Random Nuclear Strikes

A man walks into an emergency Room. He is obviously injured. He says he was mugged just blocks away from the hospital. This being 2013, he is first asked if he has insurance. He says no, that his coverage was cancelled and he could not afford the new coverage.

He is told to please walk two miles to the county hospital, for that the hospital he walked into is a non-profit, tax-exempt charitable hospital and if they treat him, the IRS will charge the hospital with a violation of the Affordable Care Act and fine them.

Charitable hospitals that treat uninsured children will now be fined and receive harsher scrutiny when applying for non-profit, tax-exempt status.

The Internal Revenue Service’s Section 501 goes into effect under Obamacare. The provision stipulates new financial penalties for charitable, tax-exempt hospitals that treat uninsured poor Americans. Currently, 60 percent of American hospitals fall under this category.

Analysts explained that charity serves as a major deterrent for the uninsured to enroll in Obamacare, so the Obama administration is fining charitable hospitals.

But really, Obama cares about people.

That a law could not be passed that would make it illegal to smoke in your own home.

Oh, phsaw! This is the Obamanation!

The California city of San Rafael might be one of the more beautiful places in the country, but if you’re a smoker, it might not be the place for you.

Last week, the San Francisco suburb made active a smoking ban that officials say is the strictest in the country, prohibiting smoking cigarettes in your own home.

The ordinance specifically bans smoking in dwellings that share a wall with another unit, including apartments, duplexes and condominiums. The hope is to eliminate second-hand smoke from creeping through doors and windows, ventilation systems, floorboards and other susceptible openings. According to a U.S. Surgeon General report, secondhand smoke kills about 50,000 Americans per year, including 430 infants.

The San Rafael City Council unanimously approved the ban last year.

Next year, no transfats. Because your flatulence might disturb your neighbors.
