A New Health Care Idea

(2)

The US population reached 300 million this morning, they say. This is only an educated guess, of course. There is room for doubt concerning whether that singular arrival was male or female, legal or illegal. As I thought about the significance of this news, I connected it with another salient fact about the US population: the 'health care problem.' It appears that the population growth exceeds the growth in health care. I have a suggestion: let's eliminate circumcision cost. That would save us at least 200 million dollars a year. What I am proposing here is that we as a nation outlaw neonatal circumcision as a 'theraputic device' healthcarewise. It is obviously not cost-effective, not to mention that it seriously cuts into total national sexual satisfaction (TNSS), an importantant measure of national well-being in a highly competitive world.

Therefore I hereby propose that the elimination of subsidised neonatal circumcision be at the top of any new healthcare proposal to be submitted to congress. Not that I would propose an actual law against the procedure just yet. Jews, Muslims, and penis-envious daddies would still be able to circumcise their male newborns, only they would have to pay for the 'procedure' out of their own pockets. Sound reasonable? I estimate that this health care provision would eventually reduce sexual mutilation in America to near the low levels now being experienced in, for example, Britain. Furthermore it would save us many millions which would be better spent elsewhere.

I would favor an eventual ban on neonatal circumcision, including circumcision for so-called 'religious reasons' beginning in the year 2016. After 2016 it would be a crime to sexually mutilate any newborn male for all except bonafide medical reasons - excluding, of course, that ancient Jewish diagnosis, 'phymosis,' which is basically a scam.

I understand that this law would place an unacceptable burden on the hard-core Judeo-Muslim population. Therefore I would write into the non-circumcision law a rider to the effect that any Jew/Muslim who sought to emigrate because of the new law be granted a 25 dollar compensation toward his exit expenses.
