The article below is satire. Andy Borowitz is an American comedian and New York Times-bestselling author who satirizes the news for his column, "The Borowitz Report."
n
a blockbuster documentary to be broadcast tonight, the Fox News Channel
alleges that Obamacare is "little more than a thinly veiled scheme to
force Americans to live longer."
The documentary, called "The Ugly Truth About
Obamacare," claims that President Obama "is cynically using the
health-care law to achieve his true objective: raising the life
expectancy of Americans without their consent."
"In America, how long you live has always been your
own business," says the documentary's narrator, Sean Hannity. "Under
Obamacare, though, it's the government's business-a government that
wants you to live as long as humanly possible."
The documentary lays out a nightmare scenario of Americans being saddled with sky-high life expectancies for years to come.
In perhaps the most chilling prediction of the
documentary, Mr. Hannity warns, "If Obamacare goes into effect,
Americans will be forced to live as long as people in Finland, Denmark,
and other socialist countries."
Speaking with reporters today, Mr. Hannity said he
hoped that the documentary would be a "wake-up call about the secret
agenda behind Obamacare."
"President Obama is playing God with American lives,"
Mr. Hannity said. "And if he stubbornly insists on making those lives
longer, that could be grounds for impeachment."
