00:00:03.259 --> 00:00:05.049
HEALTHCARE!!!

00:00:05.049 --> 00:00:06.046
So we finally got a healthcare plan.

00:00:06.046 --> 00:00:07.668
Are you excited?

00:00:08.191 --> 00:00:09.526
Kind of, right? Yeah.

00:00:09.526 --> 00:00:12.143
It wasn't really the plan I was hoping for,

00:00:12.143 --> 00:00:14.479
it's not an amazing progressive plan.

00:00:14.479 --> 00:00:16.722
I really thought we would have universal healthcare,

00:00:16.722 --> 00:00:17.970
but that was foolish!

00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:19.889
Then I thought we would have a public option,

00:00:19.889 --> 00:00:21.424
still overly optimistic,

00:00:21.424 --> 00:00:23.244
because we started out with the public option.

00:00:23.244 --> 00:00:27.450
In this country, when you start out with a reasonable proposal, it gets watered down,

00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:30.542
and I was frustrated that we didn't 
use <i>my</i> healthcare proposal,

00:00:30.542 --> 00:00:32.550
cause I had a healthcare proposal ready to go

00:00:32.550 --> 00:00:33.849
that nobody listened to,

00:00:33.849 --> 00:00:35.442
maybe because I'm a comedian.

00:00:35.442 --> 00:00:39.287
My healthcare proposal wasn't so much about a redistribution of wealth.

00:00:39.287 --> 00:00:44.484
My healthcare proposal was about a redistribution of organs from rich to poor.

00:00:44.484 --> 00:00:48.174
And you're thinking "oh, you mean after rich people <i>die</i>, we would take their organs from them."

00:00:48.174 --> 00:00:52.002
Yes, friends, <i>after</i> rich people die,

00:00:52.002 --> 00:00:54.542
and after we kill them,

00:00:54.542 --> 00:00:57.618
like a bunch of scalpel-wielding 
Robin Hoods in the night...

00:00:57.618 --> 00:01:00.786
we would kill these rich people 
and take their organs from them.

00:01:00.786 --> 00:01:03.817
Cause there are a lot of poor people 
who need those organs, friends,

00:01:03.817 --> 00:01:04.933
for transplants,

00:01:04.933 --> 00:01:07.047
and of course, for food.

00:01:07.047 --> 00:01:10.133
And as we all know, 
rich people's organs are a delicacy.

00:01:10.133 --> 00:01:13.867
Ohhhhh yes, how we would force-feed these rich people organic grains

00:01:13.867 --> 00:01:15.419
and get them all plump,

00:01:15.419 --> 00:01:17.685
their organs all juicy, succulent,

00:01:17.685 --> 00:01:21.075
and of course we'd have them walk around 
their very large estates...

00:01:21.075 --> 00:01:21.920
they'd be free range,

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.872
they'd be free range rich people.

00:01:23.872 --> 00:01:26.057
And then very humanely 
-because they're human beings!-

00:01:26.057 --> 00:01:27.492
we would kill these rich people,

00:01:27.492 --> 00:01:28.922
and take out their organs,

00:01:28.922 --> 00:01:29.854
and we'd feast,

00:01:29.854 --> 00:01:32.902
we'd eat a little meal I call justice.

00:01:33.426 --> 00:01:35.964
And you're thinking "Hari, that is so unreasonable!"

00:01:35.964 --> 00:01:36.858
Yes, friends!

00:01:36.858 --> 00:01:38.778
And if we had started out with that proposal,

00:01:38.778 --> 00:01:40.351
we'd have the public option by now.

00:01:40.351 --> 00:01:41.489
That's all I'm saying!

00:01:41.489 --> 00:01:43.461
We'd <i>have</i> the public option by now.

00:01:43.461 --> 00:01:45.776
Yes, some of you think 
it's an unreasonable proposal;

00:01:45.776 --> 00:01:48.459
I think of it more as a modest proposal.
