spectrum of stories and and other material that is handled.
