"CompromiseCareTM"

# Under CompromiseCareTM, people with no coverage will be allowed to keep their current plan.

# Medicare will be extended to 55-year-olds as soon as they turn 65.

# You will have access to cheap Canadian drugs if you live in Canada.

# States whose names contain vowels will be allowed to opt out of the plan.

# You get to choose which doctor you cannot afford to see.


See Borowitz for the rest of the details of the new Senate plan.

Thanks to Ann.
