In this pressing time and state of confusion, political parties are looking left and right (and center) for support on their issues. The Republicans seem to have found one such supporter: leukemia. In their battle against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Republicans find that they and leukemia share a common disposition to fair treatment and medication for all.
The Onion reports:
WASHINGTON—Citing a mutually shared vision of health care in America, congressional Republicans and the deadly bone-marrow cancer leukemia announced a joint effort Wednesday to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the historic new bill that extends health benefits to 32 million Americans nationwide.
"Republicans have no greater ally in this fight than leukemia," said Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), who was flanked by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), and the abnormal increase in white blood cells. "Denying insurance to Americans with preexisting conditions and ensuring that low-income Americans stand no chance of receiving quality health care are just a few of the core beliefs that the GOP and leukemia share."
Hopefully leukemia will help them overturn this act. It will definitely help gain support for this righteous cause. Good luck Republicans. *This article is a joke, no offense intended to anyone.
